US 2021/0228154 A1 · STERILIZED REUSABLE WEARABLE DEVICES AND WEARABLE DEVICE FORMING METHODS IN CONTINUOUS ANALYTE MONITORING

Abstract

In one or more embodiments, a continuous analyte monitoring wearable device includes a disposable base unit having a power source and an analyte sensor, and a reusable transmitter unit that includes electronic circuitry configured to bias the analyte sensor, measure current through the analyte sensor, and may even compute analyte values based on measured current through the analyte sensor. The disposable base unit is configured to couple to the reusable transmitter unit and supply electrical power to the electronic circuitry of the reusable transmitter unit for continuous analyte monitoring. Numerous other embodiments are provided.

Dependent claims

A continuous analyte monitoring wearable device, comprising:

a base unit, comprising:
a base, at least one power source, and an analyte sensor assembly;
and
an encapsulation extending over the base and the at least one power source to form an encapsulated base, the encapsulated base including an attachment region configured to allow a reusable transmitter unit to be coupled to, and decoupled from, the encapsulated base,
wherein the encapsulated base, at least one power source, and the analyte sensor form a disposable unit, and the disposable unit is sterilized.
