Section 3 Uploading Data into theCoPilot System

3 Uploading Data into the CoPilot System

This section provides instructions to upload data from your FreeStyle Navigator Receiver to the CoPilot system. Be sure to read all instructions before you connect your receiver and upload data.

3.1 Important Considerations

Frequency to Upload – The FreeStyle Navigator Receiver can store up to 60 days of continuous glucose readings, test results, and other information. When the receiver reaches storage capacity, the oldest data is replaced with new data. To avoid losing stored information, upload data at least every 60 days.

Carefully review the following guidelines and considerations to help ensure trouble-free connections and data upload.

• Time and Date Settings - Verify that your receiver and computer have the correct (same) time and date setting. You must have the correct time and date setting when you perform any testing, record continuous data, and upload data. If the time and date setting is incorrect in either your receiver or computer, data may not upload, or data may upload with the incorrect date and time.

• Distance - The maximum distance that you can keep between your receiver and computer depends on your Bluetooth adapter. Bluetooth adapters are designed for short range communication only. For best results, place your receiver within ten feet of your computer during data upload.

• Battery - You may not be able to complete data upload if your receiver battery is less than 20% full. See the FreeStyle Navigator User’s Guide for more information about battery life and replacement.

• Time to Upload - Depending on the quantity of data stored in your receiver, it can take up to 12 minutes to upload your data.

• Device Association - The CoPilot system uniquely identifies any supported device when the device is connected, using a built-in electronic identification number. Since the data in each FreeStyle Navigator Receiver belongs to an individual user, each receiver uploaded to the CoPilot system must be associated with a specific user profile. When you upload a specific receiver for the first time, the CoPilot system prompts you to assign the receiver to a user. Once made, you cannot change the association between the receiver and user profile.

• Other Receivers Nearby - Because it is a wireless communication, the CoPilot system for FreeStyle Navigator will be able to upload other receivers that are nearby. Look for the NAV number that is located on the back of your receiver to ensure you are uploading the appropriate receiver.

11


3.2 Read Device Button - Default Device

There are two options that you can use to start the process to upload data:

• The Data Entry menu command, Read FreeStyle Navigator. • The Read Device button, or icon on the CoPilot system home page.

Figure 2. Read Device Button and Icon

By default, the Read Device button (and icon) is configured to upload data from a device that is connected to your computer with a cable. Follow this procedure if you would like to use the Read Device button to upload data from a FreeStyle Navigator Receiver:

1. Click DataEntry > Assign Default Device.

2. The Assign Default Device message opens.

3. In the Device List, select FreeStyle Navigator.

4. The Available Ports option Bluetooth (Auto) is pre-selected and displayed in grey.

3.4 Additional Messages During Data UploadThere are several other messages that you may see while connecting your receiver or uploading data:

• New Device/Data Source• Select FreeStyle Navigator• Assigned to Another User• Device Timeout

3.4.1 New Device/Data Source Message

The CoPilot system uniquely identifies every compatible blood glucose meter that you connect to upload data, by reading a unique electronic identification number included in the device.

Using the identification number, the CoPilot system assigns each device to a specific user profile. The reason for assigning each device to a specific profile is to prevent the uploading of data from a device used by one person, to the profile database of another person.

When you connect a specific device to the CoPilot system, the CoPilot system checks the identification number. If the device is new to the CoPilot system, the CoPilot system displays a New Device/Data Source message.

Figure 3. New Device/Data Source Message

15


This message prompts you to assign the device to a specific user, the name of the current user, or to add a new user. When you see this message, you have three options:

A.) To associate the device with the current profile, select Assign this device to {current user} and click OK. The CoPilot system assigns the device to this profile, and closes the message. In the future, select the correct user profile in the Select User (or Patient) list before you connect and upload data.

B.) To add a new user and associate the device with a new profile, select Add a new user and click OK. The CoPilot system opens a new profile for you to fill in required information. When you save the new profile, the device is associated and the data upload process is completed.

C.) To associate the device with another user who already has a profile, click Cancel and follow these steps:

• Return to the CoPilot system home page.• Select the person to assign the device to, in the Select User or Patient list.• Restart the data upload procedure. • When data upload is complete, the CoPilot system displays the same message. Select

Assign this device to {name of current user} and click OK.

3.4.2 Select FreeStyle Navigator Message

The CoPilot system must identify the devices that are within the range of Bluetooth communication before it can start the data upload process. If there is more than one FreeStyle Navigator within communication range, the CoPilot system displays a message with a list of available devices.

Follow instructions in the message to identify your receiver and click Connect.

16


3.4.3 Assigned to Another User Message

If you attempt to upload data from an identified device to the profile of a user who is not associated with the device, the CoPilot system prevents the data upload and displays a message.

To upload data from this device, select the correct user profile in the Select User or Patient list and restart the data upload procedure.

3.4.4 Device Timeout Messages

There are two timeout messages that you may see.

1. If you see a status message indicating the device is being read, the CoPilot system is trying to connect to a blood glucose meter that connects to your computer with a wire to a COM port. This error occurs if you use the Read Device button or icon, and the button is not set to access a FreeStyle Navigator via the Bluetooth adapter. To fix this issue, see Section 3.2: Read Device Button - Default Device.

2. A timeout message is displayed if the CoPilot system fails to connect with your receiver. Check your receiver battery, the Bluetooth adapter, menu settings and procedures in your receiver, and the distance between your computer and receiver. For more troubleshooting information, see Appendix A: Troubleshooting.

Section 4 Reports for Continuous Monitoring

4 Reports for Continuous MonitoringThe CoPilot Health Management system automatically performs statistical and other calculations on data that you upload from a device or that you enter manually.

The CoPilot system displays data in several types of reports designed to present information helpful for health management by acting as a data management tool. Reports contain various types of tables, charts, and graphs that can help you see trends and find historical details about your blood glucose, insulin, diet, medication and more.

4.1 Size Warning Message

The FreeStyle Navigator Receiver records 144 continuous glucose data points per 24-hour day. These data points and any events entered into the receiver are transferred to the CoPilot system when you upload.

When you view reports that contain continuous glucose data, the date range you select may contain more than 5000 events. If there are more than 5000 events in the date range you have selected, the CoPilot system displays the following warning message before opening the report.

Figure 4. Data Upload Size Warning

• Click No to select a smaller date range. • Click Yes to view the date range you have selected.

Depending upon your computer and the total number of events in the date range, you may experience delays in the processing and presentation of data.To decrease the time needed to process, view and interact with reports, select a smaller date range. If you often run reports with more than 5000 events, consider adding additional memory to your computer or adjusting your computer’s virtual memory settings.

18


4.2 Glucose Data Type Symbols

The following key is included on reports to help you remember symbols used for various types of data. Blood glucose (BG) readings are represented in reports as follows:

• Squares represent manual BG entries• Triangles represent discrete meter BG readings• Circles represent continuous monitoring (CM) glucose readings

4.3 Scope of this Section and Additional Information

This section provides instructions for viewing and understanding reports that show continuous glucose monitoring data. While the CoPilot system provides 11 types of reports, this user's guide discusses five of the main reports that can be used with continuous data. However, you can access continuous data in all of the reports.

• Diary List• Glucose Modal Day• Glucose Line• Statistics • Daily Combination

Complete information about viewing reports and using all report features in the CoPilot system is provided in the CoPilot Health Management System User’s Guide (see Section 5: Viewing and Printing Reports). Refer to this section for additional instructions to use the zoom feature in charts, to set data filter options, to set display options for continuous glucose data, and to edit data in the Diary List.

4.4 Diary List

The Diary List lists all the glucose, meal, and insulin events that occurred in a specified time period.

Figure 5. Diary List with Continuous Glucose Data

19


• Continuous glucose data is shown in the Type column with the Continuous Monitoring symbol (CM).

• In the Value column, each CM event is displayed with a TRU™ directional glucose trend arrow.

Figure 6. Diary List: Glucose Trend Arrows in Value Column

WARNING• Be sure to enter and check all values carefully. The CoPilot system cannot check that

the entries you make are correct for your personal needs. Serious effects on your health could result from relying on or using improper or incomplete entries. Discuss the data entry options available with your HCP so you are both clear on the amount and types of information for therapy analysis.

WARNING• Have your HCP review and confirm your entries before using this data. Serious effects

on your health could result from relying on, or using, incorrect entries.

CAUTION: Any data that is edited on the FreeStyle Navigator Receiver after that data has been uploaded will not be altered during subsequent uploads.

20


4.5 Glucose Modal Day Report

The Glucose Modal Day Report shows the daily pattern of glucose levels from blood glucose testing and continuous glucose monitoring. Daily glucose data is displayed as symbols, connected by a line. These symbols help you easily recognize the different types of data on the report.

Figure 7. Glucose Modal Day Report with Continuous Glucose Data

4.5.1 Zoom In or Out

When you view the Glucose Modal Day Report, or the Glucose Line Report, you can zoom in or out.

To zoom out, left-click and drag your mouse from the bottom right to the top left of the desired area.

WARNING• The line connecting glucose symbols helps you view daily patterns in your data. It is

not meant to represent actual glucose values. Only the symbols represent your actual glucose readings.

Daily glucose readings are displayed on the Glucose Modal Day Report under headings for specific time periods: Pre- and Post-Bkfst, Pre- and Post-Lunch, Pre- and Post-Dinner, Bed, and Sleep. A line links the daily readings. Each day is represented by a line with a unique color; if you choose to view more than seven days, the colors repeat.

21


4.5.2 Viewing Trends in Glucose Levels

Use the Glucose Modal Day Report to view trends in your glucose levels. For example, you might want to examine your breakfast glucose levels for the last several days. If the timing of breakfast is consistent over the date range that you select, it is easy to identify patterns.

For example, to view trends in your breakfast glucose levels:

• Select the Date Range you wish to view. • Zoom in on the Pre-Bkfst and Post-Bkfst time periods to better view glucose levels during

breakfast.

Figure 8. Glucose Modal Day Report - Zoom to Breakfast Time Period

CAUTION: In the FreeStyle Navigator clinical trials, the sensor signal sometimes temporarily decreased from the true value. This typically happened during sleep, and recovered rapidly when the user moved or was awakened.

Depending on the size of the decrease and your alarm settings, a false low-glucose alarm or false projected low-glucose alarm may sound. When viewing CoPilot system reports, you may see artificially low glucose readings at these times.

22


4.6 Glucose Line Report

The Glucose Line Report displays all glucose readings for the selected date range connected by one continuous line. You can quickly and easily see patterns in your glucose levels over the date range. To see more detail, zoom in on specific areas.

Figure 9. Glucose Line Report with Continuous Glucose Data

CAUTION: When you zoom in or out, you may change the scale on the Y-axis (vertical). When you compare two or more separate line graphs for different date ranges, verify that the scale on the Y-axis is the same on all graphs. Otherwise, changes in your glucose levels may be interpreted incorrectly.

23


4.7 Statistics Report

The Statistics Report includes tables for glucose, insulin, and carbohydrate statistics. The glucose statistics table includes detailed glucose meter information such as total number of readings; highest, lowest and average readings; above, below and within target percentages.

Figure 10. Statistics Report: Glucose Statistics Table

The Statistics Report does not separate continuous glucose readings from discrete or manual blood glucose readings. To view only FreeStyle Navigator continuous glucose data on the Statistics Report, you must use data filters. In the Report Configuration tool (Data Filter tab), select Glucose (CM) and de-select Glucose (BG).

CAUTION: Including both Glucose (CM) and Glucose (BG) blood glucose readings may alter the Statistics Report and other reports.

CAUTION: The CoPilot system uses a minimum of three data points to determine standard deviation. FreeStyle Navigator uses a minimum of two data points to determine standard deviation. There may be a slight difference if you are comparing the two statistics.

24


4.8 Daily Combination Report

The Daily Combination Report summarizes glucose, carbohydrate, and insulin data for a single day. It displays the data in both graphic and table formats.

You can view the glucose graph in this report with or without text. The text shows the numerical value of each glucose reading. Due to the large number of glucose readings, the numbers may be difficult to read. Open the Diary List to view the numerical value of specific glucose readings.

Appendix B: Warning andCaution Messages

Appendix B: Warning and Caution MessagesFor reference, Warning and Caution messages included in this guide are listed below.

WARNING Messages

The following WARNING messages are included in this User’s Guide.

Section 4• Be sure to enter and check all values carefully. The CoPilot system cannot check that the

entries you make are correct for your personal needs. Serious effects on your health could result from relying on or using improper or incomplete entries. Discuss the data entry options available with your HCP so you are both clear on the amount and types of information for therapy analysis.

• Have your HCP review and confirm your entries before using this data. Serious effects on your health could result from relying on, or using, incorrect entries.

• The line connecting glucose symbols helps you view daily patterns in your data. It is not meant to represent actual glucose values. Only the symbols represent your actual glucose readings.

CAUTION MessagesThe following CAUTION messages are included in this User’s Guide.

Section 4• Any data that is edited on the FreeStyle Navigator Receiver after that data has been uploaded

will not be altered during subsequent uploads.• In the FreeStyle Navigator clinical trials, the sensor signal sometimes temporarily decreased

from the true value. This typically happened during sleep, and recovered rapidly when the user moved or was awakened. Depending on the size of the decrease and your alarm settings, a false low-glucose alarm or false projected low-glucose alarm may sound. When viewing CoPilot system reports, you may see artificially low glucose readings at these times.

• When you zoom in or out, you may change the scale on the Y-axis (vertical). When you compare two or more separate line graphs for different date ranges, verify that the scale on the Y-axis is the same on all graphs. Otherwise, changes in your glucose levels may be interpreted incorrectly.

• Including both Glucose (CM) and Glucose (BG) blood glucose readings may alter the Statistics Report and other reports.

• The CoPilot system uses a minimum of three data points to determine standard deviation. FreeStyle Navigator uses a minimum of two data points to determine standard deviation. There may be a slight difference if you are comparing the two statistics.
