    摘要: A method and apparatus for easing the use of an optically based noninvasive analyzer is presented. More particularly, a simplified algorithm is used that removes the daily requirement of collecting and using a noninvasive spectrum to update a calibration model. In another embodiment, a guide is used to substantially reduce variation in sample probe placement in relation to a skin tissue sampling site, resulting in the ability to maintain calibration performance with the use of a reference analyte concentration, with or without the use of a reference spectrum collected nearby in time.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for non-destructively estimating a tissue property, such as hydration, of a living subject utilizes in vivo spectral measurements made by irradiating skin tissue with near infrared (NIR) light. The apparatus includes a spectroscopic instrument in conjunction with a subject interface. The resulting spectra are passed to an analyzer for further processing, which includes detecting and eliminating invalid spectral measurements, and preprocessing to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, an estimation model developed from an exemplary set of measurements is applied to predict the tissue hydration for the sample. The method of tissue hydration measurement provides additional information about primary sources of systematic tissue variability, namely, the water content of the epidermal layer of skin and the penetration depth of the incident light. Tissue hydration measurement is therefore suitable for further spectral analysis and quantification of biological and chemical compounds, such as analytes.

    摘要: A method of multi-tier classification and calibration in noninvasive blood analyte prediction minimizes prediction error by limiting co-varying spectral interferents. Tissue samples are categorized based on subject demographic and instrumental skin measurements, including in vivo near-IR spectral measurements. A multi-tier intelligent pattern classification sequence organizes spectral data into clusters having a high degree of internal consistency in tissue properties. In each tier, categories are successively refined using subject demographics, spectral measurement information and other device measurements suitable for developing tissue classifications. The multi-tier classification approach to calibration utilizes multivariate statistical arguments and multi-tiered classification using spectral features. Variables used in the multi-tiered classification can be skin surface hydration, skin surface temperature, tissue volume hydration, and an assessment of relative optical thickness of the dermis by the near-IR fat band. All tissue parameters are evaluated using the NIR spectrum signal along key wavelength segments.

    摘要: A method of calibrating a non-invasive blood glucose measurement instrument to a diabetic test subject employs targeted glycemic profiles in anti-correlated pairs. During calibration, reference blood glucose determinations are made using conventional invasive sampling methods. Concurrently, noninvasive spectral measurements are made using the noninvasive glucose monitor. Through controlled oral ingestion by the subject of calculated amounts of carbohydrate, the subject's blood glucose level is manipulated to mimic the patterns of the targeted profiles. During a first visit, a first profile of a pair is induced; during a second visit the inverse of the first profile is induced. The targeted profiles produce reference blood glucose values in which correlation to sampling factors is reduced or eliminated, thus the resulting calibration is correlated to glucose, and not to other analytes, sampling factors or environmental factors. A formula is provided for calculating the required amount of carbohydrate to ingest to induce a targeted glycemic profile in a test subject.

    摘要: The invention comprises method and apparatus for fluid delivery between a sample probe and a sample. The fluid delivery system includes: a fluid reservoir, a delivery channel, a manifold or plenum, a channel or moat, a groove, and/or a dendritic pathway to deliver a thin and distributed layer of a fluid to a sample probe head and/or to a sample site. The fluid delivery system reduces sampling errors due to mechanical tissue distortion, specular reflectance, probe placement, and/or mechanically induced sample site stress/strain associated with optical sampling of the sample.

    摘要: A ceramic reference in conjunction with a spectrometer, a metallized ceramic material, and a method of utilizing a ceramic material as a reference in the ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, or infrared spectral regions are presented. The preferred embodiments utilize a ceramic reference material to diffusely reflect incident source light toward a detector element for quantification in a reproducible fashion. Alternative embodiments metallize either the incident surface or back surface of to form a surface diffuse reflectance standard. Optional wavelength reference layers or protective layers may be added to the ceramic or to the metallized layer. The reference ceramic is used to provide a measure of optical signal of an analyzer as a function of the analyzers spatial, temporal, and environmental state.

    摘要: A placement guide apparatus with an improved hydration inducing plug used in coupling a noninvasive analyzer to a sampling site to determine analyte in the human body is disclosed. The hydration inducing plug includes at least one fluoropolymer that may be used as a coupling agent. The guide apparatus may further include an automated or semi-automated coupling fluid delivery system. Use of either of these couplers mitigates issues associated with related technology and enhances noninvasive analyte measurements, such as a near-IR diffuse reflectance based noninvasive glucose concentration analyzer.
