Abstract
A method may include collecting at least one analyte from within a body, ejecting the collected at least one analyte from the body through at least one dermal layer of the body, and receiving the ejected at least one analyte outside the body. A system may include a means for collecting at least one analyte from within a body, a means for ejecting the collected at least one analyte from the body through at least one dermal layer of the body, and a means for receiving the ejected at least one analyte outside the body.
Claims23
A receiving device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a receiving port, coupled to said housing, configured for positioning external to at least one dermal layer of a body, and configured to receive at least one analyte which has been collected within said body and ejected through said at least one dermal layer of said body by a subdermal discharging device;
- and
- a locating device, coupled to said housing, configured to locate a fiducial on one of said body or said subdermal discharging device.
A receiving device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a receiving port, coupled to said housing, configured for positioning external to at least one dermal layer of a body, and configured to receive at least one analyte which has been collected within said body and ejected through said at least one dermal layer of said body by a subdermal discharging device;
- and
- a transmitter, coupled to said housing, wherein said transmitter is configured to transmit an ejection signal to said subdermal discharging device.
A receiving device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a receiving port, coupled to said housing, configured for positioning external to at least one dermal layer of a body, and configured to receive at least one analyte which has been collected within said body and ejected through said at least one dermal layer of said body by a subdermal discharging device;
- and
- a signal receiver, coupled to said housing, wherein said signal receiver is configured to receive a collected signal from said subdermal discharging device when said at least one analyte has been collected.
A receiving device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a receiving port, coupled to said housing, configured for positioning external to at least one dermal layer of a body, and configured to receive at least one analyte which has been collected within said body and ejected through said at least one dermal layer of said body by a subdermal discharging device;
- and
- a signal receiver, coupled to said housing, wherein said signal receiver is configured to receive a location signal from said subdermal discharging device enabling said subdermal discharging device to be located.
A receiving device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a receiving port, coupled to said housing, configured for positioning external to at least one dermal layer of a body, and configured to receive at least one analyte which has been collected within said body and ejected through said at least one dermal layer of said body by a subdermal discharging device;
- and
- a signal receiver, coupled to said housing, wherein said signal receiver is configured to receive a finished signal from said subdermal discharging device.
