摘要:
A multiple use analyte sensing assembly that includes a long, thin conductor. A plurality of sensing sites are spaced along the conductor and each sensing site includes a membrane system adapted to create a current when placed into contact with body fluid containing the analyte. The assembly also includes a housing, having an aperture, an uptake spool and a payout spool, the conductor being wrapped about the payout spool before the sensing assembly is used. A sensor positioning actuator turns the uptake spool to move each sensing site, in sequence, to the housing aperture and then to the uptake spool. The assembly also includes a skin broaching assembly, having a multiplicity of lancets and a lancet positioning actuator adapted to move each lancet to the aperture. In addition, a lancet use actuator is adapted to move each lancet at least partially through the aperture and then back again.
摘要:
A sensing element adapted to, at least in part, be inserted into a mammalian body. The sensing element is made up of a core of a structurally robust metal and a plated portion made of an electrochemically active metal conjoined to at least a portion of the core. This sensing element may be used as part of a method for the continuous or intermittent monitoring of an analyte within a mammalian body. The method includes inserting at least a portion of the sensing element into the mammalian body and measuring any electric current produced by at least of portion of the sensor.
摘要:
A method of measuring an analyte concentration in body fluid in an animal body having skin and subcutaneous soft tissue that includes body fluid. The method comprises, introducing a portion of an analyte-measuring device into the subcutaneous soft tissue. The analyte-measuring device includes an analyte sensing element, having a sharpened distal end to facilitate introduction into the animal body. Additionally the sensing element has an indicating electrode that is adapted to be activated by electric power and to form a raw analyte measurement, when it is activated and in contact with the body fluid, in less than two minutes. The sensing device further has a reference electrode and an electric power and display device that is adapted to mate to the analyte-sensing element. The power and display device activates the analyte-sensing element by applying electric power to it. The analyte-sensing element is introduced into the animal body and is activated by the electric power and display device, thereby causing the analyte-sensing element to form a raw analyte measurement. The power and display device forms and displays a second analyte measurement that is related to the raw analyte measurement, within two minutes of the analyte sensing element being introduced into the body.
