Method and apparatus for providing data processing and control in a medical communication system
Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.
1. A method, comprising:
sampling a predetermined number of in vivo analyte sensors during an analyte sensor manufacturing process;
determining a sensitivity value for each of the sampled predetermined number of analyte sensors;
comparing the sensitivity value for each of the sampled predetermined number of analyte sensors to a predetermined sensitivity level;
determining a deviation of the sensitivity value to the predetermined sensitivity level, wherein when the determined deviation of a threshold percentage of the sampled predetermined number of analyte sensors exceeds a tolerance threshold level, rejecting the predetermined number of analyte sensors during the manufacturing process;
determining a mean sensitivity based on the sensitivity value of each of the sampled predetermined number of analyte sensors; and
providing a sensor code that correlates the predetermined number of analyte sensors with a predetermined sensitivity range.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensitivity value is determined in vitro.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the in vitro determination of the sensitivity value includes measuring the sensitivity value for each analyte sensor.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein measuring the sensitivity value for each analyte sensor is performed during sensor manufacturing.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined number of analyte sensors is approximately 100 or less.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the mean sensitivity is within the predetermined sensitivity range.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor code is used to calibrate the analyte sensors.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor code is stored in an analyte monitoring device.
