Abstract: A simple sensing device includes a case with one or more indicators to indicate levels of an analyte such as glucose. The sensing device for self-monitoring an analyte includes a single, flexible case adapted to adhere to a skin of a patient. It also includes a printed circuit board assembly inside the case. It further includes a first sensor extending from the flexible case and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board, and one or more indicators in the flexible case, where the indicator(s) are adapted to indicate whether a level of an analyte is within a normal range.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an insertion device that includes: a plunger coupled with a lock collar. The insertion device houses contents including: a striker including self-locking striker snap arm(s) where the striker is kept from firing by a striker spring captured between the plunger and the striker when the insertion device is in a cocked position; a sensor assembly; and a needle carrier that holds a piercing member, the needle carrier captured between the striker and a needle carrier spring where a self-releasing snap(s) keeps the needle carrier cocked, where the plunger prevents the self-releasing snap(s) from repositioning and releasing the needle carrier. The striker fires the needle carrier such that the self-locking striker snap arm(s) are positioned to allow the striker to snap down. The needle carrier is then retracted when the user releases the plunger and the piercing member is encapsulated within the insertion device.

Abstract: A medical sensor device includes a sensor assembly including an underside surface for attachment against a patient's skin, a sensor portion to detect a characteristic of the patient, and sensor assembly contacts which in operation carry signals representing the detected characteristic. The device also includes a transmitter assembly removably engageable with the sensor assembly and including circuitry to take the signals from the sensor assembly contacts and to transmit readings of the detected characteristic to external equipment. The device also includes mechanical interface components on the sensor assembly and the transmitter assembly which allow the transmitter assembly to be brought into abutment with the sensor assembly at a first angular position via relative axial movement between them, and then allow a relative rotation of the assemblies with respect to one another towards a second angular position and presents axial separation of the assemblies in the second angular position.

Abstract: A physiological characteristic sensor assembly includes a flexible top housing including a needle port having a central opening, and a flexible lower housing defining a sensor bore through the lower housing, the sensor bore coaxial with the central opening of the needle port. The physiological characteristic sensor assembly also includes an electrical subsystem disposed between the top housing and the lower housing. The electrical subsystem includes a flexible printed circuit board having a sensor contact pad, a physiological characteristic sensor and an electrically conductive adhesive patch. The physiological characteristic sensor has a distal end that extends through the needle port and a proximal end that includes at least one electrical contact. The conductive adhesive patch electrically and physically couples the at least one electrical contact of the physiological characteristic sensor to the sensor contact pad of the flexible printed circuit board.

Abstract: A sensor introducer for a physiological characteristic sensor assembly includes a sensor introducer body that includes an outer housing that defines an opening to receive the physiological characteristic sensor assembly and an inner housing surrounded by the outer housing. The sensor introducer includes a cradle movable relative to the inner housing from a first position to a second position to deploy the physiological characteristic sensor assembly. The cradle has a cradle flange to receive the physiological characteristic sensor assembly and a cradle body that receives a needle assembly. The cradle body includes at least one locking projection that engages the inner housing to inhibit the movement of the cradle relative to the inner housing in the first position and the at least one locking projection is movable relative to the inner housing to enable the cradle to move from the first position to the second position.
