Abstract
An analyte sensor system including a substrate, a first electrode disposed on a first surface of the substrate, a second electrode disposed on a second surface of the substrate, a third electrode provided in electrical contact with at least one of the first or second electrodes, where at least a portion of the first electrode and the second electrode are subcutaneously positioned in a patient, and where the third electrode is substantially entirely positioned external to the patient, and corresponding methods are provided.
Claims19
An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- an analyte sensor configured to monitor an analyte level in interstitial fluid under a skin surface;
- and
- a transmitter unit operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and configured to receive one or more signals generated by the analyte sensor corresponding to the monitored analyte level, the transmitter unit including an external surface having one or more conductive points in electrical contact with the analyte sensor, wherein the one or more conductive points physically contacts the skin surface when the transmitter unit is operatively coupled to the analyte sensor.
The system of claim of 8, wherein the transmitter unit is configured to receive the generated one or more signals corresponding to the skin temperature.
An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- an analyte sensor configured to generate one or more signals corresponding to a monitored analyte level in interstitial fluid under a skin surface;
- a transmitter unit operatively coupled to the analyte sensor and configured to receive the generated one or more signals from the analyte sensor, the transmitter unit including an external surface having one or more conductive points in electrical contact with the transmitter unit, wherein the one or more conductive points physically contacts the skin surface when the transmitter unit is operatively coupled to the analyte sensor;
- and
- a receiver in signal communication with the transmitter unit and configured to receive data associated with the generated one or more signals corresponding to the monitored analyte level.
