System and methods for processing analyte sensor data for sensor calibration

Abstract

Systems and methods for processing sensor analyte data are disclosed, including initiating calibration, updating calibration, evaluating clinical acceptability of reference and sensor analyte data, and evaluating the quality of sensor calibration. The sensor can be calibrated using a calibration set of one or more matched sensor and reference analyte data pairs. Reference data resulting from benchtop testing an analyte sensor prior to its insertion can be used to provide initial calibration of the sensor data. Reference data from a short term continuous analyte sensor implanted in a user can be used to initially calibrate or update sensor data from a long term continuous analyte sensor.

         21 . An analyte sensor system for use in measuring an analyte in a host, the system comprising:
 a transcutaneous analyte sensor;   sensor electronics connected to the transcutaneous analyte sensor; and   a contact subassembly comprising:
 at least one electrical contact electrically connecting the transcutaneous analyte sensor to the sensor electronics; and 
 a sealing member, wherein the sealing member at least partially surrounds the electrical contact and at least a portion of the transcutaneous analyte sensor when the transcutaneous analyte sensor is operably connected to the sensor electronics, wherein the sealing member seals the electrical contact from moisture. 
   
     
     
         22 . A glucose monitoring kit comprising:
 a contact subassembly comprising an elastomeric sealing member and one or more electrical contacts at least partially surrounded by the sealing member and having an exposed portion outside of the sealing member; and   an electronics unit unconnected from the contact subassembly.
