Description
COMBLNED LANCET AND ELECTROCHEMICAL ANALYTE-TESTLNG APPARATUS
Field ofthe Invention
This application relates to an electrochemical apparatus for the detection of analytes, and particularly glucose, in blood or interstitial fluid.
Background ofthe Invention
Glucose monitoring is a fact of everyday life for diabetic individuals, and the accuracy of such monitoring can literally mean the difference between life and death. To accommodate a normal life style to the need for frequent monitoring of glucose levels, a number of glucose meters are now available which permit the individual to test the glucose level in a small amount of blood. Many of these meters detect glucose in a blood sample electrochemically, by detecting the oxidation of blood glucose using an enzyme such as glucose oxidase provided as part of a disposable, single-use electrode system. Examples of devices of this type are disclosed in European Patent No. 0 127 958, and US Patents Nos. 5,141,868, 5,286,362, 5,288,636, and 5,437,999 which are incorporated herein by reference.
To use these meters, the user pricks a finger or other body part to produce a small sample of blood or interstitial fluid which is then transferred to the disposable electrode system. This can cause problems, because ofthe need to take several measurements a day. The biggest drawback to routinely drawing small blood samples is the pain inflicted by the currently available lancets or finger-sticking devices. The most favored site of sampling is the rich capillary bed ofthe skin ofthe finger tip which readily yields a drop of blood from a small cut. The finger tip is also rich in pain receptors, and the pain is increased when the incision is too deep, or is too close to a recent incision, or is not deep enough requiring an additional incision. The pain maybe also be increased if the cutting blade penetrates slowly or is withdrawn slowly. Furthermore, the user may be forced to make a larger incision than is necessary in order to get a drop of blood to form for transfer to the measuring strip. Because of this, different designs for lancing devices have been proposed which are designed to facilitate use ofthe device and limit the pain
associated with the procedure. Examples of lancing devices are described in US Patents Nos. 4,924,879, 5,201,324, 5,318,584, 5,879,311, and 5,879,367 which are incorporated herein by reference.
International Patent Publication No. WO95/10223 describes a device for collection of interstitial fluid. The device can include a membrane on which sample is collected and dried. This membrane is then transferred to an external device for analysis. Each of these known devices for the electrochemical monitoring of glucose by a diabetic involves a two-step process, in which the skin is first pierced to obtain a sample and this sample is transferred to a sensor for analysis. This presents several drawbacks. First, the user must transfer blood into the detection apparatus which requires a measure of dexterity to align the drop of blood on the finger with the sample-receiving opening ofthe sensor or meter. Second, because of this transfer, the amount of blood or fluid extracted from the patient may be inappropriate for the sensor, either being too little to provide an accurate measurement or too much, which can increase the amount of pain associated with the procedure.
US Patent No. 4,637,403 discloses a self-contained device for lancing and testing blood glucose using colorimetry. US Patent No. 5,054,499 discloses a colorimetric device in which a lancet punctures an absorbent member which includes reagents for the colorimetric detection of glucose prior to puncturing the skin. US Patents Nos. 5,682,233 and 5,823,973 disclose a sampling device which is sized to allow it to be mated with a testmg apparatus for optical analysis of a sample. US Patent No. 5,746,217 discloses a lancet in which a capillary tube is used to capture sample, which is there analyzed by infrared spectroscopy in the capillary. US Patent No. 5,879,310 discloses a device in which a lancet punctures the skin and the sample resulting sample of body fluid is transported for analysis in an optical system.
US Patent No. 4,953,552 discloses a device for electrochemical glucose detection in which reagents for generating the electrochemical signal are coated directly onto the lancet, and thus come into contact with the sample without further user intervention. In this device, there is no spring action to drive the needle, and the needle is simply pressed in by the user. This makes control ofthe puncture difficult. Furthermore,
replacement ofthe lancet and reagent are inconvenient in the device as disclosed, and mass production of sensors would be difficult.
Thus, there remains room for improvement in the manner in which fluid samples are collected and analyzed.
Summary ofthe Invention
The present invention provides an improved apparatus for detection and quantitation of an electrochemically-detectable analyte, such as glucose, in blood or interstitial fluid. The apparatus comprises a meter unit, a lancet and an electrochemical sensor. Of these components, the meter is preferably reusable, while the lancet and the electrochemical sensor are preferably intended for single-use.
The meter unit comprises a housing, means disposed within the housing for engaging a lancet and moving an engaged lancet, a connector disposed within the housing for engaging an electrochemical sensor specific for the analyte and transmitting a signal indicative ofthe amount of analyte, and a display operatively-associated with a connector for displaying the amount ofthe analyte to user. The electrochemical sensor is adapted for detection of a particular analyte. In addition, the electrochemical sensor comprises an sample uptaking or accepting member for uptake of a sample of blood or interstitial fluid. In one embodiment ofthe invention, when a lancet is engaged in the apparatus, the means for engaging and moving the lancet moves the lancet from a initial position to a piercing position in which skin ofthe user is pierced and optionally back to a retracted position, which may be the same as or different from the initial position. The electrochemical sensor is disposed such that the sample uptaking or accepting member takes up a sample from the pierced skin ofthe user when it is pierced by the lancet. In an alternative embodiment, the lancet is a hollow cannula through which blood or interstitial fluid is transported from the puncture site to an absorbent portion ofthe electrochemical sensor. Thus, in either embodiment, the invention provides an apparatus with single-step operation in which sample acquisition and analysis occur as a result ofthe single action of pressing the apparatus against the users skin without necessitating movement ofthe housing. The invention further provides a method including a single step procedure in which both sample acquisition and analysis are achieved.
Another aspect ofthe invention relates to disposable sensor assemblies for use in a meter in accordance with the invention. Such disposable sensor assemblies may contain just the sensor in a support suitable for attachment to the meter or both the sensor and the lancet. In the latter case, the disposable sensor assembly may contain one sensor and one or more lancets, or it may contain a plurality of lancet/sensor pairs.

Detailed Description ofthe Invention
The apparatus ofthe present invention is an integrated lancing and analysis device which does not require a separate action for the transfer ofthe sample from the puncture site to a strip for analysis. This apparatus includes a meter unit, in which the electronics for analysis of a sample and display of a result are located, a cutting member (i.e, a lancet or hollow needle) and an electrochemical sensor. The electrochemical sensor includes an "sample uptakmg or accepting member" for the uptake of sample. As used in the specification and claims hereof, the term "sample uptaking or accepting member" encompasses various methods for achieving the direct transfer of a liquid sample from the sampling site to the electrochemical sensor, including but not limited to absorptive materials, such as a wick, sponge or absorptive pad, which take up liquid and cannula' s through which liquid is transferred. The uptake of liquid may be a result of inherent capillarity or surface tension forces resulting from the structure ofthe absorptive material or the size ofthe analysis chamber or cannula, or it may be an active absorption stimulated by application of suction. In fact, the term "sample uptaking or accepting member" should be understood to encompass any means that enables transfer of sample from the sample site to the electrode ofthe sensor. For example, the sample uptaking or accepting member could be the active portion ofthe sensor itself. The size or volume-uptaking capcity ofthe sample uptaking or accepting member would be influenced by the volume of sample to be analyzed, which would typically be on the order of 100 nl to 10 μl.
Fig. 1 shows an exterior view of an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention, although it will be appreciated that the overall shape ofthe device is a matter of design choice and is thus provided here solely for purposes of illustration. The device as shown allows for an easy grip by one hand, while providing good visibility ofthe display. In addition, it is easy to handle when sampling from alternative sites like the palm ofthe hand, the arm or the abdomen.
As shown, the device comprises a housing 1 of a size easily held in one hand. A display 2 is visible to the user on the outside ofthe housing 1. A skin-contact ring 3 is disposed at the sample end 4 ofthe device, while a button 8 for activating a sample/measurement cycle is disposed at the opposite end 6. Ejector slide 7 ejects used
lancets and electrochemical sensors when it is shifted towards the sample end 4, and is also used to lock the device. Optional button 5 is used to set the penetration depth ofthe lancet.
Figs. 2A-C show sectional views ofthe device of Fig 1 showing the internal mechanism for engaging and moving the lancet 20, the electronics 21 for transfer of an electrical signal from a sensor (not shown in Fig. 2) to the display 2. An electrical contact 22 is provided near the end ofthe housing 1 for making electrical contact with a sensor, and is connected to the electronics via a conductive element 23. The three figures illustrate the operation ofthe device. In Fig. 2A, the device is shown in a rest position, prior to sampling. There is no tension on the spring 20. Plunger 24 is attached to the lancet holder 29 and to a cocking button 27. The spring is attached to the lancet and bears on the lancet to allow both pushing out on the lancet from the cocked position and retraction ofthe lancet from a piercing position. Pores 28 allow air to move out ofthe space defined by a valve 26 and skin pressed against the skin-contact ring 3. The valve is a one-way valve which permits the flow of air from this space, but not into it. Catch 29 holds the cocking button 27 in place until released manually. To cock the device the cocking button 27 is pushed up to the catch 29, causing the lancet assembly and the valve to move upwards, compressing spring 20 as shown in Fig. 2B. The cocked device is then pressed against the skin and catch 29 is released. This results in the lancet assembly being driven downwards to puncture the skin as shown in Fig. 2C. During this downwards movement, pressure does not increase in the region between the plunger 24 and the skin because ofthe one-way valve 26. However, because the spring passes through its equilibrium position, there is a backwards motion ofthe lancet assembly after the skin is pierced and this motion results in the creation of reduced pressure in this region. •
An important feature ofthe device ofthe present invention which enables true one-step operation is use of an arrangement ofthe lancet and sensor to allow "in situ" sampling without movement ofthe apparatus. Figs. 3A-C show a schematic representation of one such arrangement. Fig. 3 A shows the device in a ready-to-use state. The lancet 31 is disposed within the housing 1 and is engaged with the means for moving the lancet (not shown). The sensor strip 32 is part of a sensor assembly 33 that includes
the skin-contact ring 3 and a collar 34 for coupling the assembly to the housing 1. The skin-contact ring 3 is pressed against the skin ofthe user, which causes an upwelling of tissue in the region surrounded by the skin-contact ring. When the device is activated, the lancet device 31 moves downward, piercing first the sensor 32 and then the skin as shown in Fig. 3B. The lancet 31 is then retracted, and blood or fluid flowing from the pierced skin wicks into the sensor. (Fig. 3C). The sensor may be designed such that the lancet pierces the sensor through a weak spot 98 (see Fig. 3D). This weak spot, which is an integral part ofthe sensor, may be the sample accepting uptake means.
According to an alternative embodiment ofthe invention, the lancet device pierces the skin without first piercing the sensor assembly. The sensor is designed to be placed in close proximity to the sample which is obtained by this piercing, so that transfer ofthe sample to the sensor occurs as part of a single-step sample acquisition and analysis process without movement ofthe housing. In such an embodiment, the sensor is positioned in relation to the cutting device, and therefore in relation to the position ofthe sample, such that the sample uptakmg or accepting means would be in close proximity to or touching the sample formed as a consequence ofthe cutting device piercing the skin, such that transfer ofthe sample to the sensor is enabled. The sample uptaking and accepting member could be an integral part ofthe sensor, for example as illustrated in Fig. 3D, or it could be an external part ofthe sensor, for example wick 97 as shown in Fig. 3E. The angle ofthe sensor with respect to the sample can be varied, and can be any angle which facilitates efficient sample transfer.
In the embodiment ofthe invention as shown in Figs. 3A-3C, the lancet 31 and the sensor assembly 33 are separate. The lancet used in this embodiment may be of conventional design compatible with the means for moving the lancet and the size ofthe housing. Various forms of lancets and associated means for moving the lancet are known in the art, including for example in US Patents Nos. 4,924,879; 5,196,025; 5,304,193 and 5,318,583 , which are incorporated herein by reference. The sensor assembly is a novel component adapted for use in the present invention, and itself forms an aspect ofthe invention. Fig. 4 shows a cross section in greater detail of an exemplary sensor assembly for electrochemical detection of an analyte. As shown, the sensor 32 has a reagent pad 41 disposed in approximate alignment with one edge ofthe opening 42 defined by the skin-
contact ring 3. The collar 34 has a lip 43 against which the housing 1 ofthe meter bears when the sensor assembly is attached to the meter. Electrical contacts 44 and 45 are accessible through an opening in the lip 43 . An insulating pad may be provided so that conductivity between the connectors only occurs in the vicinity ofthe reagent pad when a liquid sample is present. When the housing 1 ofthe meter is inserted in the sensor assembly, electrical contact is made via electrical contacts 44 and 45.
In the sensor assembly of Fig. 4, the sensor 32 is disposed adjacent to the skin-contact ring 3 and extends across one end ofthe open space 42 defined with the skin- contact ring. The sensor comprises reagents 41 and electrodes for generation of an electrochemical signal in response to the presence of analyte and an adsorptive member for absorbing fluid placed within the central opening ofthe ring and transporting the fluid into reactive proximity to the reagents, and an electrical contact for transmitting the electrochemical signal from the sensor. The reagents are selected to provide an electrochemical signal in response to the presence of analyte. In the case of glucose, suitable reagents would include an enzyme capable of oxidizing glucose (for example glucose oxidase), and a mediator compound which transfers electrons from the enzyme to the electrode resulting in a measurable current when glucose is present. Representative mediator compounds include ferricyanide, metallocene compounds such as ferrocene, quinones, phenazinium salts, redox indicator DCPIP, and imidazole-substituted osmium compounds. Working electrodes have been formulated using materials of this type in a number of ways. For example, mixtures of conductive carbon, glucose oxidase and a mediator have been formulated into a paste or ink and applied to a substrate. See, EP 0 127 958 and US 5,286,362 which are incorporated herein by reference.
Figs. 5A-C show the assembly of a specific embodiment of a sensor 32 for incorporation in a sensor assembly in accordance with the invention. Contacts 53 and leads 55 are formed on a non-conductive substrate 51. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 A, three set of contacts and three sets of leads are formed to create two working electrodes with reagents 52 and one reference electrode. The contacts and leads are suitably formed from conductive carbon inks, although other conductive materials may also be used. The electrodes may be formed by printing. Groups of sensors are suitably formed on a sheet of material and then cut apart for use.
The substrate 51 may advantageously be formed from a material which is sufficiently strong that the lancet will not pierce through the substrate material. This avoids contamination issues in the event of faulty lancet alignment. In this case, however, the substrate 51 needs to have an opening 54 or a weak spot through which the lancet can pass. Suitable materials for the substrate include polyester strips, high density polyethylene and ABS.
After the electrodes have been formed, a wick layer 56 is placed over the opening 54 and the electrodes, including the reagent pads 52 (Fig. 5B). This wick acts as an absorbent member to draw sample into the sensor and guide it to the electrodes. Suitable materials include nylon mesh. In some cases, however, no separate wick is necessary, as when the hole 54 in the substrate 51 inherently provides a capillary channel to the reagent pads 52 ofthe electrodes. Polymer film layers could also be used instead of or in combination with a wick to define a capillary channel for absorption ofthe sample to the electrodes. Over the wick (if present) and the electrodes a print of an insulation ink 57 is provided. The insulation ink holds the wick in place, and defines the path through which sample can migrate. Thus, the insulation ink includes an opening having a hole 571 in alignment with the hole 54 and a contiguous region 572 extending over the reagent pads 52 ofthe electrodes. Contacts 53 remain exposed outside the edges ofthe insulating ink print 57 for making contact with the meter. Optionally, a top cover can be added to protect the reactants. Such a top cover could be made form a polymeric film such as polyester.
The sensor of Figs. 5A-C may be assembled with a skin contact ring and collar as shown in the Fig. 4. Fig. 5D shows an alternative configuration. Sensor 32 is supported on a skin contact ring 3. A collar 534 is affixed to the edge ofthe skin contact ring 3 and sized to receive the distal end 535 ofthe meter unit. O-rings 536 provide a tight seal between the collar 534 and the distal end ofthe meter unit 535. A contact 522 on the distal end ofthe meter unit 535 makes electrical contact directly with the contact portions ofthe sensor (for example contacts 53 in Fig. 5 A).
Figs. 6A and 6 B show a schematic representation of an alternative embodiment ofthe invention. In this case, the lancet 61 is a hollow cannula disposed
adjacent to the sensor 62. The lancet 61 and the sensor 62 can be fabricated as a single unit which is loaded into a housing 1 for use. The housing desirably includes a skin- contact ring 3 which creates pressure to displace blood or interstitial fluid out of a puncture created by the lancet 61. When the device is activated, the lancet and the sensor are driven downwards as a unit to puncture the skin. (Fig. 6B) The sample is then drawn up through the lancet to the sensor. The dwell time in the piercing position is long enough to permit sufficient sample to be drawn into the sensor. Alternatively, the movement of the lancet may be in only one direction, with the entire device being moved away when sufficient sample has been collected. As discussed in more detail below, this latter option can be facilitated by the use of a device which provides an audible or other signal to the user when sufficient sample has been collected.
Fig. 6C shows an apparatus in accordance with the invention including a sensor assembly ofthe type shown in Figs. 6A and 6B. In this apparatus, the sensor 62 has an integral lancet 61, and is slidably received in a first housing portion 67. The distal end 3 ofthe first housing portion 67 is pressed against the skin ofthe user, causing the compression of spring 66 and the exposure ofthe lancet for piercing ofthe users skin. When the apparatus is removed from the skin, the spring 66 causes the first housing portion 67 to move outward, to once again shield the end ofthe lancet. The sensor 62 is in electrical contact with a contact 22 which in turn is in electrical contact with the electronics 21 via a connector 23. A vacuum plunger 24 is disposed within a second part ofthe housing 68 for creating a suction to draw in blood or fluid.
Fig. 7 shows a cross-section of an embodiment of a sensor assembly for use in the embodiment ofthe invention shown in Fig. 6. The assembly includes a collar portion 71 and a base portion 72. These portions can be made as a continuous piece of material or they may be made from separate pieces joined together, for example with an adhesive. A hollow lancet 73 passes through the base portion 72, such that the hollow interior 74 ofthe lancet is in contact with the sensor 75. The sensor may extend over a greater area than the collar portion, as shown, or a lip extending from the interior surface ofthe collar may be utilized to hold the sensor 75 in place. The second portion ofthe housing 68 may bear on this lip, or in the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 on an annular surface 79 surrounding the collar 71. Electrical contact is made through an opening in this
annular surface 79, for example via contacts 77, 78. Contacts 77, 78 may also be formed on the interior wall ofthe collar portion. The sensor 75 may have the same type of structure as shown in Fig. 5. Reagents may also be disposed directly on the lancet, or in a lancet lumen.
Figs. 8A-G shows a further embodiment ofthe invention. The device can operate manually (no automatic timing function) or perform a test procedure on demand from the meter. In the latter case, the meter housing 81 contains a plurality of lancet/sensor pairs and a timing mechanism for automatically using the pairs at predefined time intervals. The length ofthe pre-defined time interval is related to the number of lancet/sensor pairs and to the frequency with which testmg for the target analyte is desired. For example, in a device for testing for blood glucose, with twelve lancet/sensor pairs, the time interval is suitably between one and four hours. This results in a need to replace the lancet/sensors at reasonable intervals, for example twice a day, once a day, or once every other day. The timing can also be shorter, for example every minute, or can be selected using a logic circuit. Thus, for example, in the case of a rapidly changing glucose level (as determined by the difference between two successive measurements), the logic circuit in the meter may be configured to decrease the interval between subsequent measurements until such time as the glucose level stabilizes. The meter may also be configured to take several initial readings at short time intervals to determine a suitable baseline test interval based on the degree of variations in the results. This baseline test interval may be used for all subsequent measurements in the test cycle, or it may be shortened as described above in response to changes in glucose levels.
A suitable format for an embodiment ofthe invention in which the housing contains a plurality of lancet/sensor pairs is the watch-type format as shown in Figs. 8 A and 8B. The apparatus comprises the housing 81 and a strap 82. The housing has a bottom side 83, through which contact is made between the lancets and the skin ofthe user (shown in Fig. 8 A), and a top side 841 (shown in Fig. 8B) on which the test results are displayed. The device may be strapped like a watch around the wrist of a user, as shown in Fig. 8B, or about the forearm or upper arm. Once in place, the device is activated and a number of tests may be automatically performed without further action by the user and the result are displayed, individually or as a summary of a number of tests on the display.
Alternatively, the device or the sensor disk may be self-attaching (for example using a slάn-compatible adhesive). This provides utility on any body surface, and eliminates the need for a strap.
Figs. 8C-F show an exploded view ofthe component parts of an apparatus in accordance with this embodiment ofthe invention. Closest to the bottom side 83 ofthe apparatus is a sensor disk 84. The sensor disk 84 comprises a substrate 810 on which are formed a plurality of sensors 812. Each sensor includes a reagent pad 814 in contact with a pair of electrodes 816, 818. The sensor disk 84 has a central opening to allow the trigger mechanism (the spindle/ramp) to pass through. The sensor as a whole is bonded together with glue, ultrasonic welding or with snap-together fittings.
Above and coaxial with the sensor disk 84 is placed a spacer ring 85 (Fig. 8D). The spacer ring 85 provides a defined area surrounding each sensor 812, so that fluids contacting one sensor will not interact with adjacent sensors. Alternatively, the insulation print or capillary channels can provide this isolation. As shown, sensor ring 85 has a hub 820, a rim 822 and a plurality of spokes 824. The separator ring 85 is placed over the sensor disk 84 such that one sensor 812 is positioned in the space between each adjacent pair of spokes 824. The rim may include electrical contacts for conducting signal indicative ofthe amount of analyte from the electrodes 816, 818 of each sensor pair.
Over and coaxial with the separator ring 85 is placed a cam ring 86 (Fig. 8E). The cam ring has a ramp portion 830, such that rotation ofthe cam ring 85 results in an increase in the thickness ofthe cam ring 86 when viewed at a fixed location. The cam ring 86 has a central opening through which a screw or similar fastener is inserted to assemble the completed device. The opening preferably has a faceted or toothed edge, however, to allow engagement ofthe cam ring 86 with a drive mechanism for rotating the cam ring.
Over and coaxial with the cam ring 86 is a lancet ring 87. The lancet ring 87 has a rim 840 and a plurality of lancet spokes 842, each of which has a free center end. The lancet ring 87 is positioned such that each lancet spoke 842 is aligned with a space between the spokes 824 ofthe separator ring 85. The lancet spokes 842 are made of a flexible material with substantial memory such as spring steel. A lancet 844 is attached to each lancet spoke 842 near the center-end ofthe lancet spoke 842, oriented in a downward
direction so that the point ofthe lancet 844 is directed towards the sensor disk 84. The lancet spokes 842 are of a length such that they interact with the cam ring 86 lying beneath the lancet spokes. When the device is first assembled, one ofthe lancet spokes (arbitrarily referred to as the first lancet spoke) is substantially aligned with highest part ofthe ramp portion 830 and is thus deflected upwards from its neutral or rest position. When the cam ring 86 is rotated a partial turn, this first lancet spoke is moved off the end ofthe ramp and springs downward, piercing through the underlying sensor disk 84 and the skin ofthe user. At the same time, the "second" lancet spoke is moved into position at the highest part of the ramp portion 830, and each ofthe other lancet spokes is shifted to a position of increased deflection. Thus, each partial rotation ofthe cam ring 86 brings about one sampling and measurement activity.
Fig. 8 G shows a cross section of an assembled device incorporating a sensor system assembly ofthe type shown in Figs. 8A-F. Spacer ring 85 is received within an opening on the bottom of a housing 801. Sensor disk 84 is disposed exterior to the housing, and has a larger diameter than the spacer ring 85 such that it can make electrical contact with contacts 802 disposed on the bottom ofthe housing. A small motor 803, such as a stepper motor, is engaged with the cam ring 86 to rotate it with respect to the sensor assembly, thereby sequentially activating the lancets associated with the sensors. The motor 803 is controlled by electronics 804, which also receive signal from the contacts 802, process the signal and transmit instructions for an appropriate display to the display 805. A small vacuum pump 806 (for example a membrane pump or actuator pump) is also disposed within the housing 801 to create a suction which draws sample into the sensors. This pump may be on continuously, or it may be controlled by the electronics to be active for a period of time spanning the activation ofthe motor to rotate the cam ring. Alternatively, the vacuum pump could be activated prior to lancing, with a sufficient underpressure acting as a signal to start the lancing cycle.
The sensor disk 84 can be fabricated in much the same way as the sensor shown in Figs. 5A-C. Thus, as illustrated in Figs. 9A and B, contacts 91 are deposited around the periphery of a electrodes are deposited on substrate 92 in sets of three radially outwards from openings (or weak spots) 93. One ofthe electrodes in each set is a reference electrode, while the other two are working electrodes which include reagents
appropriate for generating a signal indicative ofthe amount ofthe target analyte. Next, a mesh strip 94 is applied over each opening 93 and each set of electrodes. Over the top of the mesh an insulation layer 95 is formed. Once the sensor disk is formed, it is assembled with the other components to form the complete device.
Fig. 9C provides a further view of such a device, which includes a skin contact ring 96 on the lower surface. The skin contact ring 96 surrounds an opening 97 through which the lancets 98 pass to pierce the skin ofthe user. This opening 96 moves with the rotation ofthe spindle 99, such that comes successively into alignment with each ofthe electrode sets. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 9C, the lancets are pre-tensioned by the spindle when the sensor assembly is put together. Slot 990 in the top ofthe spindle 99 allows the aligned lancet to drop through the spindle, to pierce the underlying skin. The upper case 901 ofthe assembly seals to the base portion 902 with an O-ring 903 seal. Electrical contact is made between this upper case 901 and contacts 91 via contact 904. This allow the analytical electronics to be located away from the sensor disk where they are not at risk of being exposed to fluid, and where they can be reused. Because ofthe sealing engagement ofthe upper case 901 with the base portion 902, the contact 904 also rotates and comes into contact with one electrode set at a time. In the case of a device "permanently" attached to the skin there would be as many skin-contact rings as there are sensors. Only the spindle moves, testing with a fresh lancet and a fresh sensor at a different sampling site each time.
Fig. 10 shows a schematic representation ofthe electronics which can incorporated in a device in accordance with the invention. As shown, input signals are provided from the sensors and from any included skin-contact or sufficient-sample detector systems to a signal processing system. These signals are transmitted via analog circuitry to a processor which performs data analysis. This processor provides a signal to display driver which is connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to an output display. The processor may also provide a signal via a wired or wireless connection to an alarm generator. The display and the alarm generator together constitute the output portion ofthe device. The data analysis processor also communicates with a memory device, for example an EEPROM, in which information including calibration information and previous results may be stored. A timer is also provided which is activated by the data
analysis software. This timer provides functional output signals to control a steeper motor (for rotating the sensor disk or spindle) and a vacuum generator (if present). Values from the timer may also be stored in the memory EEPROM for utilization by the data analysis processor.
The foregoing descriptions of various embodiments ofthe invention address show specific combinations of features. These descriptions and combinations should be viewed as merely exemplary, however, and do not exclude alternative implementations. For example, while the lancet ring 87 is shown with the free-ends ofthe lancets towards the center ofthe ring, it will be appreciated that an alternative geometry could be used in which the lancet ring has a star-like configuration in which the free-ends are pointed outwards. Similarly, the lancet ring could be pre-tensioned, in which case the cam ring would act to release rather than create tension. A further alternative is the use of a single actuating cam or hammer to activate the lancets, one-by-one, in turns, as they rotate through the position ofthe actuator. The devices of the present invention may incorporate a variety of additional features which enhance the characteristics ofthe device and make it easier to use. For example, the devices may include an audible or otherwise detectable alarm which alerts the user that it is time to take a measurement. In the case ofthe device shown in Fig. 1, this alarm would indicate to the user that they need to insert a new lancet and sensor (if not already done) and take a measurement. In the case of a device such as that shown in Figs 8 or 9, the alarm may actually precede the talcing of a sample, so that the user will not be surprised by the lancet and will know to look at the display to observe the result.
The device, particularly the device ofthe type shown in Fig. 1, may also or additionally include an audible or otherwise detectable alarm which alerts the user that sufficient sample has been collected, and that the device can be removed. An audible alarm could take the form of a click, caused by the release of a detent within the device, or might be a beep generated electronically in the device. One way to achieve sufficient- sample indication is to assume that a pre-defined period of time is sufficient to collect the sample. In this case, the first appearance of a signal between one ofthe working electrodes and the reference, or between the separate sample-monitoring pair of electrodes starts a timer and the sufficient-sample indication is given some pre-defined period of time
(for example 2 seconds) later. Sufficient sample may also be determined using an electrode pair having a spatial location and separation such that an electrical signal is only possible between the electrodes when sufficient sample is present. In either case, the signal which is collected can be any type of electronic signal, including signals based on conductivity, potential differences, or current flow (amperometric).
While the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 incorporates a skin-contact ring as a means to help with the expression of blood or fluid from the puncture, this skin-contact ring is optional, and can be replaced with other components such as a suction force generated by a mechanical or electrical pump for accomplishing the same function. A variable, user-selected vacuum force can be used to ensure sufficient bulging ofthe skin. A feedback mechanism tells the user that the skin made contact with the sensor. Two simple contacts bridged by the skin can achieve this. In an apparatus where the user is creating the vacuum (for example by drawing on a plunger), once the apparatus has detected the skin, the user is alerted, for example by an audible or visual signal that no more vacuum has to be created. In an automated apparatus, the pump mechanism can be shut down in response to this signal.
The device may include capacity for providing counseling to a user when abnormal readings are obtained for the analyte. Such counseling might be in the form of a prompt to call a physician, or might in appropriate cases instruct the user to administer medications. The audible signal can function as a hypoglycemic alarm, particularly in the multiple test embodiments. Such devices can also be used for overnight surveillance to alert the user or other concerned individual (for example a partner, parent or nurse) to changes in glucose levels.
The devices ofthe present invention offer a variety of advantages over existing devices for the measurement of glucose levels. To advantages flow directly from the incorporation of sampling and analysis functions in a single device. First, such devices require the user to perform fewer steps. Second, the user is not required to manipulate a small electrode into a slot in the meter. This allows for the utilization of smaller electrodes, which (as described in US Patent Application No. 09/228,855, which is incorporated herein by reference) are both less expensive to make and more accurate in providing glucose measurements. Moreover, for embodiments in which there are a
plurality of lancet/sensor pairs, the sampling site can be automatically varied throughout the course of a day, thus reducing injury resulting from repetitive punctures in the same location. The invention also allows the utilization of very small samples, which might otherwise be difficult to transfer to a sensor strip. This not only facilitates the taking of measurements with less pain, it can also provide for a more accurate result because ofthe benefits associated with small-sample measurements. In addition, the taking of a small sample which is optimally utilized by the device reduces or eliminates disposal issues for sample-contaminated waste.
