Continuous glucose monitoring systems generally include a sensor such as a subcutaneous analyte sensor, at least a portion of which is configured for fluid contact with biological fluid, for detecting analyte levels such as for example glucose or lactate levels, a transmitter (such as for example 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.
The transmitter may be mounted or adhered to the skin of a patient and also in signal communication with the sensor. Generally, the sensor is configured to detect the analyte of the patient over a predetermined period of time, and the transmitter is configured to transmit the detected analyte information over the predetermined period of time for further analysis. To initially deploy the sensor so that the sensor contacts and electrodes are in fluid contact with the patient's analyte fluids, a separate deployment mechanism such as a sensor inserter or introducer is used. Moreover, a separate base component or mounting unit is provided on the skin of the patient so that the transmitter unit may be mounted thereon, and also, to establish signal communication between the transmitter unit and the analyte sensor.
As discussed above, the base component or mounting unit is generally adhered to the skin of the patient using an adhesive layer that is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the base component or the mounting unit for the transmitter.
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. In addition to accurate positioning of the sensor through the skin of the patient, it is important to minimize the level of pain associated with the insertion of the sensor through the patient's skin.
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 unit securely mounted to the patient, and more importantly, in proper contact with the analyte sensor so as to minimize the potential errors in the monitored data. Indeed, when mounted onto the skin using adhesives, bodily fluid such as sweat and muscle flexure may weaken the adhesive securing the transmitter unit onto the skin surface, and which may potentially cause the transmitter unit to detach from the skin prematurely.
In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to have methods and apparatuses which would minimize the number of components that are needed for the patient to manipulate in order to deploy the sensor and the transmitter unit to properly be initialized and set-up so that the sensor may be configured to monitor a biological fluid to detect, for example, analyte levels of the patient and the transmitter unit may be configured to transmit data associated with the detected analyte levels of the patient. Further, it would be desirable to have methods and apparatuses that include an integrated sensor insertion mechanism and transmitter mount or housing portion which may be mounted on the patient's skin securely, with ease and relatively little pain to the patient.
In certain embodiments, there is provided a method and apparatus for providing an integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism. Embodiments may include a base portion (e.g., a flexible base portion) for securing the transmitter unit around a body part of the patient, such as the patient's arm or leg and including a detachable disposable sensor introducer providing a low profile integrated data monitoring system.
In this manner, in accordance with the various embodiments of the invention, there is provided an integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism that is configured for a multi-use disposable monitoring components for use in continuous glucose monitoring systems. More specifically, several components such as the transmitter unit, the sensor, sensor insertion mechanism (including, for example, a pre-assembled sensor, introducer and protective housing combination) and the skin mounting units are integrated into fewer components (two or less, for example), to simplify the use thereof and also to provide additional ease of use to the patients.
Moreover, an integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism of the subject invention may be configured to depart from the reliance upon an adhesive patch as the primary method of transmitter attachment to the patient so that the mounting of the transmitter to the patient is not substantially affected by the patient's bodily fluids, cosmetics, lotions, body hair, skin type/condition or any other factor that may potentially weaken the adhesive condition of an adhesive patch.

In the manner described above, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 is configured to depart from the reliance upon an adhesive patch as the primary method of transmitter attachment to the patient so that it is not substantially affected by the patient's bodily fluids, cosmetics, lotions, body hair, skin type/condition or any other factor that may potentially weaken the adhesive condition of the adhesive patch. Moreover, in one embodiment, the base material 101 of the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 may be formulated to provide some measure of moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to allow the patient's skin to breath or ventilate.
Referring back to
As will be described in further detail below, upon positioning the tip portion 203 of the introducer mechanism 205 substantially aligned with the sensor insertion position 107 on the base portion 101, the patient may depress upon the handle portion 206 of the introducer mechanism 205 so as to insert the analyte sensor transcutaneously such that at least a portion of the sensor is positioned to be in fluid contact with the patient's biological fluids, such as for example, interstitial fluids. Other manners of activating the introducer may be used within the scope of the present invention.
Thereafter, upon insertion and positioning the sensor, the handle portion 206 may be collapsed into the sensor casing 204, and the sensor casing 204 pivoted approximately 90 degrees substantially about the sensor insertion position 107, so as to collapse the sensor casing 204 onto the upper surface 201 of the base portion 101 of the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 including the sensor electrical contact surface. In this manner, a low profile, substantially thin sensor and transmitter combination may be provided to the patient to be worn for a predetermined period of time, while minimizing potential interference with the patient's daily physical activities and securely holding the transmitter in place on the patient.
More specifically, in one embodiment, after the patient applies pressure onto the handle portion 206 so as to deploy the sensor 301, the patient may retract or withdraw the introducer 205 from the deployed position, by retracting or pulling the handle portion 206 in the opposite direction of the sensor deployment direction. Alternatively, the introducer 205 may be provided with a spring bias mechanism or a similar mechanism which would allow the introducer 205 to be retracted substantially automatically after deployment of the sensor 301.
Referring back to
For example, it can be seen that given a substantially fixed length of the sensor tip 302, the greater the angle of the insertion (relative to the surface of the patient's skin), the deeper the position of the sensor tip 302 placed under the skin, and where the deepest position of subcutaneous placement of the sensor tip 302 is achieved substantially at about 90 degrees relative to the surface of the patient's skin, and as illustrated above in conjunction with the embodiment shown in
Additionally,
As discussed above, in accordance with the various embodiment of the present invention, the base portion 101 is placed on the patient such as around the patient's arm and secured in position using the securing mechanism, e.g., hook portion 102 and the loop portion 103. Within the scope of the present invention, other methods and devices for securing the base portion 101 may be used such as, for example, metal hooks, medical grade adhesive tape, elastic bands, or straps with buckles or any other equivalent methods or devices for securing the base portion 101 onto the patient.
The sensor casing 204 with the introducer 205 and the sensor 301, pre-assembled therein, may be placed on the base portion 101 so as to substantially align the introducer tip 203 with the sensor insertion position 107 of the base portion 101. While one sensor insertion position 107 is shown in the Figures, within the scope of the present invention, a plurality of sensor insertion positions may be provided on the upper surface 201 of the base portion 101. This would provide the additional convenience for the patients by providing several insertion site locations on the skin of the patient after the base portion 101 is substantially fixedly positioned on the patient's skin. Additionally, within the scope of the present invention, the base portion may be provided with a plurality of sensor insertion positions 107 such that the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 may be configured for use with multiple sensors either concurrently or sequentially.
In one aspect of the present invention, the transmitter electronics 105 may be configured to selectively shut off or disable the electronics at the sensor insertion positions after the sensor 301 is in use for the prescribed period of time (for example, about 1 day, about 3 days, about 5 days, about 7 days or more, e.g., about 30 days or more). In this manner, it is possible to provide the additional safety precaution by preventing continued used of the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 after a specified number of uses (corresponding to the number of the sensor insertion positions). This option may prevent the patients from multiple usage of the same sensor 301 rather than discarding after the initial usage, and also, for using the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 beyond the recommended periods of usage frequency. Additionally, within the scope of the present invention, the power supply 106 may be provided with a low capacitor disposable battery so as to limit the life of the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 once it has been activated.
In addition, within the scope of the present invention, the insertion process of the sensor 301 is described as performed manually by the patient. Alternatively, within the scope of the present invention, the insertion process of the sensor 301 may be configured with a semi-automated mechanism or a fully automated mechanism provided with an insertion trigger switch, for example. Moreover, within the scope of the present invention, angled insertion of the sensor 301 may be achieved by the design and orientation of the sensor casing 204 at the sensor insertion position 107.
Additionally, within the scope of the present invention, the physical dimensions of the sensor casing 204 and the orientation of the introducer 205 in cooperation with the sensor casing 204 may provide the desired sensor insertion depth, and also to control the ease of sensor deployment. Indeed, when the introducer 205 bottoms out at the sensor insertion position 107 within the sensor casing 204, the sensor depth or the below-the-skin position is determined to be reached, and thereafter, the introducer 205 may be safely discarded, for example, by detaching from the sensor casing 204 or substantially completely encasing within the sensor casing 204. Then, the sensor casing 204 may be rotatably pushed substantially about the sensor insertion position 107 so that it may be maintained in a locked position, thus holding the sensor 301 in place, and establishing electrical communication with the transmitter electronics 105 laminated, for example, within the base portion 101 of the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100. In one embodiment, the sensor casing 204 may be provided with a compressible seal around its perimeter to prevent moisture, particulate, and other foreign materials from contaminating the transmitter electronics 105 or potentially compromising the integrity of the electrical contacts and signal.
In this manner, the detected analyte levels from the sensor 301 may be provided to transmitter electronics 105, which is, in one embodiment, configured to wirelessly transmit data corresponding to the detected analyte levels from the sensor to a receiver unit via the antenna 104, where the receiver unit may include a glucose monitor unit and/or an insulin pump unit and/or a computer terminal, or any other electronic device capable of being configured for wireless (or other) communication. Within the scope of the present invention, the receiver unit functions may be integrated into portable electronic devices such as a watch, a pager, a mobile telephone, personal digital assistant, and the like. Additional information on the detection, monitoring and analysis of analyte levels are described in further detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,175,752 entitled “Analyte Monitoring Device and Methods of Use” the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
In a further embodiment, the transmitter electronics 105 may include a wireless communication unit for wireless transmission of the signal, where the wireless communication unit may include one or more of a radio frequency (RF) communication unit, a Bluetooth® communication unit, an infrared communication unit, an 801.11x communication unit, or a Zigbee® communication unit. Similarly, the receiver unit may be configured to support one more or of the above-referenced wireless communication protocols to communicate with the transmitter unit.
In this manner, within the scope of the present invention, there is provided an integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism that is configured for a multi-use disposable monitoring component for use in continuous glucose monitoring systems. More specifically, several components such as the transmitter unit, the sensor, sensor insertion mechanism (including, for example, a pre-assembled sensor, introducer and protective housing combination) and the skin mounting units are integrated into fewer components (two or less, for example), to simplify the use and also to provide additional ease of use to the patients.
Accordingly, within the scope of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the separate system components of the skin attachment system, sensor insertion and the transmitter unit along with the associated safety precautions, material costs, weight, packaging, handling, disposal, and attaching to the skin patch. Furthermore, a low profile integrated system may be provided that would substantially minimize potential interference with the patient's normal daily activities. In the embodiments described above, while the handle portion 206 (
Moreover, the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 may be configured to depart from the reliance upon an adhesive patch as the primary method of transmitter attachment to the patient so that it is not substantially affected by the patient's bodily fluids, cosmetics, lotions, body hair, skin type/condition or any other factor that may potentially weaken the adhesive condition of the adhesive patch. Moreover, in one embodiment, the base material 101 of the integrated transmitter unit and sensor insertion mechanism 100 may be formulated to provide some measure of moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to allow the patient's skin to breath or ventilate.
