| 20110282172 | LONG-TERM IMPLANTABLE BIOSENSOR - Embodiments provide an analyte sensing device having one or more indicating electrodes adapted for long-term use within an individual. An indicating electrode coupled with a reference electrode may be inserted within or below the dermis of an individual and may be electrically coupled to an external sensor unit. Related analyte sensor insertion aids and methods of using the disclosed embodiments are also provided. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110056264 | ADDITIONAL CALIBRATION FOR ANALYTE MONITOR - Embodiments provide a method and related systems that take into account the difference between a measured glucose value and the calibration level and the amount of elapsed time since the prior calibration. As one or both of these determined differences increases, the desirability of an additional calibration also increases. The methodology described herein thus analyzes the combination of change in glucose level as well as the time since the prior calibration. If the combination exceeds a predetermined value, the system recommends, but does not require, that the subject user perform an additional calibration. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20100331642 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENSOR INSERTION - Embodiments provide a sensor insertion tool (SIT) that provides a motive force for insertion of an analyte sensor into/through skin. A SIT may be releasably locked to one or more components of a sensor insertion system, such that components of the sensor insertion system remain securely coupled during sensor insertion. A SIT may include a release member that unlocks or uncouples the SIT and the other components after sensor insertion. In various embodiments, a SIT may be a component of a sensor insertion system configured for assembly by an end user, a health care professional, and/or a caretaker prior to sensor insertion, and may act in cooperation with other sensor insertion system components. Additional components and methods of assembly and use are also provided herein. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100198031 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BACKGROUND CURRENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR A BIOSENSOR - Embodiments of the present invention provide for raising a background current setting for a biosensor above the actual (measured) background current present (i.e., overestimating the background current), particularly in the hypoglycemic range, to improve sensor accuracy and decrease the chance of glucose value overestimation by the sensor. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100052899 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN WIRELESS DEVICES - Systems and techniques for command communication between wireless devices are described. In one implementation, a data gathering device (such as a continuous glucose monitor) and a monitoring/control device, which communicate data samples through a frequency hopping protocol, utilize a dedicated command frequency for the transmission of non-data instructions and acknowledgements. A command mode is described where the command frequency is regularly listened to by a device to determine if pairing or other instructions are being sent. In another example, when communications are disrupted or corrupted, the devices revert to using the command frequency in order to reacquire a paired link between the devices. The command frequency is also used for a flight mode, where the data-acquisition device goes into a low-, or no-power transmission mode and remains in the mode, storing sampled data, until instructed to leave the flight mode over the command frequency. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090082648 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING SKIN PRIOR TO BIOSENSOR INSERTION - Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and method for treating animal skin to produce tautness in the skin during the insertion of an analyte sensor. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present invention includes a housing that partially encloses a cavity and is adapted for mounting onto animal skin and a sensor insertion module adapted to insert an analyte sensor through animal skin. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20080287755 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREND ALERT CALCULATION AND DISPLAY - Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatuses, and systems associated with detecting, monitoring, analyzing, and/or displaying analyte level trends in a body. In an embodiment, there is provided a method comprising obtaining a plurality of analyte measurements from a body using an analyte sensing device, and selecting two or more measurements of the plurality of measurements to calculate and display on a device associated with the analyte sensing device a rate of change of the analyte over a period of time spanning the two or more measurements. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080269657 | ADHESIVE OVERBANDAGE - Embodiments of the present invention provide an adhesive overbandage. In an embodiment, there is provided an adhesive overbandage for use with a biosensor. An exemplary overbandage comprises a frame having an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer boundary and an inner boundary, wherein the inner boundary defines an interior opening configured to receive a monitoring device, adhesive disposed on the lower surface of the frame, and a release liner removably coupled to the adhesive. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080249383 | ANALYTE SENSING DEVICE HAVING ONE OR MORE SENSING ELECTRODES - Embodiments of the present invention provide an analyte sensing device having one or more sensing electrodes. In embodiments, each sensing electrode may serve as an anode, a cathode, or a combination of an anode and cathode. In embodiments, there may be any suitable number of electrodes. Related analyte sensor insertion aids and methods of using the disclosed embodiments are also provided. | 10-09-2008 |
