US Classification:

205792, 20440301, 20440314, 29874

Abstract:

The invention disclosed herein includes sensors having three dimensional configurations that allow expansive “360” sensing (i.e. sensing analyte from multiple directions) in the environments in which such sensors are disposed. Embodiments of the invention provide analyte sensors having foldable substrates adapted to produce optimized configurations of electrode elements as well as methods for making and using such sensors. Typical embodiments of the invention include glucose sensors used in the management of diabetes.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61B 5/145
A61B 5/1473

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an integrated cannula and sensor assembly is disclosed. The integrated cannula and sensor assembly includes a cannula with a proximal end and a distal end. The cannula also has a body and a tip. The body includes a channel and a body distal that is defined between the proximal end and the distal end. The tip is defined between the body distal and the distal end. The assembly further includes a sensor assembly that is located within the channel, wherein the tip further includes an undercut configured to retain the sensor assembly.

Assignee:

PercuSense, Inc. - Valencia CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/053
A61B 5/145

Abstract:

A sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly having a first conductor and a second conductor being separated by an insulator. The sensor assembly further has an aperture that is formed through the first conductor, the second conductor and the insulator, wherein formation of the aperture creates an electrical short circuit between the first conductor and the second conductor.

A61M 5/172
A61B 5/00
A61B 5/1459
A61B 5/1473

Abstract:

A continuous glucose monitoring system may include a hand-held monitor, a transmitter, an insulin pump, and an orthogonally redundant glucose sensor, which may comprise an optical glucose sensor and a non-optical glucose sensor. The former may be a fiber optical sensor, including a competitive glucose binding affinity assay with a glucose analog and a fluorophore-labeled glucose receptor, which is interrogated by an optical interrogating system, e.g., a stacked planar integrated optical system. The non-optical sensor may be an electrochemical sensor having a plurality of electrodes distributed along the length thereof. Proximal portions of the optical and electrochemical sensors may be housed inside the transmitter and operationally coupled with instrumentation for, e.g., receiving signals from the sensors, converting to respective glucose values, and communicating the glucose values. The sensors' distal portions may be inserted into a user's body via a single delivery needle and may be co-located inside the user's body.
