Integrated medicament delivery device for use with continuous analyte sensor

Abstract

An integrated system for the monitoring and treating diabetes is provided, including an integrated receiver/hand-held medicament injection pen, including electronics, for use with a continuous glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the receiver is configured to receive continuous glucose sensor data, to calculate a medicament therapy (e.g., via the integrated system electronics) and to automatically set a bolus dose of the integrated hand-held medicament injection pen, whereby the user can manually inject the bolus dose of medicament into the host. In some embodiments, the integrated receiver and hand-held medicament injection pen are integrally formed, while in other embodiments they are detachably connected and communicated via mutually engaging electrical contacts and/or via wireless communication.

         8 . The integrated system of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated electronics are configured and arranged to require validation prior to injecting an amount of medicament into the host. 
     
     
         9 . The integrated system of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver is configured to communicate in at least one of wiredly with a single-point glucose monitor and wirelessly with a single-point glucose monitor. 
     
     
         10 . The integrated system of  claim 1 , wherein the medicament injection pen comprises a motor. 
     
     
         11 . The integrated system of  claim 10 , wherein the motor is configured to set the amount of medicament. 
     
     
         12 . The integrated system of  claim 10 , wherein the motor is configured to control a rate of medicament injection into a host. 
     
     
         13 . The integrated system of  claim 10 , wherein the receiver is configured to remotely control the motor. 
     
     
         14 . The integrated system of  claim 1 , wherein the medicament injection pen and the receiver each comprise mutually engaging electrical contacts, and wherein the mutually engaging electrical contacts are configured to allow communication between the medicament injection pen and the receiver. 
     
     
         15 . The integrated system of  claim 14 , wherein the system is configured to initiate communication between the medicament injection pen and the receiver in response to engagement of the electrical contacts. 
     
     
         16 . The integrated system of  claim 14 , wherein the system is configured to communicate medicament delivery data between the medicament injection pen and the receiver in response to engagement of the electrical contacts. 
     
     
         17 . The integrated system of  claim 1 , further comprising a receptacle configured and arranged to receive at least one of parts associated with the medicament injection pen and accessories associated with the medicament injection pen. 
     
     
         18 . The integrated system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the parts associated with the medicament injection pen and accessories associated with the medicament injection pen comprise a medicament cartridge.
