摘要: In some embodiments, a sensor assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system is provided that includes (1) a sensor carrier having a sensor unit receiving area and an electronics receiving area, the electronics receiving area including a substrate; (2) a sensor unit having a sterilized region, the sterilized region including at least a portion of a sensor and an introducer; and (3) electronics for the continuous glucose monitoring system. The sensor unit is positioned within the sensor unit receiving area of the sensor carrier and the electronics are positioned on the substrate within the electronics receiving area of the sensor carrier so as to form a sensor assembly having the sensor electrically connected to the substrate of the electronics receiving area while maintaining sterilization of the sterilized region of the sensor unit. Numerous other aspects are provided.

摘要: An apparatus for inserting a continuous analyte monitoring transmitter that includes an outer member, an inner member configured to telescope relative to the outer member, a transmitter, a bias member, an insertion device, and a pivot member. Force is applied to press the outer member toward an insertion site over the duration of a stroke. During a first portion of the stroke, the pivot member cannot pivot and the motion of the outer member translates to the insertion device until the biosensor is inserted at the insertion site. Over a second portion of the stroke, the continued motion causes a first pivot window in the outer member to overlap with a second pivot window in the inner member, allowing the pivot member to pivot and retract the insertion device from the insertion site, leaving the implanted biosensor. Upon completion of the stroke, the position of the pivot member is locked into place by engaging a locking feature of the bias member with the second pivot window to prevent the insertion member from re-entering the insertion site.

摘要: A sensor apparatus for a continuous glucose monitoring system has a sensor housing that includes a first end having a sealing surface configured to seal against an introducer having an insertion shaft, a second end having a sealing surface configured to seal against an insertion shaft cover, and an insertion shaft opening having a width that allows the insertion shaft to travel there through and that extends between the first and second ends. The sensor housing may further include a sensor wire channel that extends between the insertion shaft opening and a sensor wire contact location in an outer surface of the sensor housing. The sensor wire channel and sensor wire contact location may be configured to receive a sensor that extends between the insertion shaft opening and the sensor wire contact location to allow the sensor to make electrical contact to system circuitry. Numerous other aspects are provided.

摘要: A coupling tool for coupling together an electronics unit and a base unit of a wearable device for continuous analyte monitoring includes a carrier comprising a receiving feature and a carrier retention device, the carrier retention device configured to retain an electronics unit adjacent the receiving feature. The coupling tool also includes an activator including: a first member at least partially receivable in the receiving feature and a contact member configured to release the electronics unit from the carrier retention device in response to movement of the activator relative to the carrier. The coupling tool is in a locked configuration when the carrier retention device is configured to retain the electronics unit, and the coupling tool is in an unlocked configuration when the carrier retention device is configured to release the electronics unit from the carrier retention device. Other embodiments and methods are also disclosed.

摘要: A test meter for analyzing a body fluid sample applied to a test strip includes an outer housing having an opening, an actuator, and a cartridge positioned adjacent the outer housing. The cartridge further includes a dispensing member connected to the actuator, a plurality of stacked test strips biased toward the dispensing member, and a cartridge outer housing that is adjacent at least a portion of the dispensing member. Each time the actuator is actuated, the dispensing member is rotated to cause movement of one test strip from the plurality of stacked test strips through the opening, and another test strip is biased toward the dispensing member.

摘要: A blood glucose monitor includes a can, a replaceable sensor cartridge that includes a frame, an upper spring disposed between the frame and the can, a case for housing the can and sealing the frame, a lower spring disposed between the can and the case, and a meter housing for sealing an upper portion of the frame. The can is capable of accepting the replaceable sensor cartridge. The frame of the removable cartridge has at least at least two walls defining a chamber for accepting a plurality of biosensors, and a bottom portion defining an opening and at least one sealing flange. The frame can further include a desiccant material capable of reducing humidity within the frame. The frame may be dimensioned such that an interference fit constrains the plurality of biosensors prior to inserting the frame within a blood glucose monitor.

摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus for diabetes management include a portable diabetes management system (DMS) device. The DMS device includes a processor, a data storage device, a touchscreen display, and wireless communications facilities. An interactive display screen configured to be displayed on the touchscreen display lists a selectable subset of a plurality of different detected patterns related to blood glucose measurement data received by the DMS device. The patterns are detected based on a plurality of algorithms executable on the processor. A subset of detected patterns is determined based upon a frequency with which the patterns are detected and a priority is assigned to the detected patterns. Numerous other aspects are provided.
