Abstract
A sensor implant device can include a shunt body that forms a fluid conduit, a first anchor structure associated with a first axial end of the shunt body, a second anchor structure associated with a second axial end of the shunt body, and a first sensor device coupled to the first anchor structure, the first anchor structure being configured to hold the first sensor device in a sensing position over a channel area of the fluid conduit.

A sensor implant device comprising:
- a shunt body that forms a fluid conduit;
- a first anchor structure associated with a first axial end of the shunt body;
- a second anchor structure associated with a second axial end of the shunt body;
- and
- a first sensor device coupled to the first anchor structure, the first anchor structure being configured to hold the first sensor device in a sensing position over a channel area of the fluid conduit.

A sensor implant device comprising:
- a coil wireform comprising, in a deployed configuration:
- a body portion formed of a plurality of winds of coil of the coil wireform and having a first diameter;
- a first flange anchor portion emanating from a first axial end of the body portion and having a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter;
- a first sensor-support arm emanating from the first flange anchor portion and deflected radially over a channel area radially defined by the body portion, a distal portion of the first sensor-support arm including a sensor-retention means holding a first sensor device;
- and
- a second flange anchor portion emanating from a second axial end of the body portion.
