Abstract
Systems and methods of use for continuous analyte measurement of a host's vascular system are provided. In some embodiments, a continuous glucose measurement system includes a vascular access device, a sensor and sensor electronics, the system being configured for insertion into communication with a host's circulatory system.
Claims20
A continuous analyte sensor system, comprising:
- a continuous analyte sensor configured for exposure to a circulatory system of a host and configured to generate a signal associated with an in vivo analyte concentration when the sensor is implanted in the host, and;
- sensor electronics configured to process the signal, wherein the sensor electronics comprise a fail-safe module configured to detect a malfunction of the system.
A method for processing continuous analyte sensor data, the method comprising:
- placing a continuous analyte sensor in fluid communication with a circulatory system of a host, wherein a sensor system comprises the sensor and sensor electronics, wherein the sensor is configured to generate a signal associated with an in vivo analyte concentration when the sensor is implanted in the host, and wherein the sensor electronics comprises a fail-safe module configured to detect a system malfunction;
- exposing the sensor to a sample from the host's circulatory system;
- and
- detecting a malfunction of the system.
