Claims42
A system including an infusion device and an analyte monitoring unit, comprising:
- an infusion device;
- an on-body unit including a data transmission section, the on-body unit further coupled to the infusion device, the on-body unit configured to receive one or more signals corresponding to a respective one or more analyte levels, and further, the on-body unit configured to infuse a fluid received from the infusion device;
- and
- a receiver unit operatively coupled to the on-body unit, the receiver unit configured to receive data from the on-body unit, wherein the received data is associated with the analyte level.
A method of integrating analyte monitoring and fluid infusion, comprising:
- infusing a fluid at a predetermined delivery rate;
- detecting one or more analyte levels;
- transmitting one or more signals associated with the respective detected one or more analyte levels;
- and
- determining a modified delivery rate based on the transmitted one or more signals.
An apparatus including an analyte sensor and a fluid delivery channel, comprising:
- a fluid delivery unit having an inner wall and an outer wall;
- and
- a plurality of electrodes disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall of the fluid delivery unit;
- wherein a portion of the of the fluid delivery unit and a portion of the plurality of electrodes are subcutaneously positioned under a skin layer.
An apparatus including an analyte sensor and a fluid delivery channel, comprising:
- a first tubing having a first tubing channel;
- and
- a second tubing having a second tubing channel including a plurality of electrodes disposed within the second tubing channel;
- wherein at least a portion of the first tubing and at least a portion of the second tubing are subcutaneously positioned under a skin layer.
A system including an infusion device and an analyte monitoring unit, comprising:
- an infusion and monitoring device;
- an on-body unit including a data transmission section, the on-body unit further coupled to the infusion and monitoring device, the on-body unit configured to receive one or more signals corresponding to a respective one or more analyte levels, and further, the on-body unit configured to infuse a fluid received from the infusion and monitoring device;
- and
- a connector coupled at a first end to the infusion device, and further, coupled at a second end to the on-body unit, the connector configured to channel the fluid from the infusion device to the on-body unit, and further, configured to provide the one or more signals corresponding to the respective one or more analyte levels to the infusion and monitoring device.
A method of fluid delivery and analyte monitoring, comprising:
- determining a delivery profile for fluid infusion, wherein the delivery profile including a plurality of predetermined discrete fluid infusion each temporally separated by a predetermined time period;
- and
- sampling an analyte level substantially immediately prior to each predetermined discrete fluid infusion.
