Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/530,473, filed Sep. 10, 2006, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/240,259, filed Sep. 30, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,512,243, which, is counterpart PCT Application No. PCT/US2006/037312, filed Sep. 25, 2006, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties for all purposes.
- Analyte monitoring systems generally include a sensor such as a subcutaneous analyte sensor, at least a portion of which is inserted under the skin for fluid contact with interstitial fluid, for detecting analyte levels such as glucose levels, a transmitter (such as an RF transmitter) in communication with the sensor and configured to receive the sensor signals and to transmit them to a corresponding receiver unit by for example, using RF data transmission protocol. The receiver may be operatively coupled to a glucose monitor that performs glucose related calculations and data analysis.
- Generally, the sensor is configured to detect and measure the glucose levels of the patient over a predetermined period of time, and the transmitter is configured to transmit data corresponding to or associated with the measured glucose levels over the predetermined period of time for further analysis. To initially deploy the sensor so that the sensor electrodes are in fluid contact with the patient's analyte fluids, a separate deployment mechanism such as a sensor inserter or introducer is used. More specifically, the introducer includes a sharp needle shaped inserter that is configured to pierce through the skin of the patient and substantially concurrently guide the sensor through the patient's skin so as to place at least a portion of the sensor in fluid contact with the target biological fluid of the patient.
- The inserter is typically used only during the sensor insertion process, and once the sensor is properly and accurately positioned, the inserter and the introducer are discarded. This requires a level of care as the inserter is sharp and may damage other parts of the patient's skin if not properly handled. Further, since the tip of the inserter has come into fluid contact with the patient's biological fluids, it is important to take particular precautions in the handling of the inserter.
- Moreover, to minimize data errors in the continuous or semi-continuous monitoring system, it is important to properly insert the sensor through the patient's skin and securely retain the sensor during the time that the sensor is configured to detect analyte levels. Additionally, for the period of continuous or semi-continuous monitoring which can include, for example, 3 days, 5 days or 7 days, it is important to have the transmitter in proper signal contact with the analyte sensor so as to minimize the potential errors in the monitored data.
- In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to have method and apparatus for providing simple, easy to handle and accurate sensor introduction and retention mechanism for use in an analyte monitoring system. More specifically, it would be desirable to have method and apparatus that minimizes the number of components which the patient has to handle, and which also reduces the number of required steps to properly and accurately position the analyte sensor in fluid contact with the patient's analytes. Additionally, it would be desirably to have method and apparatus which provide a low profile on-body components for comfort over an extended period of time.
- Accordingly, an apparatus including an integrated sensor and data processing unit in one embodiment of the present invention includes a flexible base layer, a data processing unit coupled to the base layer, an analyte sensor coupled to the base layer and in electrical communication with the data processing unit, and a sensor introducer assembly disposed on the base layer, a portion of the sensor introducer assembly operatively coupled to a portion of the analyte sensor, where the base layer is configured for placement on a skin of a patient, and further, where the sensor introducer assembly is substantially retained on the base layer until the base layer is removed from the skin of the patient. In addition, corresponding method and system for implementing the method are provided in accordance with the various embodiments of the present invention.
- In this manner, within the scope of the present invention, there are provided method and apparatus for providing an integrated sensor deployment and analyte monitoring assembly which includes pre-positioned sensor for accurate subcutaneous positioning and coupling to the data processing unit, and which also includes a low profile for the on-body components to provide additional comfort to the patient.

-
FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the integrated on-body analyte sensor and data processing unit in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 1A , an integrated analyte sensor and dataprocessing unit assembly 100 in one embodiment of the present invention includes abase 110 and disposed thereon adata processing unit 120, ananalyte sensor 130 operatively coupled to thedata processing unit 120, asensor introducer mechanism 140, and apower supply 150. In one embodiment, thedata processing unit 120 is in electrical communication with a portion of theanalyte sensor 130, for example, with a working electrode, the reference electrode and a counter electrode of theanalyte sensor 130, and configured to receive one or more signals from theanalyte sensor 130 that are associated with a corresponding one or more analyte levels monitored by theanalyte sensor 130. While the various electrodes of theanalyte sensor 130 are not shown, each of the electrodes in one embodiment are configured to couple to a respective one or a plurality of electrical contacts of thedata processing unit 120 for electrical communication. - Referring to
FIG. 1A , thepower supply 150 may in one embodiment include a disposable battery configured to provide the necessary power to thedata processing unit 120. As further shown, thesensor introducer mechanism 140 includes a dome shaped spring biased mechanism that is configured to, upon manual activation, position at a predetermined depth, a portion of theanalyte sensor 130 through the skin layer of the patient so as to establish fluid contact with the patient's analyte such as interstitial fluid. In one embodiment, thebase 110 may include an on-skin type patch having an adhesive material disposed on a bottom surface so as to securely position the integrated analyte sensor and dataprocessing unit assembly 100 on the skin of the patient during the time period the patient is wearing theassembly 100. - In one embodiment, the
base 110 may be made of a flexible polymer film or a woven material, and having disposed thereon or embedded, laminated or woven thereon, the electronic components associated with thedata processing unit 120 and thepower supply 150. Moreover, in one aspect, thebase 110 may be configured to be water proof, dust tight and breathable to provide comfort to the patient during use, and also, to not compromise the functionality of the integrated analyte sensor and dataprocessing unit assembly 100. - Referring back to
FIG. 1A , in use, the patient is provided with the integrated analyte sensor and dataprocessing unit assembly 100 in the fully integrated and assembled form as shown in the Figure. That is, when the user is ready to position the analyte sensor, in one embodiment, the patient removes the adhesive layer on the bottom surface of thebase 110, positions thebase 110 on the desired location on the patient's skin, and manually activates thesensor introducer mechanism 140. Upon positioning of theanalyte sensor 130 transcutaneously under the patient's skin layer, the portion of the sensor introducer mechanism 140 (for example, theinsertion needle portion 160 coupled to the analyte sensor 130) that pierces the patient's skin is retracted out of the patient by a spring type retraction mechanism incorporated in thesensor introducer mechanism 140. - Thereafter, the
sensor introducer mechanism 140 including theneedle portion 160 is retained on thebase 110 during substantially the entire time that the patient is wearing the integrated analyte sensor and dataprocessing unit assembly 100 such that the insertion needle does not require separate handling by the patient. Moreover, as shown inFIG. 1A , the dome shapedsensor introducer mechanism 140 is configured in one embodiment to substantially seal the area on thebase 110 where analyte sensor insertion takes place. In this manner, in one embodiment, thesensor introducer mechanism 140 is configured to protect the sensor insertion site from contaminates or any undesirable material such as, for example, moisture. - In this manner, in one embodiment of the present invention, simplified and accurate method and system for analyte sensor insertion and the use of the data processing unit for analyte monitoring is provided. For example, a separate sensor insertion device is not necessary and thus the patient is not required to handle or dispose of a separate sensor insertion device. In addition, with the
analyte sensor 130 and thesensor introducer mechanism 140 as well as thedata processing unit 120 integrated on a single platform such as thebase 110, in one embodiment, the positioning and the subcutaneous placement of the analyte sensor is maintained within a predetermined displacement range such that accurate positioning is easily achieved. -
FIG. 1B is a side view of the integrated on-body analyte sensor and data processing unit whileFIG. 1C shows a bottom perspective view of the integrated on-body analyte sensor and data processing unit ofFIG. 1A in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 1B , in one embodiment, thebottom surface 110A of the base 110 as shown is provided with an adhesive material such as polyester or acrylic based adhesives or other suitable biocompatible material which provides substantial comfort when adhered to the skin of the patient while also providing secure positioning of the base 110 on the skin of the patient. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a top planar view of the integrated on-body analyte sensor and data processing unit without the analytesensor introducer mechanism 140, whileFIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of the integrated on-body analyte sensor and data processing unit ofFIG. 1A with the introducer activated in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 2 , it can be seen that in one embodiment, thedata processing unit 120 and theanalyte sensor 130 are disposed on the base 110 such that the electrical contacts between theanalyte sensor 130 and thedata processing unit 120 are established. - Thus, in one embodiment, advantageously, pre-configured contacts between the
analyte sensor 130 and thedata processing unit 120 may have at least some of the potential adverse results arising from when the electrical contacts are required to be made by the patient, for example. That is, in one embodiment, since the patient does not have to separately establish the electrical contacts between theanalyte sensor 130 and thedata processing unit 120, the potential for error in establishing electrical communication between theanalyte sensor 130 and thedata processing unit 120 is minimized. - Furthermore, referring back to
FIG. 3 , it can be seen that the profile of the integrated analyte sensor and dataprocessing unit assembly 100 is substantially low, and primarily determined by the size of the sensor introducer mechanism 140 (shown as deployed with dome shape of the sensor introducer mechanism in a depressed or deflected position). That is, in one embodiment, the height or the lateral projection of thesensor introducer mechanism 140 substantially corresponds to the desired or predetermined sensor depth in subcutaneous placement. -
FIG. 4 illustrates the analyte sensor and introducer mechanism of the integrated on-body analyte sensor and data processing unit, whileFIGS. 5A-5B illustrate a side view and a bottom perspective view, respectively of the analyte sensor and introducer mechanism shown inFIG. 4 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 4 , theanalyte sensor 130 positioned in the pre-deployment position in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention in thesensor introducer mechanism 140 is shown. As shown, thesensor introducer mechanism 140 in one embodiment includes atrigger portion 410 operatively coupled to theneedle portion 160. - As shown, in one embodiment, the
trigger portion 410 of thesensor introducer mechanism 140 is configured to displace theneedle portion 160 in a substantially skin-piercing direction, e.g., a substantially vertical direction relative to the patient's skin surface. In an alternate embodiment, theneedle portion 160 of thesensor introducer mechanism 140 may be configured for angled insertion of theanalyte sensor 130, such that activation of thesensor introducer mechanism 140 is configured in one embodiment to displace theneedle portion 160 so as to transcutaneously insert thesensor 130 at a predetermined angle relative to the surface of the patient's skin. Further, as shown in the Figures, theanalyte sensor 130 is provided in cooperation with theneedle portion 160 such that in one embodiment, when thetrigger portion 410 is activated by the patient, for example, by the application of downward pressure on the outer surface of the trigger portion (the outer surface of the “dome shaped” area), theneedle portion 160 is in turn configured to be driven in a substantially complimentary direction to the direction of the applied pressure, and further, displacing at least a portion of thesensor 130 with theneedle portion 160. In other words, theneedle portion 160 is configured in one embodiment to transcutaneously place a portion of thesensor 130 so that the portion of thesensor 130 is in fluid contact with the desired biological fluid (for example, interstitial fluid) of the patient. - Referring again to
FIGS. 4 and 5B , in one embodiment, aledge segment 420 is provided in thesensor introducer mechanism 140 so as to couple with theanalyte sensor 130. In one embodiment, theledge segment 420 is configured to push down upon theanalyte sensor 130 when thesensor introducer mechanism 140 is activated such that theledge segment 420 is configured to substantially displace theanalyte sensor 130 along with the movement of theneedle portion 160 of thesensor introducer mechanism 140. - Additional detailed description of the dome shaped introducer mechanism is provided in patent application Ser.
