Abstract: A method of automatically initializing an analyte sensor for a user is disclosed here. A first analyte sensor is operated in a first measurement mode to generate first sensor signals indicative of an analyte level of the user. A second analyte sensor is deployed to measure the analyte level of the user, and is operated in an initialization mode, concurrently with operation of the first analyte sensor in the first measurement mode, to receive sensor configuration data generated by the first analyte sensor. During operation of the second analyte sensor in the initialization mode, the second analyte sensor is calibrated with at least some of the received sensor configuration data. After the calibrating, operation of the second analyte sensor is transitioned from the initialization mode to a second measurement mode during which the second analyte sensor generates second sensor signals indicative of the analyte level of the user.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to medical devices that include a transmitter assembly positioned on top of a sensor assembly. A sensor assembly includes a sensor base having a bottom surface and a top surface having an interface. The interface accommodates a sensor stack that includes at least one sensor head having electrical contact pads connected to an elastomeric connector. The sensor assembly further includes a mounting base having a first side that attaches to the bottom surface of the sensor base, and a second side that adheres to a patient's skin. A transmitter assembly includes a transmitter shell and a transmitter cap having an interface that engages with the sensor base. Also, the transmitter assembly includes electrical contacts disposed on the transmitter cap that connect with the electrical contact pad(s) of the sensor assembly.

Abstract: An introducer is provided for introducing a sensor into the body of a patient. The introducer connects to a sensor hub. When the sensor hub and introducer are connected, the introducer needle is exposed. When the sensor hub and introducer are disconnected, a needle cover and the needle move with respect to each other so that the needle cover substantially covers the needle, protecting a user from being injured by the needle.

Abstract: A simple, disposable sensing device for sensing an analyte is housed in a single case. The sensing device can transmit sensor data to monitoring device(s). The sensing device includes: a case having a lower major wall adapted to be mounted against a patient's skin, and an upper opposing major wall; a sensor extending from the case and having a distal end sensitive to the analyte to produce an electrical signal, and a proximal end within the case having electrical contacts; a printed circuit board assembly within the case supported by one of the major walls to receive the electrical signal via the electrical contacts; and an elastomeric pad disposed in the case and biased by the other major wall to urge the proximal end of the sensor into contact with the printed circuit board assembly and maintain an electrical connection between the electrical contacts and the printed circuit board assembly.

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.
