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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
20110054391 | ANALYTE SENSING AND RESPONSE SYSTEM - Electrochemical systems for measuring an analyte concentration, and correcting any surplus or deficiency in the measured concentration. More specifically, systems for measuring an analyte level in a fluid with an implantable sensor, processing the measurements with a front-loaded delivery algorithm having a fluid delivery period and a refractory period, and determining an appropriate fluid infusion rate in response to the measurements. | 03-03-2011 |
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 |
20120071817 | STABILIZED GLUCAGON SOLUTIONS AND USES THEREFOR - Stabilized glucagon solutions, methods of storing and using the stabilized glucagon solutions, and drug delivery devices containing the stabilized glucagon solutions. In some embodiments, the glucagon solutions may be alkaline, such as with a pH of at least about 9. The glucagon solutions may be resistant to aggregation of glucagon when the solutions are stored for a prolonged period, such as at least about three days, at room temperature and/or physiological temperature. | 03-22-2012 |
20120265042 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTION OF A SENSOR - A device and method for delivering a device such as a sensor or fluid transport structure or a fluid transport structure sensor combination into, for example, mammalian skin. Such a device allows a sensor to penetrate mammalian skin without the use of an introducer device such as a needle. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure includes a housing for attachment to mammalian skin including an exit port for receiving the distal end of a biosensor and an injection activation device including a mechanism for forcing the sensing device from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, with sufficiently high velocity to partially penetrate the mammalian skin. | 10-18-2012 |
