ANALYTE METER WITH OPERATIONAL RANGE CONFIGURATION TECHNIQUE

摘要

Described are techniques governing the glycemic ranges that are applied and governed in the meter so the user is not required to understand or know the editing rules in order to use or set up the meter. These guiding principles will come into effect each time the user chooses to edit the ranges. There will be appropriate warning messages to inform the user if the user does not set the ranges correctly.

1. A method of operating a glucose meter having a user interface and display operatively connected to a microprocessor and non-volatile memory, the method comprising the steps of:
entering into the microprocessor via an user interface and an input high value to define glucose values for an overall range of glucose values; in the event the input high value is entered as value less than a preset minimum then the preset minimum is changed by the microprocessor to a new low value lower than the input high value or equal to a minimum permitted low value, wherein the new low value is stored in the non-volatile memory of the glucose meter; and in the event the input low value is entered as greater than a preset maximum value then the preset maximum value is changed by the microprocessor to a new high value greater than the input low value or equal to the maximum permitted high value, wherein the new low value is stored in the non-volatile memory of the glucose meter.
