A sticker for attaching a photoacoustic sensor or portion thereof to the skin of a patient comprising: a substrate; an adhesive layer on the substrate suitable for adhering the sticker to the skin; apparatus for attaching the sticker to the photoacoustic sensor; and at least one device for presenting an identifying ID code.
摘要:
Apparatus for assaying an analyte in a body comprising: at least one light source implanted in the body controllable to illuminate a tissue region in the body with light at at least one wavelength that is absorbed by the analyte and as a result generates photoacoustic waves in the tissue region; at least one acoustic sensing transducer coupled to the body that receives acoustic energy from the photoacoustic waves and generates signals responsive thereto; and a processor that receives the signals and processes them to determine a concentration of the analyte in the illuminated tissue region.
摘要:
The present invention is directed towards apparatuses and methods for the automated measurement of blood analytes and blood parameters for bedside monitoring of patient blood chemistry. Particularly, the current invention discloses a programmable system that can automatically draw blood samples at a suitable programmable time frequency (or at predetermined timing), can automatically analyze the drawn blood samples and immediately measure and display blood parameters such as glucose levels, hematocrit levels, hemoglobin blood oxygen saturation, blood gases, lactate or any other blood parameter.

The present invention relates to a device, system and a method for measuring an analyte and in particular, to such a device, system and method in which analyte from a bodily fluid is measured and/or monitored.
摘要:
The present disclosure presents systems, devices and methods for injection of drugs, substances and/or chemicals to a patient and for improving their effectiveness once they are injected are disclosed. Additional treatment can be applied to a tissue region on the patient into which a drug (e.g., insulin) is injected, to expose the tissue region to various forms of energy or a substance to improve the drug's pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic profile.

摘要:
A method and a device for a delivery of a chemical substance to the body of the patient are provided. The device includes an infusion catheter configured to be inserted into a tissue, a catheter securing element configured to be adhered to the skin of the patient and further configured to secure the infusion catheter to the skin, a drug delivery pump configured to infuse a drug into the infusion catheter for delivery to a drug infused region on the body of the patient, and a treatment element configured to apply a treatment to the drug infused region to improve pharmacodynamics of the drug during a period of delivery of the drug to the patient.
摘要:
The present invention is directed toward a method of measuring a blood parameter and, in particular, a glucose measurement system controlled by a novel controller. In one embodiment, the system has a controller, a pump, flush solution in a first reservoir, IV solution in a second reservoir, a first valve, a second valve, and a plurality of tubing placing the pump, reservoirs, and valves in fluid communication with each other. The system operates by establishing a first state where the first state has the first valve open and second valve closed, closing the first valve, instructing the pump to extract fluid from tubing having IV solution therein, sensing a presence of blood at a first location in the tubing, measuring a blood parameter, instructing the pump to re-infuse the extracted fluid back into the tubing, opening the second valve where the second valve permits flush solution to flow from the first reservoir through tubing, instructing the pump to extract fluid from tubing having flush solution therein, closing the second valve, instructing the pump to re-infuse the extracted fluid having flush solution therein back into the tubing, and opening the first valve.
