Abstract: A system for a physiological characteristic sensor deployed with a sensor inserter includes an adhesive skin patch coupled to the physiological characteristic sensor. The adhesive patch is to couple the physiological characteristic sensor to an anatomy. The system also includes a gravity resistance system coupled to the adhesive patch and to be coupled to the sensor inserter. The gravity resistance system maintains the adhesive patch substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the sensor inserter prior to deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor and is removable from the adhesive patch by the sensor inserter upon deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor.

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 assembly for sensing a physiological characteristic of a user includes a power source, a power control switch, and a power latch within a housing. The power control switch is electrically coupled to the power source, and is configured to inhibit delivery of power from the power source to one or more components of the sensor assembly before deployment of the sensor assembly to a user, and deliver power from the power source to the one or more components of the sensor assembly in response to the deployment of the sensor assembly to the user. The power latch is configured to, upon the deployment of the sensor assembly to the user, latch an output of the power control switch to maintain the delivery of power from the power source to the one or more components of the sensor assembly while the sensor assembly is in a deployed state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for continuous glucose monitoring. More particularly, the methods, systems, and devices describe a working electrode with a GOx sensor and a background electrode in which the background electrode has no GOx sensor. The system may then compare the first signal and the second signal to detect ingestion of a medication by the user. The system may generate a sensor glucose value based on the comparison.

Abstract: A disposable medical introduction system including a medical device and a disposable inserter. The disposable inserter includes a carrier to receive the medical device. The carrier includes at least one annular projection. The disposable inserter includes a retractor received within the at least one annular projection and movable relative to the at least one annular projection. The retractor has at least one retaining arm. The disposable inserter includes a needle cartridge coupled to the retractor that includes an insertion needle. The at least one retaining arm cooperates with the needle cartridge to maintain the insertion needle in a first, extended state. A movement of the retractor relative to the at least one annular projection releases the at least one retaining arm to move the insertion needle from the first, extended state to a second, retracted state.

Abstract: The invention provides a skin adhesive patch that inhibits skin irritation by releasing an anti-inflammatory agent such as a corticosteroid topically on the skin surface. Embodiments of the invention can be adapted for use with a wide variety of adhesive patches that are used to couple medical components to the skin of patients such as the devices that diabetic patients use including insulin infusion sets, patch pumps, and all-in-one patch sets.

Abstract: An insertion device configured to implant a first medical device and a second medical device in a user. The first medical device may be a fluid delivery cannula configured to deliver a fluid (e.g., insulin) to the user. The second medical device may be an analyte sensor (e.g., a glucose sensor) configured to detect a physiological characteristic of the user (e.g., a glucose level). The insertion device may be configured to be worn by the user. The insertion device includes a first linkage assembly configured to extend and retract a first insertion needle to implant the first medical device and a second linkage assembly configured to extend and retract a second insertion needle to implant the second medical device. The insertion device includes a user input device configured to cause the insertion device to initiate the implantation when activated by the user.
