Abstract

A method and apparatus for monitoring blood glucose levels. In the preferred embodiment a glucose diffusion-limited fuel cell is implanted in a living body. The output current of the fuel cell is proportional to the glucose concentration of the body fluid electrolyte and is therefore directly indicative of the blood glucose level. This information is telemetered to an external receiver which generates an alarm signal whenever the fuel cell output current exceeds or falls below a predetermined current magnitude which represents a normal blood glucose level. Valve means are actuated in response to the telemetered information to supply glucose or insulin to the monitored living body.

It is important for the diabetic patient to maintain normal or near normal blood glucose levels throughout the day. These levels can be obtained through appropriate diets, insulin injections and exercise patterns. However, in order to avoid over or under compensation, it is desirable for the diabetic patient to know his blood glucose level in order to take appropriate compensatory action.
Unfortunately, at the present time, continuous blood glucose measurements can only be performed outside the body. Basically, such measurements involve the following operations: using a double lumen cannula, blood is continuously drainedfrom a vein, mixed with heparin solution and then sent to a dialyasis cell. The glucose which has been dialy zed out is allowed to react with the appropriate amount of reagent such as glucose oxidase, glucose oxidase-HVA-peroxidase mixture, or potassium ferricyanide. The glucose concentration is then obtained by either spectropolarimetry, fluoresence or colorimetry depending upon the reagent used. Blood glucose measurements using this system are obviously time consuming and inconvenient with respect to an ambulatory diabetic patient.
It is accordingly, a general object of the present invention to provide a glucose monitor and alarm system for the measurement and control of blood glucose levels of diabetics.
It is a specific object of the present invention to provide a compact, implantable, self-sustained sensortelemetering system which is capable of providing measurement of blood glucose concentrations.
It is another specific object of the invention to provide a system which releases no harmful materials and which utilizes no toxic chemical to interact with the blood glucose.
It is a feature of the invention that the implantable monitoring device requires only minimal electric power.
It is still another feature of the invention that the implantable device generates only small amounts of heat and consumes very little glucose and oxygen.
It is still another feature of the invention that the implantable device can be conveniently calibrated and recalibrated externally to guard against drift and aging.
It is still another feature of the invention that the implantable device is insensitive to fluctuations of body oxygen tension and pH values.
In the accomplishment of these objects the glucose monitor and alarm system of the present invention utilizes a sensor and telemetering system which is contained within a small chamber covered by a membrane into which body water and oxygen and glucose can freely diffuse. The body fluid within the chamber is in equilibration with the extra-cellular-extravascular' fluid which, is in turn, in nearly constant equilibration with blood in so far as glucose level is concerned. Inside the chamber is a fuel cell comprising two platinum black electrodes (or other catalyst-coated electrodes) using glucose as a fuel and dissolved oxygen as the oxidizer. The fuel cell is operated in an essentially glucose diffusion-limited mode so that the output current of the fuel cell is proportional to the glucose concentration of the body fluid and is, therefore, directly indicative of the blood glucose level. This information is then telemetered to a compact receiver located externally to the body.
The glucose monitor can be implanted directly in the living body to be monitored by the system or, alternatively, can be subcutaneously positioned in the body by means of a hypodermic needle. The system can also be employed as an external monitoring and alarm system.
These objects and features and other objects and features of the present invention will best be understood from a detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, selected for purposes of illustration, and shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view in partial block form showing the glucose diffusion-limited fuel cell and telemetering circuitry;
FIG. 2 is a polarization curve for a typical fuel cell;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the electrical circuitry of the blood glucose monitoring system; and,
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view in partial block form showing the alarm and control circuitry and the equipment for maintaining a predetermined blood glucose level in a living body.
The present invention utilizes an implantable fuel cell, indicated generally by the reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1 to obtain an electrical indication of the blood glucose level in a living body. Before discussing the fuel cell 10 in detail, it will be helpful to briefly review the characteristics of a fuel cell with special emphasis on the requirements for an in vivo fuel cell.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device composed of a nonconsumable anode and cathode, an electrolyte, and suitable arrangements and controls for maintaining selective environments for a fuel anode and an oxidant cathode. Fundamentally, any oxidation-reduction reaction is a fuel cell candidate; the practicality, however, depends primarily on the reaction rate. The most efficient and highly refined fuel cell system known to date is the human body which uses enzymes to catalyze the oxidation of food (fuel) in an electrolyte (body or cell fluid), producing energy-some of which is electrical. By providing different kinds of active catalysts such as platinum, palladium and nickel, certain carbohydrates (glucose, for instance), plentiful in the human body, which contain aldehyde (or similar groups) can be activated at low temperatures in a fuel cell to generate electricity. A metallic catalyst impregnated on the electrode surface will promote the reaction of glucose with water, absorbing electrons and releasing hydrogen ions. This fuel rich electrode constitutes, therefore, the anode of the fuel cell. If, in addition, an identical catalyst-coated electrode supplied with oxygen is introduced into the same electrolyte solution, OH ions will be released and a potential difference can be detected across these electrodes. The latter oxygen rich electrode is naturally the cathode of the fuel cell, and the generated voltage is essentially a constant, characteristic of the fuel used, while the current flowing in leads connecting the electrodes is closely related to the fuel concentration near the anode. Based on this principle, an implanted fuel cell can be considered for the measurement of glucose level of body fluid or blood.
However, simply implanting two catalyst-coated electrodes into the body will not yield any electrical output due to the lack of asymmetry. Provision must be made for alteration of conditions near the electrodes and this can be accomplished by placing the electrodes at different locations within the body to achieve a selective electrode environment. Although electrical energy can thus be obtained, such a system cannot be used to measure glucose concentration. The transport of ions within the porous electrode and electrolyte, will be rate limiting, and the internal cell resistance will be high. The present invention eliminates this problem by utilizing a fuel cell in which the electrical output of the fuel cell is glucose diffusion-limited.
The basic construction of the glucose fuel cell sensor and its associated circuitry are shown in FIG. 1. The fuel cell 10 is principally a controlled-diffusion device which employs artificial membranes and coating materials of varying thickness and characteristics to vary the diffusion rate of glucose relative to that of oxygen on the basis of molecular size, mobility, or solubility in the membrane and coating materials.
The fuel cell 10 and its associated microcircuitry 12 are encased in an external membrane 14 constructed of newly-developed inert high dialysis rate membrane ma terials (such as those developed by Union Carbide, GE, and DuPont) which permit free transmission of oxygen, glucose and similar size compounds but impede the diffusion of large, more complex macromolecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, cholesterols, etc. The membrane 14 defines a chamber 16 within which are positioned two spaced transition metal catalyst coated electrodes 18 and 20 that comprise an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, respectively. The anodic and cathodic reactions are:
C H O (Glucose)+H O L, C H, O (Gluconic acid )+2H +2e (Anodic) (l) and /2 O2+H2O+2 vZOH (Cathodic) (2) and the overall reaction is /2 Oz +C6H|2O6 C6H|207 (Overall) (3) The cathode which has a larger surface area is covered with a thin layer of an artificial membrane 22 which allows free passage of water, oxygen, etc., but strongly resists the diffusion of glucose so that it serves as an oxygen electrode. The smaller anode 18 is covered with a relatively thick layer of porous plastic material 24 which impedes the diffusion ofglucose and protects the catalyst(platinum) from poisoning and from the physical, chemical, and biological harassment of the body. The body fluid within the membrane encased chamber 16 constitutes an electrolyte 26 for the fuel cell. Alternatively, an anion, a cation exchange membrane, or a combination of the two ion exchange membranes can be interposed directly between the fuel and the oxygen electrodes to serve as a solid electrolyte as well as a partition for the fuel and the oxygen half cells. When both ion exchange membranes are simultaneously displayed in parallel, cell performance is generally improved, noise and signal drift reduced, and problems associated with water accumulation or starvation in the oxygen half cell can be avoided.
Preferably, a platinized anode is used which catalyzes the dehydrogenation of the aldehyde group of the glucose molecules that have diffused through the anode coating 24 and impinged upon the platinum surface. This electrode is therefore the glucose or the fuel electrode. Because the cathode or oxygen electrode 20 is larger, and because oxygen is lighter and smaller and therefore has a larger diffusion coefficient, and further because the diffusion of glucose to the anode is impeded, the rate of oxygen molecules arriving at the cathode can be arranged in such a way that it is always larger than the rate of glucose impingement on the anode surface. As a result, the current that can be drawn from the fuel cell 10 is proportional to the diffusion or arrival rate of glucose molecules and hence to the concentration of glucose in the body fluid, and, in turn, to the concentration of glucose in blood.
To ensure a glucose diffusion-limited fuel cell, an
ample supply of oxygen must be maintained and the following condition must be satisfied at all times and at all possible glucose levels: (D N A /S (2/2 (D N A /ti 4 where Q is the effective steric factor of the anodic reaction, A01 is the area of electrode a N the number density of species B in the body fluid, D the diffusion coefficient for transport of species 8 through the surface layer of electrode a and 8a, the thickness of surface layer of electrode a. Subscripts a, c, g, and 0 pertain to the anode 18, the cathode 20 and the glucose and oxygen, respectively.
The standard open circuit voltage of the glucose fuel cell is approximately 0.85 volt and it is a constant, essentially characteristic of the overall reaction expressed by Eq. (3). This voltage can be evaluated based on known electrochemical constants and is approximately equal to the sum of the theoretical E.M.F. of the participating anodic and cathodic reactions. The electrodes must be arranged in close proximity to one another so that the diffusion of electrode ionic products H+ and OH is not the rate limiting process in the generation of electrical power.
The terminal voltage of a fuel cell depends on its current, and a typical voltage versus current commonly referred to as the polarization curve is given in FIG. 2. Since the glucose concentration is only proportional to the output current that can be sustained by the fuel cell, load resistance 28 must be very small so that the current will correspond to the value at the tail of the polarization curve (i.e., in the concentration polarization regime). Typically the resistance of load resistor 28 is in the range ofO to 10 ohms.
Although a platinum black anode is preferred for use in the glucose fuel cell 10, other Group VIII transition metals can also function satisfactorily as fuel (glucose) electrode catalysts. These metals (palladium, nickel, platinum) are active catalysts for heterogeneous hydrogenation-dehydrogenation reactions. Their catalytic properties can be explained by their electron receiving capacity and by the fact that they are capable of forming covalent bonds with fuels through the metal d-band during the electrode reaction. This also explains why nontransition group metals, whose d-orbitals are completely filled, are not catalytic. The limited catalytic activity of the metals other than Group Vll, notably the Group I metals (gold, silver, copper, etc.) is attributed to a d-s promotion that gives then d-orbital vacancies.
While the selection of (anodic) fuel electrode catalysts is relatively limited, the choice for (cathodic) oxygen electrode catalysts is considerably broader. In contrast to their performance as fuel catalysts, the Group I metals to their oxides are at least as active oxygen catalysts as the Group VIII metals, except perhaps that the path of oxygen reduction is different. The reduction has been postulated as yielding (I) hydroxyl ions (Eq. 2) or (2) perhydroxyl ion and a hydroxyl ion, O2+H20+2e O2H l'OH (5) It has been established through chronopotentiometric studies that the reduction on platinum proceeds according to Eq. (2) in both acid and alkaline electrolytes. For this reason, the use of platinum as oxygen electrode catalysts is favored for more efficient utilization of oxygen.
Finally, it is important to note that it may be more advantageous to employ metals (or metal oxides) such as gold, silver, etc. as the cathode (oxygen electrode) catlayst to achieve asymmetry which is indispensible for generation of electric output. These materials are good oxygen electrode catalysts but poor glucose catalysts (relative to platinum, palladium and nickel). The necessary asymmetry or electrode selectivity can be I achieved through one or all of the following schemes:
(1) differential electrode area; (2) control of diffusion rates by different surface coatings; (3) dissimilar electrode materials.
Although the open circuit equilibrium cell potential is insensitive to the glucose concentration, the rate of charging generally varies with the glucose level. Hence, by periodically discharging the cell. the glucose concentration, can alternavitely be determined by measur ing the rate of potential rise. Other modes of operation ofthe fuel cell sensor include measurements of temperature rise due to glucose oxidation, the change in pH value as a result of the formation of gluconic acid, and the reduction of oxygen tension as a result of 0 consumption, which may be caused by catalytic action of electrodes.
The implantable glucose monitor requires nonautogenous materials for long-time subdermal contact with the human body. These materials must, therefore, be non-antagonistic to the environment into which they are placed. Recent advances in biomaterials research, motivated by the development of artificial kidney, lung, heart and other organs, have resulted in a number of new materials whose biological compatibility has clearly been demonstrated. These include Silastic", silicone rubbers, Teflon, polyethylene, cellulose, semipermeable hollow fibers, collagcns and etc. Since these materials can generally be synthesized into different forms with different porosity and selectivity, they are ideally suited for the present invention.
The output current from the fuel cell is amplified by a current amplifier 30 which has a low input impedance and therefore measures the short circuit current which is proportional to the glucose diffusion rate, which is in turn, proportional to the blood glucose concentration. The amplified output current is converted to a frequency by a current-to-frequency converter 32. The blood glucose level information now in frequency form, is transmitted by transmitter 34 to an external receiver 36.
The detailed circuitry employed in the implantable glucose sensor-monitor alarm system is shown in FIG. 3. Looking at FIG. 3, the output current from fuel cell glucose detector 10 is applied to the current amplifier 30. The amplified current output from amplifier 30 is used to charge a small integrating capacitor 38 to much higher voltages than normally are obtainable from the glucose cell sensor 10. The integrating capacitor 38 together with a low-power electronic device, such as a unijunction transistor 40 is used to provide short pulses in the range of l kilohertz. Since the unijunction transistor draws power only when it is switching, the power requirements for this circuit are quite low.
The frequency of oscillation of the UJT is directly proportional to the current from the glucose fuel cell sensor 10. By the use of a current-to-frequency converter technique, the blood glucose level information can be processed to a form which is much more readily transmitted to the external receiver 36. The output pulses of the UJT oscillator 40 are used to trigger a silicon control rectifier switch 42 to drive a resonant LC network 44 which is tuned to about 1 megahertz. The shock excited resonant circuit 44 generates bursts of l megahertz rf energy at a repetition rate of about 1 kilohertz. The output from the shock excited circuit 44 is directly coupled to an rf radiating plate 46.
The use of the I megahertz carrier extends the transmitting range outside of the body and it also simplifies the receiver tuning to reduce spurious signals. The repetition rate of the rf carrier contains the information with respect to the glucose concentration. The use of brief bursts of rf energy with a low duty cycle of about 10 percent or less reduces the average power requirements of the rf transmitter with a concommitant reduction in the required battery size or an extension of the battery life.
In its preferred form, the telemetering system of the present invention utilizes pulse-code modulation. However, it should be understood that the PCM mode is merely illustrative and that the other modulation modes can be employed to telemeter the blood glucose level information to an external receiver.
The repetition rate at normal glucose levels is chosen to be approximately I kilohertz with provision for a dynamic operating range of a factor :10. In this way, the UJT oscillator 40 is able to operate from hertz up to 10 kilohertz with a nominal value of I kilohertz. These parameters permit telemetering of information about the glucose condition from a value of 1/10 the normal to 10 times the normal level.
The telemetering accuracy of this system is quite high. Under a worst case situation corresponding to 100 hertz, the reception of the signal for I second will be sufficient to give a reading with an accuracy of i1 count corresponding to an accuracy of il%. The accuracy of the system at higher repetition rates is obviously much greater and is far greater than one really needs for the overall system. This provides a satisfactory margin of reserve while at the same time keeping the electronic system reliable and compact.
Since the glucose fuel cell 10 and associated telemetering components shown in FIG. 3 are implanted in the body, it is desirable to provide external adjustment of the electronics within the telemetering system without requiring surgical techniques. This can be accomplished by the inclusion of a tiny adjustable potentiometer 48 to which is attached a small magnetic bar 50 which can be readily rotated by means of a permanent magnet (not shown) located outside of the body. By properly positioning the external permanent magnet and rotating it the required number of turns, it will be possible to adjust the multi-turn potentiometer 48 to change the calibration set points of the telemetering system. This can be done most conveniently in the gaincontrol portion of the current amplifier 30 as shown in FIG. 3.
A variety of options are available with respect to supplying power to the electronic portion of the glucose monitoring system. Referring to FIG. 3, power can be obtained from an internal battery 52. If desired, provision can be made for external recharging of the implanted battery by means of magnetic coupling through the skin. If this mode of operation is employed, a magnetically powered battery recharger, indicated generally by the reference numeral 54, is included within the implanted glucose monitor. Power for the battery recharger 54 is provided by magnetic coupling from an external electromagnet 56.
In the basic mode of operation where the current from the fuel cell sensor 10 is amplified by current amplifier 30, converted to a frequency by a UJT oscillator 40 and used to shock-excite a resonant LC circuit 44, the average power of the electronics is quite low in comparison to the peak rf power transmitted by the internal shock-excited oscillator. This is because the energy stored within a capacitor is periodically dumped into the shock-excited LC circuit 44 and flows for only a short time (on the order of 10 or 20 microseconds). The duty cycle of this oscillator is low so that the average power is quite small compared to the peak power transmitted.
Assuming that the rf radiating plate 46 and the receiver 36 (FIG. 4) normally will be separated by approximately lO feet and that the normal range of a transmitter at milliwatt power levels is approximately l feet, it can be seen that the shock-excited oscillator 44 will have the desired 10 foot radiation range while requiring peak powers on the order of 10 milliwatts or average powers on the order of 1 milliwatt-even allowing for relatively low efficiency in a shock-excited oscillator. Since the power requirements of a unijunction oscillator are negligble except during short periods of time when it acts as a current switch transferring the charge in the capacitor to the resonant LC network, the main power requirement for the system will be from the current amplifier 30. Using off-the-shelf integrated circuits, the current amplifier can be designed to have an average power requirement of about 5 milliwatts. It will, therefore, be appreciated that the information gathering, processing and transmitting electronics of the glucose monitoring system will require an average power of about milliwatts, taking into account the appropriate duty cycles and a continuous transmission of the one kilohertz modulated carrier wave.
Further reduction in the average power requirements can be obtained by providing intermittent telemetering of the glucose level information. This is accomplished by including a relatively simple uni-junction, lowpowered clock oscillator, indicated generally by the reference numeral 58. The clock oscillator circuit comprises a minute UJT clock 60, a 5 second clock 62, a normally OFF flip-flop 64 and a FET switch 66. The clock oscillator turns on the measuring, amplifying and telemetering circuits once every 15 minutes. lfthe telemetering system is turned on for a period of approximately 5 seconds during each 15 minute interval, this corresponds to a duty cycle of one part in 180 and the average power requirement is reduced by a factor 180. Although there will be some minor increases in the power requirements due to the additional electronics, even if this doubled the average power requirements for the electronics, the overall savings will be at least a factor of 90, which is almost IOO-fold reduction of power requirements or a IOO-fold extension of the life of the battery 52, assuming that the shelf life of the battery is not the basic constraint.
Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to provide a manual override control for the clock oscillator 58. This can be accomplished by providing a mag netically actuated reed relay 68 which bypasses the 15 minute UJT clock 60 and actuates the normally OFF control flip-flop. When FF 64 is in the ON condition, the output thereof biases FET switch 66 into conduction thereby applying power from battery 52 to the power bus 70.
Looking now at FIG. 4, there is shown in diagrammatic and partial block form the external portion of the glucose monitoring-alarm system of the present invention. The radio frequency energy radiated by the implanted radiation plate 46 (FIG. 3) is received by the external receiver 36. The modulation frequency is extracted from modulated rf carrier by extractor 72 and converted to a voltage by converter 74. The output voltage from converter 74 represents the blood glucose level in the monitored living body. This voltage is then inputted to a voltage comparator 76 which compares the blood glucose level input voltage with a voltage or a range of voltages which represent a normal or desired blood glucose concentration.
In the preferred embodiment, two adjustable voltage reference levels 78 and 80 also are inputted to the voltage comparator. These two reference voltages define the acceptable range for the voltage output from the comparator 76. If the output voltage from the frequency-to-voltage converter (which represents the blood glucose concentration in the monitored living body) falls within the range of voltages defined by the two reference levels, no output is generated by the voltage comparator. Normally, the two voltage reference levels .are selected to correspond to the points at which glucose or insulin must be supplied to the monitored living body in order to maintain a normal blood glucose level. For purposes of illustration, the relative voltage levels can be considered only in terms of positive voltages with the glucose voltage level being the most positive. Therefore, it can be seen that if the output voltage from the frequency-to-voltage converter 74 exceeds the glucose voltage reference level, the voltage comparator will produce a glucose output signal on lead 82. Conversely, if the voltage output from the converter falls below the insulin voltage reference level, the voltage comparator will produce an insulin output signal on lead 84. The output leads from voltage comparator are inputted to an OR circuit 86 which in turn is connected to a suitable alarm means 88. Various types of alarm means can be employed including visual, audible, and- /or a physical stimulus to the monitored living body. The alarm means will actuate whenever the output voltage from the frequency to-voltage converter falls outside of the normal range of voltages established by the glucose and insulin reference input voltages.
The glucose and insulin output signals from the voltage comparitor can be used to actuate corresponding electrically actuated fluid valves 90 and 92, respectively. These valves control, respectively, the flow of glucose and insulin from corresponding reservoirs 94 and 96 to the monitored living body, thus providing a fully closed loop system. Obviously, the insulin and the glucose reservoir and dispensing system can also be placed inside the living body with the amplified signal of the fuel cell glucose sensor feeding directly to the voltage comparator to actuate the appropriate fluid valves.
It is well known that in an electrochemical sensing device, the activity of the platinized surface will de grade in time, resulting in a decrease in sensitivity and reproducibility of the signal output. The electrode catalyst of the present glucose sensor can be rejuvenated to maintain its activity so as to eliminate or to reduce the frequency of recalibration after implanation. The rejuvenation is achieved by the use of a short duration cycle of negative and positive potential pulses to maintain a highly active, oxide-free fuel anode.
In the operation of the fuel cell glucose sensor, the platinum surface of the anode may slowly degrade by the external oxidation of the surface. These oxides inhibit the glucose oxidation reaction and decrease the available surface sites on the anode active toward the oxidation of the aldehyde glucose. Also, if oxides are present on the surface of the anode, a fraction of the glucose presented to the anode for oxidation will be consumed in the chemical reduction of the oxide fllm, so that the total amount of glucose present will not be sensed by the anode since no electrons are donated to the anode in the chemical oxide reduction process.
This problem is eliminated by frequently actuating the platinized electrode by an electrochemical pulsing technique such as described in US. Pat. No. 3,509,034, issued April 28, 1970 for PULSE-ACTIVATED PO- LAROGRAPHIC HYDROGEN DETECTOR. The anode is cycled from anodic to cathodic, going from oxygen evolution to hydrogen evolution, by means of a third biased electrode (not shown). The potential pulses are short-duration square waves generated at 20 second intervals. The anodic-cathodic polarization cycle is carried out about three times and is always terminated on the cathodic part of the cycle thereby reducing the platinum oxide surface to a highly active, disordered surface of platinum.
It will be appreciated from the preceding description that the glucose monitor and sensor of the present invention provides an accurate means for determining glucose levels in vivo, either by direct implantation or by subcutaneous insertions or in vitro.
