Definitions
- the present invention is, in general, directed to devices and methods for the in vivo monitoring of an analyte, such as glucose or lactate. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices and methods for the in vivo monitoring of an analyte using an electrochemical sensor to provide information to a patient about the level of the analyte.
- analyte such as glucose or lactate.
- the monitoring of the level of glucose of other analytes, such as lactate or oxygen, in certain individuals is vitally important to their health. High or low levels of glucose or other analytes may be have detrimental effects.
- the monitoring of glucose is particularly important to individuals with diabetes, as they must determine when insulin is needed to reduce glucose levels in their bodies or when additional glucose is needed to raise the level of glucose in their bodies.
- a conventional technique used by many diabetics for personally monitoring their blood glucose level includes the periodic drawing of blood, the application of that blood to a test strip, and the determination of the blood glucose level using calorimetric, electrochemical, or photometric detection. This technique does not permit continuous or automatic monitoring of glucose levels in the body, but typically must be performed manually on a periodic basis. Unfortunately, the consistency with which the level of glucose is checked varies widely among individuals. Many diabetics find the periodic testing inconvenient and they sometimes forget to test their glucose level or do not have time for a proper test. In addition, some individuals wish to avoid the pain associated with the test. These situations may result in hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic episodes.
- a variety of devices have been developed for continuous or automatic monitoring of analytes, such as glucose, in the blood stream or interstitial fluid.
- a number of these devices use electrochemical sensors which are directly implanted into a blood vessel or in the subcutaneous tissue of a patient.
- these devices are often difficult to reproducibly and inexpensively manufacture in large numbers.
- these devices are typically large, bulky, and/or inflexible, and many can not be used effectively outside of a controlled medical facility, such as a hospital or a doctor's office, unless the patient is restricted in his activities.
- Some devices include a sensor guide which rests on or near the skin of the patient and may be attached to the patient to hold the sensor in place.
- These sensor guides are typically bulky and do not allow for freedom of movement.
- the sensor guides or the sensors include cables or wires for connecting the sensor to other equipment to direct the signals from the sensors to an analyzer. The size of the sensor guides and presence of cables and wires hinders the convenient use of these devices for everyday applications. There is a need for a small, compact device that can operate the sensor and provide signals to an analyzer without substantially restricting the movements and activities of a patient.
- the patient's comfort and the range of activities that can be performed while the sensor is implanted are important considerations in designing extended-use sensors for continuous or automatic in vivo monitoring of the level of an analyte, such as glucose.
- an analyte such as glucose
- Continuous and/or automatic monitoring of the analyte can provide a warning to the patient when the level of the analyte is at or near a threshold level. For example, if glucose is the analyte, then the monitoring device might be configured to warn the patient of current or impending hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The patient can then take appropriate actions.
- the present invention relates to methods and devices for the continuous and/or automatic in vivo monitoring of the level of an analyte using a subcutaneously implantable sensor. Many of these devices are small and comfortable when used, thereby allowing a wide range of activities.
- One embodiment is a sensor control unit having a housing adapted for placement on skin. The housing is also adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor.
- the sensor control unit includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor.
- a transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor.
- the sensor control unit may also include a variety of optional components, such as, for example, adhesive for adhering to the skin, a mounting unit, a receiver, a processing circuit, a power supply (e.g., a battery), an alarm system, a data storage unit, a watchdog circuit, and a measurement circuit.
- optional components such as, for example, adhesive for adhering to the skin, a mounting unit, a receiver, a processing circuit, a power supply (e.g., a battery), an alarm system, a data storage unit, a watchdog circuit, and a measurement circuit.
- a power supply e.g., a battery
- an alarm system e.g., a battery
- data storage unit e.g., a data storage unit
- watchdog circuit e.g., a watchdog circuit
- measurement circuit e.g., a measurement circuit.
- Another embodiment of the invention is a sensor assembly that includes the sensor control unit described above.
- the sensor assembly also includes a sensor having at least one working electrode and at least one contact pad coupled to the working electrode or electrodes.
- the sensor may also include optional components, such as, for example, a counter electrode, a counter/reference electrode, a reference electrode, and a temperature probe. Other components and options for the sensor are described below.
- a further embodiment of the invention is an analyte monitoring system that includes the sensor control unit described above.
- the analyte monitoring system also includes a sensor that has at least one working electrode and at least one contact pad coupled to the working electrode or electrodes.
- the analyte monitoring system also includes a display unit that has a receiver for receiving data from the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of the level of an analyte.
- the display unit may optionally include a variety of components, such as, for example, a transmitter, an analyzer, a data storage unit, a watchdog circuit, an input device, a power supply, a clock, a lamp, a pager, a telephone interface, a computer interface, an alarm or alarm system, a radio, and a calibration unit. Further components and options for the display unit are described below.
- the analyte monitoring system or a component of the analyte monitoring system may optionally include a processor capable of determining a drug or treatment protocol and/or a drug delivery system.
- the insertion kit for inserting an electrochemical sensor into a patient.
- the insertion kit includes an inserter.
- a portion of the inserter has a sharp, rigid, planer structure adapted to support the sensor during insertion of the electrochemical sensor.
- the insertion kit also includes an insertion gun having a port configured to accept the electrochemical sensor and the inserter.
- the insertion gun has a driving mechanism for driving the inserter and electrochemical sensor into the patient, and a retraction mechanism for removing the inserter while leaving the sensor within the patient.
- Another embodiment is a method of using an electrochemical sensor.
- a mounting unit is adhered to skin of a patient.
- An insertion gun is aligned with a port on the mounting unit.
- the electrochemical sensor is disposed within the insertion gun and then the electrochemical sensor is inserted into the skin of the patient using the insertion gun.
- the insertion gun is removed and a housing of the sensor control unit is mounted on the mounting base.
- a plurality of conductive contacts disposed on the housing is coupled to a plurality of contact pads disposed on the electrochemical sensor to prepare the sensor for use.
- One embodiment of the invention is a method for detecting failures in an implanted analyte-responsive sensor.
- An analyte-responsive sensor is implanted into a patient.
- the analyte-responsive sensor includes N working electrodes, where N is an integer and is two or greater, and a common counter electrode. Signals generated at one of the N working electrodes and at the common counter electrode are then obtained and the sensor is determined to have failed if the signal from the common counter electrode is not N times the signal from one of the working electrodes, within a predetermined threshold limit.
- Yet another embodiment is a method of calibrating an electrochemical sensor having one or more working electrodes implanted in a patient.
- a signal is generated from each of the working electrodes.
- the signals from each of the one or more working electrodes should differ by less than a first threshold amount.
- the signals from each of the one or more working electrodes should be within a predetermined range.
- a rate of change of the signals from each of the one or more working electrodes should be less than a second threshold amount.
- a calibration value is found assaying a calibration sample of a patient's body fluid. The calibration value is then related to at least one of the signals from the one or more working electrodes if the conditions described above are met.
- a further embodiment is a method for monitoring a level of an analyte.
- a sensor is inserted into a skin of a patient and a sensor control unit is attached to the skin of the patient. Two or more conductive contacts on the sensor control unit are coupled to contact pads on the sensor. Then, using the sensor control unit, data is collected regarding a level of an analyte from signals generated by the sensor. The collected data is transmitted to a display unit and an indication of the level of the analyte is displayed on the display unit.

- the present invention is applicable to an analyte monitoring system using an implantable sensor for the in vivo determination of a concentration of an analyte, such as glucose or lactate, in a fluid.
- the sensor can be, for example, subcutaneously implanted in a patient for the continuous or periodic monitoring an analyte in a patient's interstitial fluid. This can then be used to infer the glucose level in the patient's bloodstream.
- Other in vivo analyte sensors can be made, according to the invention, for insertion into a vein, artery, or other portion of the body containing fluid.
- the analyte monitoring system is typically configured for monitoring the level of the analyte over a time period which may range from days to weeks or longer.
- a “counter electrode” refers to an electrode paired with the working electrode, through which passes a current equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the current passing through the working electrode.
- the term “counter electrode” is meant to include counter electrodes which also function as reference electrodes (i.e., a counter/reference electrode).
- An “electrochemical sensor” is a device configured to detect the presence and/or measure the level of an analyte in a sample via electrochemical oxidation and reduction reactions on the sensor. These reactions are transduced to an electrical signal that can be correlated to an amount, concentration, or level of an analyte in the sample.
- Electrolysis is the electrooxidation or electroreduction of a compound either directly at an electrode or via one or more electron transfer agents.
- a compound is “immobilized” on a surface when it is entrapped on or chemically bound to the surface.
- a “non-leachable” or “non-releasable” compound or a compound that is “non-leachably disposed” is meant to define a compound that is affixed on the sensor such that it does not substantially diffuse away from the working surface of the working electrode for the period in which the sensor is used (e.g., the period in which the sensor is implanted in a patient or measuring a sample).
- Components are “immobilized” within a sensor, for example, when the components are covalently, ionically, or coordinatively bound to constituents of the sensor and/or are entrapped in a polymeric or sol-gel matrix or membrane which precludes mobility.
- An “electron transfer agent” is a compound that carries electrons between the analyte and the working electrode, either directly, or in cooperation with other electron transfer agents.
- One example of an electron transfer agent is a redox mediator.
- a “working electrode” is an electrode at which the analyte (or a second compound whose level depends on the level of the analyte) is electrooxidized or electroreduced with or without the agency of an electron transfer agent.
- a “working surface” is that portion of the working electrode which is coated with or is accessible to the electron transfer agent and configured for exposure to an analyte-containing fluid.
- a “sensing layer” is a component of the sensor which includes constituents that facilitate the electrolysis of the analyte.
- the sensing layer may include constituents such as an electron transfer agent, a catalyst which catalyzes a reaction of the analyte to produce a response at the electrode, or both.
- the sensing layer is non-leachably disposed in proximity to or on the working electrode.
- a “non-corroding” conductive material includes non-metallic materials, such as carbon and conductive polymers.
- the analyte monitoring systems of the present invention can be utilized under a variety of conditions.
- the particular configuration of a sensor and other units used in the analyte monitoring system may depend on the use for which the analyte monitoring system is intended and the conditions under which the analyte monitoring system will operate.
- One embodiment of the analyte monitoring system includes a sensor configured for implantation into a patient or user.
- implantation of the sensor may be made in the arterial or venous systems for direct testing of analyte levels in blood.
- a sensor may be implanted in the interstitial tissue for determining the analyte level in interstitial fluid.
- This level may be correlated and/or converted to analyte levels in blood or other fluids.
- the site and depth of implantation may affect the particular shape, components, and configuration of the sensor.
- Subcutaneous implantation may be preferred, in some cases, to limit the depth of implantation of the sensor.

- the counter electrode 60 and/or reference electrode 62 may be formed on the substrate 50 or may be separate units.
- the counter electrode and/or reference electrode may be formed on a second substrate which is also implanted in the patient or, for some embodiments of the implantable sensors, the counter electrode and/or reference electrode may be placed on the skin of the patient with the working electrode or electrodes being implanted into the patient.
- the use of an on-the-skin counter and/or reference electrode with an implantable working electrode is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,593,852, incorporated herein by reference.
- the working electrode or electrodes 58 are formed using conductive traces 52 disposed on the substrate 50 .
- the counter electrode 60 and/or reference electrode 62 , as well as other optional portions of the sensor 42 , such as a temperature probe 66 (see FIG. 8), may also be formed using conductive traces 52 disposed on the substrate 50 .
- These conductive traces 52 may be formed over a smooth surface of the substrate 50 or within channels 54 formed by, for example, embossing, indenting or otherwise creating a depression in the substrate 50 .
- a sensing layer 64 (see FIGS. 3A and 3B) is often formed proximate to or on at least one of the working electrodes 58 to facilitate the electrochemical detection of the analyte and the determination of its level in the sample fluid, particularly if the analyte can not be electrolyzed at a desired rate and/or with a desired specificity on a bare electrode.
- the sensing layer 64 may include an electron transfer agent to transfer electrons directly or indirectly between the analyte and the working electrode 58 .

Each of these items enhances the functioning of and/or results from the sensor 42 , as discussed below.
- the substrate 50 may be formed using a variety of non-conducting materials, including, for example, polymeric or plastic materials and ceramic materials. Suitable materials for a particular sensor 42 may be determined, at least in part, based on the desired use of the sensor 42 and properties of the materials.
- the substrate is flexible.
- the sensor 42 may be made flexible (although rigid sensors may also be used for implantable sensors) to reduce pain to the patient and damage to the tissue caused by the implantation of and/or the wearing of the sensor 42 .
- a flexible substrate 50 often increases the patient's comfort and allows a wider range of activities.
- Suitable materials for a flexible substrate 50 include, for example, non-conducting plastic or polymeric materials and other non-conducting, flexible, deformable materials.
- thermoplastics such as polycarbonates, polyesters (e.g., MylarTM and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethanes, polyethers, polyamides, polyimides, or copolymers of these thermoplastics, such as PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate).
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- PETG glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate
- the sensors 42 are made using a relatively rigid substrate 50 to for example, provide structural support against bending or breaking.
- rigid materials that may be used as the substrate 50 include poorly conducting ceramics, such as aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide.
- One advantage of an implantable sensor 42 having a rigid substrate is that the sensor 42 may have a sharp point and/or a sharp edge to aid in implantation of a sensor 42 without an additional insertion device.

- the distal end 67 of the substrate 50 may have a relatively narrow width 53 .
- the narrow width 53 of the distal end 67 of the substrate 50 may facilitate the implantation of the sensor 42 . Often, the narrower the width of the sensor 42 , the less pain the patient will feel during implantation of the sensor and afterwards.
- a distal end 67 of the sensor 42 which is to be implanted into the patient has a width 53 of 2 mm or less, preferably 1 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or less. If the sensor 42 does not have regions of different widths, then the sensor 42 will typically have an overall width of, for example, 2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.25 mm, or less.

- wider or narrower sensors may be used in this and other in vivo applications.
- the thickness of the substrate 50 may be determined by the mechanical properties of the substrate material (e.g., the strength, modulus, and/or flexibility of the material), the desired use of the sensor 42 including stresses on the substrate 50 arising from that use, as well as the depth of any channels or indentations formed in the substrate 50 , as discussed below.
- the substrate 50 of a subcutaneously implantable sensor 42 for continuous or periodic monitoring of the level of an analyte while the patient engages in normal activities has a thickness of 50 to 500 ⁇ m and preferably 100 to 300 ⁇ m.
- thicker and thinner substrates 50 may be used, particularly in other types of in vivo sensors 42 .
- the length of the sensor 42 may have a wide range of values depending on a variety of factors. Factors which influence the length of an implantable sensor 42 may include the depth of implantation into the patient and the ability of the patient to manipulate a small flexible sensor 42 and make connections between the sensor 42 and the sensor control unit 44 .
- a subcutaneously implantable sensor 42 for the analyte monitor illustrated in FIG. 1 may have a length ranging from 0.3 to 5 cm, however, longer or shorter sensors may be used.
- the length of the narrow portion of the sensor 42 e.g., the portion which is subcutaneously inserted into the patient, if the sensor 42 has narrow and wide portions, is typically about 0.25 to 2 cm in length. However, longer and shorter portions may be used. All or only a part of this narrow portion may be subcutaneously implanted into the patient.
- the lengths of other implantable sensors 42 will vary depending, at least in part, on the portion of the patient into which the sensor 42 is to be implanted or inserted.
- At least one conductive trace 52 is formed on the substrate for use in constructing a working electrode 58 .
- other conductive traces 52 may be formed on the substrate 50 for use as electrodes (e.g., additional working electrodes, as well as counter, counter/reference, and/or reference electrodes) and other components, such as a temperature probe.
- the conductive traces 52 may extend most of the distance along a length 57 of the sensor 50 , as illustrated in FIG. 2, although this is not necessary.
- the placement of the conductive traces 52 may depend on the particular configuration of the analyte monitoring system (e.g., the placement of control unit contacts and/or the sample chamber in relation to the sensor 42 ).
- the conductive traces typically extend close to the tip of the sensor 42 to minimize the amount of the sensor that must be implanted.
- the conductive traces 52 may be formed on the substrate 50 by a variety of techniques, including, for example, photolithography, screen printing, or other impact or non-impact printing techniques.
- the conductive traces 52 may also be formed by carbonizing conductive traces 52 in an organic (e.g., polymeric or plastic) substrate 50 using a laser.
- a description of some exemplary methods for forming the sensor 42 is provided in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/034,422, incorporated herein by reference.
- Another method for disposing the conductive traces 52 on the substrate 50 includes the formation of recessed channels 54 in one or more surfaces of the substrate 50 and the subsequent filling of these recessed channels 54 with a conductive material 56 , as shown in FIG. 3A.
- the recessed channels 54 may be formed by indenting, embossing, or otherwise creating a depression in the surface of the substrate 50 .
- Exemplary methods for forming channels and electrodes in a surface of a substrate can be found in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/034,422.
- the depth of the channels is typically related to the thickness of the substrate 50 . In one embodiment, the channels have depths in the range of about 12.5 to 75 ⁇ m (0.5 to 3 mils), and preferably about 25 to 50 ⁇ m (1 to 2 mils).
- the conductive traces are typically formed using a conductive material 56 such as carbon (e.g., graphite), a conductive polymer, a metal or alloy (e.g., gold or gold alloy), or a metallic compound (e.g., ruthenium dioxide or titanium dioxide).
- a conductive material 56 such as carbon (e.g., graphite), a conductive polymer, a metal or alloy (e.g., gold or gold alloy), or a metallic compound (e.g., ruthenium dioxide or titanium dioxide).
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- the conductive material 56 which fills the channels 54 is often formed using a precursor material, such as a conductive ink or paste.
- the conductive material 56 is deposited on the substrate 50 using methods such as coating, painting, or applying the material using a spreading instrument, such as a coating blade. Excess conductive material between the channels 54 is then removed by, for example, running a blade along the substrate surface.
- the conductive material 56 is a part of a precursor material, such as a conductive ink, obtainable, for example, from Ercon, Inc. (Wareham, Mass.), Metech, Inc. (Elverson, Pa.), E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. (Wilmington, Del.), Emca-Remex Products (Montgomeryville, Pa.), or MCA Services (Melbourn, Great Britain).
- the conductive ink is typically applied as a semiliquid or paste which contains particles of the carbon, metal, alloy, or metallic compound and a solvent or dispersant. After application of the conductive ink on the substrate 50 (e.g., in the channels 54 ), the solvent or dispersant evaporates to leave behind a solid mass of conductive material 56 .
- the conductive ink may also contain a binder.
- the binder may optionally be cured to further bind the conductive material 56 within the channel 54 and/or on the substrate 50 . Curing the binder increases the conductivity of the conductive material 56 . However, this is typically not necessary as the currents carried by the conductive material 56 within the conductive traces 52 are often relatively low (usually less than 1 ⁇ A and often less than 100 nA).
- Typical binders include, for example, polyurethane resins, cellulose derivatives, elastomers, and highly fluorinated polymers.
- elastomers examples include silicones, polymeric dienes, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins.
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
- a fluorinated polymer binder is Teflon® (DuPont, Wilmington, Del.). These binders are cured using, for example, heat or light, including ultraviolet (UV) light. The appropriate curing method typically depends on the particular binder which is used.
- a liquid or semiliquid precursor of the conductive material 56 e.g., a conductive ink
- the precursor fills the channel 54 .
- the conductive material 56 which remains may lose volume such that the conductive material 56 may or may not continue to fill the channel 54 .
- Preferred conductive materials 56 do not pull away from the substrate 50 as they lose volume, but rather decrease in height within the channel 54 . These conductive materials 56 typically adhere well to the substrate 50 and therefore do not pull away from the substrate 50 during evaporation of the solvent or dispersant.
- Suitable conductive materials 56 either adhere to at least a portion of the substrate 50 and/or contain another additive, such as a binder, which adheres the conductive material 56 to the substrate 50 .
- the conductive material 56 in the channels 54 is non-leachable, and more preferably immobilized on the substrate 50 .
- the conductive material 56 may be formed by multiple applications of a liquid or semiliquid precursor interspersed with removal of the solvent or dispersant.
- the channels 54 are formed using a laser.
- the laser carbonizes the polymer or plastic material.
- the carbon formed in this process is used as the conductive material 56 .
- Additional conductive material 56 such as a conductive carbon ink, may be used to supplement the carbon formed by the laser.
- the conductive traces 52 are formed by pad printing techniques.
- a film of conductive material is formed either as a continuous film or as a coating layer deposited on a carrier film. This film of conductive material is brought between a print head and the substrate 50 . A pattern on the surface of the substrate 50 is made using the print head according to a desired pattern of conductive traces 52 .
- the conductive material is transferred by pressure and/or heat from the film of conductive material to the substrate 50 . This technique often produces channels (e.g., depressions caused by the print head) in the substrate 50 .
- the conductive material is deposited on the surface of the substrate 50 without forming substantial depressions.
- the conductive traces 52 are formed by non-impact printing techniques. Such techniques include electrophotography and magnetography. In these processes, an image of the conductive traces 52 is electrically or magnetically formed on a drum. A laser or LED may be used to electrically form an image. A magnetic recording head may be used to magnetically form an image. A toner material (e.g., a conductive material, such as a conductive ink) is then attracted to portions of the drum according to the image. The toner material is then applied to the substrate by contact between the drum and the substrate. For example, the substrate may be rolled over the drum. The toner material may then be dried and/or a binder in the toner material may be cured to adhere the toner material to the substrate.
- a conductive material such as a conductive ink
- Another non-impact printing technique includes ejecting droplets of conductive material onto the substrate in a desired pattern. Examples of this technique include ink jet printing and piezo jet printing. An image is sent to the printer which then ejects the conductive material (e.g., a conductive ink) according to the pattern. The printer may provide a continuous stream of conductive material or the printer may eject the conductive material in discrete amounts at the desired points.
- conductive material e.g., a conductive ink
- Yet another non-impact printing embodiment of forming the conductive traces includes an ionographic process.
- a curable, liquid precursor such as a photopolymerizable acrylic resin (e.g., Solimer 7501 from Cubital, Bad Kreuznach, Germany) is deposited over a surface of a substrate 50 .
- a photomask having a positive or negative image of the conductive traces 52 is then used to cure the liquid precursor.
- Light e.g., visible or ultraviolet light
- Uncured liquid precursor is removed leaving behind channels 54 in the solid layer. These channels 54 can then be filled with conductive material 56 to form conductive traces 52 .
- Conductive traces 52 can be formed with relatively narrow widths, for example, in the range of 25 to 250 ⁇ m, and including widths of, for example, 250 ⁇ m, 150 ⁇ m, 100 ⁇ m, 75 ⁇ m, 50 ⁇ m, 25 ⁇ m or less by the methods described above.
- the conductive traces 52 are separated by distances sufficient to prevent conduction between the conductive traces 52 .
- the edge-to-edge distance between the conductive traces is preferably in the range of 25 to 250 ⁇ m and may be, for example, 150 ⁇ m, 100 ⁇ m, 751 ⁇ m, 50 ⁇ m, or less.
- the density of the conductive traces 52 on the substrate 50 is preferably in the range of about 150 to 700 ⁇ m/trace and may be as small as 667 ⁇ m/trace or less, 333 ⁇ m/trace or less, or even 167 ⁇ m/trace or less.
- the working electrode 58 and the counter electrode 60 are often made using a conductive material 56 , such as carbon. Suitable carbon conductive inks are available from Ercon, Inc. (Wareham, Mass.), Metech, Inc. (Elverson, Pa.), E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. (Wilmington, Del.), Emca-Remex Products (Montgomeryville, Pa.), or MCA Services (Melbourn, Great Britain).
- the working surface 51 of the working electrode 58 is at least a portion of the conductive trace 52 that is in contact with the analyte-containing fluid (e.g., implanted in the patient).
- the reference electrode 62 and/or counter/reference electrode are typically formed using conductive material 56 that is a suitable reference material, for example silver/silver chloride or a non-leachable redox couple bound to a conductive material, for example, a carbon-bound redox couple.
- a suitable reference material for example silver/silver chloride or a non-leachable redox couple bound to a conductive material, for example, a carbon-bound redox couple.
- Suitable silver/silver chloride conductive inks are available from Ercon, Inc. (Wareham, Mass.), Metech, Inc. (Elverson, Pa.), E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. (Wilmington, Del.), Emca-Remex Products (Montgomeryville, Pa.), or MCA Services (Melbourn, Great Britain).
- Silver/silver chloride electrodes illustrate a type of reference electrode that involves the reaction of a metal electrode with a constituent of the
- Suitable redox couples for binding to the conductive material of the reference electrode include, for example, redox polymers (e.g., polymers having multiple redox centers.) It is preferred that the reference electrode surface be non-corroding so that an erroneous potential is not measured.
- Preferred conductive materials include less corrosive metals, such as gold and palladium. Most preferred are non-corrosive materials including non-metallic conductors, such as carbon and conducting polymers.
- a redox polymer can be adsorbed on or covalently bound to the conductive material of the reference electrode, such as a carbon surface of a conductive trace 52 .
- Non-polymeric redox couples can be similarly bound to carbon or gold surfaces.
- a variety of methods may be used to immobilize a redox polymer on an electrode surface.
- One method is adsorptive immobilization. This method is particularly useful for redox polymers with relatively high molecular weights. The molecular weight of a polymer may be increased, for example, by cross-linking.
- Another method for immobilizing the redox polymer includes the functionalization of the electrode surface and then the chemical bonding, often covalently, of the redox polymer to the functional groups on the electrode surface.
- One example of this type of immobilization begins with a poly(4-vinylpyridine).
- the polymer's pyridine rings are, in part, complexed with a reducible/oxidizable species, such as [Os(bpy) 2 Cl] +/2+ where bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine.
- Part of the pyridine rings are quaternized by reaction with 2-bromoethylamine.
- the polymer is then crosslinked, for example, using a diepoxide, such as polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether.
- Carbon surfaces can be modified for attachment of a redox species or polymer, for example, by electroreduction of a diazonium salt.
- reduction of a diazonium salt formed upon diazotization of p-aminobenzoic acid modifies a carbon surface with phenylcarboxylic acid functional groups. These functional groups can then be activated by a carbodiimide, such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride.
- the activated functional groups are then bound with a amine-functionalized redox couple, such as the quaternized osmium-containing redox polymer described above or 2-aminoethylferrocene, to form the redox couple.
- a amine-functionalized redox couple such as the quaternized osmium-containing redox polymer described above or 2-aminoethylferrocene
- gold can be functionalized by an amine, such as cystamine.
- a redox couple such as [Os(bpy) 2 (pyridine-4-carboxylate)Cl] 0/+ is activated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride to form a reactive O-acylisourea which reacts with the gold-bound amine to form an amide.
- two or more of the conductive traces 52 on the substrate 50 are used to give the patient a mild electrical shock when, for example, the analyte level exceeds a threshold level. This shock may act as a warning or alarm to the patient to initiate some action to restore the appropriate level of the analyte.
- the mild electrical shock is produced by applying a potential between any two conductive traces 52 that are not otherwise connected by a conductive path.
- two of the electrodes 58 , 60 , 62 or one electrode 58 , 60 , 62 and the temperature probe 66 may be used to provide the mild shock.
- the working electrode 58 and the reference electrode 62 are not used for this purpose as this may cause some damage to the chemical components on or proximate to the particular electrode (e.g., the sensing layer on the working electrode or the redox couple on the reference electrode).
- the current used to produce the mild shock is typically 0.1 to 1 mA. Higher or lower currents may be used, although care should be taken to avoid harm to the patient.
- the potential between the conductive traces is typically 1 to 10 volts. However, higher or lower voltages may be used depending, for example, on the resistance of the conductive traces 52 , the distance between the conductive traces 52 and the desired amount of current.
- potentials at the working electrode 58 and across the temperature probe 66 may be removed to prevent harm to those components caused by unwanted conduction between the working electrode 58 (and/or temperature probe 66 , if used) and the conductive traces 52 which provide the mild shock.
- each of the conductive traces 52 includes a contact pad 49 .
- the contact pad 49 may simply be a portion of the conductive trace 52 that is indistinguishable from the rest of the trace 52 except that the contact pad 49 is brought into contact with the conductive contacts of a control unit (e.g., the sensor control unit 44 of FIG. 1). More commonly, however, the contact pad 49 is a region of the conductive trace 52 that has a larger width than other regions of the trace 52 to facilitate a connection with the contacts on the control unit.
- the contact pads 49 are typically made using the same material as the conductive material 56 of the conductive traces 52 . However, this is not necessary. Although metal, alloys, and metallic compounds may be used to form the contact pads 49 , in some embodiments, it is desirable to make the contact pads 49 from a carbon or other non-metallic material, such as a conducting polymer. In contrast to metal or alloy contact pads, carbon and other non-metallic contact pads are not easily corroded if the contact pads 49 are in a wet, moist, or humid environment. Metals and alloys may corrode under these conditions, particularly if the contact pads 49 and contacts of the control unit are made using different metals or alloys. However, carbon and non-metallic contact pads 49 do not significantly corrode, even if the contacts of the control device are metal or alloy.
- One embodiment of the invention includes a sensor 42 having contact pads 49 and a control unit 44 having conductive contacts (not shown). During operation of the sensor 42 , the contact pads 49 and conductive contacts are in contact with each other. In this embodiment, either the contact pads 49 or the conductive contacts are made using a non-corroding, conductive material. Such materials include, for example, carbon and conducting polymers. Preferred non-corroding materials include graphite and vitreous carbon. The opposing contact pad or conductive contact is made using carbon, a conducting polymer, a metal, such as gold, palladium, or platinum group metal, or a metallic compound, such as ruthenium dioxide. This configuration of contact pads and conductive contacts typically reduces corrosion.
- the signal arising due to the corrosion of the contact pads and/or conductive contacts is less than 3% of the signal generated by the sensor when exposed to concentration of analyte in the normal physiological range.
- the current generated by analyte in a normal physiological range ranges from 3 to 500 nA.
- Each of the electrodes 58 , 60 , 62 , as well as the two probe leads 68 , 70 of the temperature probe 66 (described below), are connected to contact pads 49 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.
- the contact pads 49 are on the same side of the substrate 50 as the respective electrodes or temperature probe leads to which the contact pads 49 are attached.
- the conductive traces 52 on at least one side are connected through vias in the substrate to contact pads 49 a on the opposite surface of the substrate 50 , as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.
- An advantage of this configuration is that contact between the contacts on the control unit and each of the electrodes 58 , 60 , 62 and the probe leads 68 , 70 of the temperature probe 66 can be made from a single side of the substrate 50 .
- vias through the substrate are used to provide contact pads on both sides of the substrate 50 for each conductive trace 52 .
- the vias connecting the conductive traces 52 with the contact pads 49 a can be formed by making holes through the substrate 50 at the appropriate points and then filling the holes with conductive material 56 .
- the senor 42 includes two working electrodes 58 a , 58 b and one counter electrode 60 , which also functions as a reference electrode.
- the sensor includes one working electrode 58 a , one counter electrode 60 , and one reference electrode 62 , as shown in FIG. 3B.
- Each of these embodiments is illustrated with all of the electrodes formed on the same side of the substrate 50 .
- one or more of the electrodes may be formed on an opposing side of the substrate 50 .
- This may be convenient if the electrodes are formed using two different types of conductive material 56 (e.g., carbon and silver/silver chloride). Then, at least in some embodiments, only one type of conductive material 56 needs to be applied to each side of the substrate 50 , thereby reducing the number of steps in the manufacturing process and/or easing the registration constraints in the process.
- the working electrode 58 is formed using a carbon-based conductive material 56 and the reference or counter/reference electrode is formed using a silver/silver chloride conductive material 56 , then the working electrode and reference or counter/reference electrode may be formed on opposing sides of the substrate 50 for ease of manufacture.
- two working electrodes 58 and one counter electrode 60 are formed on one side of the substrate 50 and one reference electrode 62 and a temperature probe 66 are formed on an opposing side of the substrate 50 , as illustrated in FIG. 6.
- the opposing sides of the tip of this embodiment of the sensor 42 are illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.
- analytes such as oxygen
- Other analytes such as glucose and lactate
- Catalysts may also be used for those analyte, such as oxygen, that can be directly electrooxidized or electroreduced on the working electrode 58 .
- each working electrode 58 has a sensing layer 64 formed proximate to or on a working surface of the working electrode 58 .
- the sensing layer 64 is formed near or on only a small portion of the working electrode 58 , often near a tip of the sensor 42 . This limits the amount of material needed to form the sensor 42 and places the sensing layer 64 in the best position for contact with the analyte-containing fluid (e.g., a body fluid, sample fluid, or carrier fluid).
- the analyte-containing fluid e.g., a body fluid, sample fluid, or carrier fluid.
- the sensing layer 64 includes one or more components designed to facilitate the electrolysis of the analyte.
- the sensing layer 64 may include, for example, a catalyst to catalyze a reaction of the analyte and produce a response at the working electrode 58 , an electron transfer agent to indirectly or directly transfer electrons between the analyte and the working electrode 58 , or both.
- the sensing layer 64 may be formed as a solid composition of the desired components (e.g., an electron transfer agent and/or a catalyst). These components are preferably non-leachable from the sensor 42 and more preferably are immobilized on the sensor 42 .

- the components which are solvated, dispersed, or suspended in this type of sensing layer 64 are non-leachable from the sensing layer. Non-leachability may be accomplished, for example, by providing barriers (e.g., the electrode, substrate, membranes, and/or films) around the sensing layer which prevent the leaching of the components of the sensing layer 64 .
- a barrier is a microporous membrane or film which allows diffusion of the analyte into the sensing layer 64 to make contact with the components of the sensing layer 64 , but reduces or eliminates the diffusion of the sensing layer components (e.g., a electron transfer agent and/or a catalyst) out of the sensing layer 64 .

- the catalyst is non-leachably disposed on the sensor, whether the catalyst is part of a solid sensing layer in the sensor or solvated in a fluid within the sensing layer. More preferably, the catalyst is immobilized within the sensor (e.g., on the electrode and/or within or between a membrane or film) to prevent unwanted leaching of the catalyst away from the working electrode 58 and into the patient. This may be accomplished, for example, by attaching the catalyst to a polymer, cross linking the catalyst with another electron transfer agent (which, as described above, can be polymeric), and/or providing one or more barrier membranes or films with pore sizes smaller than the catalyst.

- This may be accomplished, for example, by mixing a catalyst, such as an enzyme, in a carbon ink and applying the mixture into a channel 54 on the surface of the substrate 50 .
- the catalyst is immobilized in the channel 53 so that it can not leach away from the working electrode 58 .

- the mixture may be cured using evaporation or UV curing techniques or by the exposure to heat that is sufficiently short that the catalyst is not substantially degraded.
- thermostability of the catalyst Another consideration for in vivo analyte sensors is the thermostability of the catalyst. Many enzymes have only limited stability at biological temperatures. Thus, it may be necessary to use large amounts of the catalyst and/or use a catalyst that is thermostable at the necessary temperature (e.g., 37° C. or higher for normal body temperature).
- a thermostable catalyst may be defined as a catalyst which loses less than 5% of its activity when held at 37° C. for at least one hour, preferably, at least one day, and more preferably at least three days.

No. 08/540,789, and PCT Application No. US98/02403 entitled “Soybean Peroxidase Electrochemical Sensor”, filed on Feb. 11, 1998, Attorney Docket No. M&G 12008.8WOI2.
- a potential (versus a reference potential) is applied across the working and counter electrodes 58 , 60 .
- the minimum magnitude of the applied potential is often dependent on the particular electron transfer agent, analyte (if the analyte is directly electrolyzed at the electrode), or second compound (if a second compound, such as oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, whose level is dependent on the analyte level, is directly electrolyzed at the electrode).
- the applied potential usually equals or is more oxidizing or reducing, depending on the desired electrochemical reaction, than the redox potential of the electron transfer agent, analyte, or second compound, whichever is directly electrolyzed at the electrode.
- the potential at the working electrode is typically large enough to drive the electrochemical reaction to or near completion.
- the magnitude of the potential may optionally be limited to prevent significant (as determined by the current generated in response to the analyte) electrochemical reaction of interferents, such as urate, ascorbate, and acetaminophen.
- interferents such as urate, ascorbate, and acetaminophen.
- the limitation of the potential may be obviated if these interferents have been removed in another way, such as by providing an interferent-limiting barrier, as described below, or by including a working electrode 58 b (see FIG. 3A) from which a background signal may be obtained.
- an electrical current will flow.
- the current is a result of the electrolysis of the analyte or a second compound whose level is affected by the analyte.
- the electrochemical reaction occurs via an electron transfer agent and the optional catalyst.
- Many analytes B are oxidized (or reduced) to products C by an electron transfer agent species A in the presence of an appropriate catalyst (e.g., an enzyme).
- the electron transfer agent A is then oxidized (or reduced) at the electrode. Electrons are collected by (or removed from) the electrode and the resulting current is measured. This process is illustrated by reaction equations (1) and (2) (similar equations may be written for the reduction of the analyte B by a redox mediator A in the presence of a catalyst):
- an electrochemical sensor may be based on the reaction of a glucose molecule with two non-leachable ferricyanide anions in the presence of glucose oxidase to produce two non-leachable ferrocyanide anions, two hydrogen ions, and gluconolactone.
- the amount of glucose present is assayed by electrooxidizing the non-leachable ferrocyanide anions to non-leachable ferricyanide anions and measuring the current.
- a second compound whose level is affected by the analyte is electrolyzed at the working electrode.
- the reactant compound E is indirectly oxidized (or reduced) using an electron transfer agent H (optionally in the presence of a catalyst), that is subsequently reduced or oxidized at the electrode, as shown in reaction equations (5) and (6).
- the relevant second compound is a product compound F, as shown in reaction equation (3).
- the product compound F is formed by the catalyzed reaction of analyte D and then be directly electrolyzed at the electrode or indirectly electrolyzed using an electron transfer agent and, optionally, a catalyst.
- the signal arising from the direct or indirect electrolysis of the product compound F at the working electrode corresponds directly to the level of the analyte (unless there are other sources of the product compound). As the level of analyte increases, the level of the product compound and signal at the working electrode increases.
- a variety of optional items may be included in the sensor.
- One optional item is a temperature probe 66 (FIGS. 8 and 11).
- the temperature probe 66 may be made using a variety of known designs and materials.
- One exemplary temperature probe 66 is formed using two probe leads 68 , 70 connected to each other through a temperature-dependent element 72 that is formed using a material with a temperature-dependent characteristic.
- An example of a suitable temperature-dependent characteristic is the resistance of the temperature-dependent element 72 .
- the two probe leads 68 , 70 are typically formed using a metal, an alloy, a semimetal, such as graphite, a degenerate or highly doped semiconductor, or a small-band gap semiconductor.
- suitable materials include gold, silver, ruthenium oxide, titanium nitride, titanium dioxide, indium doped tin oxide, tin doped indium oxide, or graphite.
- the temperature-dependent element 72 is typically made using a fine trace (e.g., a conductive trace that has a smaller cross-section than that of the probe leads 68 , 70 ) of the same conductive material as the probe leads, or another material such as a carbon ink, a carbon fiber, or platinum, which has a temperature-dependent characteristic, such as resistance, that provides a temperature-dependent signal when a voltage source is attached to the two probe leads 68 , 70 of the temperature probe 66 .
- the temperature-dependent characteristic of the temperature-dependent element 72 may either increase or decrease with temperature.
- the temperature dependence of the characteristic of the temperature-dependent element 72 is approximately linear with temperature over the expected range of biological temperatures (about 25 to 45° C.), although this is not required.
- a signal (e.g., a current) having an amplitude or other property that is a function of the temperature can be obtained by providing a potential across the two probe leads 68 , 70 of the temperature probe 66 .
- the signal from the temperature probe 66 (e.g., the amount of current flowing through the probe) may be combined with the signal obtained from the working electrode 58 by, for example, scaling the temperature probe signal and then adding or subtracting the scaled temperature probe signal from the signal at the working electrode 58 . In this manner, the temperature probe 66 can provide a temperature adjustment for the output from the working electrode 58 to offset the temperature dependence of the working electrode 58 .
- One embodiment of the temperature probe includes probe leads 68 , 70 formed as two spaced-apart channels with a temperature-dependent element 72 formed as a cross-channel connecting the two spaced-apart channels, as illustrated in FIG. 8.
- the two spaced-apart channels contain a conductive material, such as a metal, alloy, semimetal, degenerate semiconductor, or metallic compound.
- the cross-channel may contain the same material (provided the cross-channel has a smaller cross-section than the two spaced-apart channels) as the probe leads 68 , 70 . In other embodiments, the material in the cross-channel is different than the material of the probe leads 68 , 70 .
- One exemplary method for forming this particular temperature probe includes forming the two spaced-apart channels and then filling them with the metallic or alloyed conductive material. Next, the cross-channel is formed and then filled with the desired material. The material in the cross-channel overlaps with the conductive material in each of the two spaced-apart channels to form an electrical connection.
- the temperature-dependent element 72 of the temperature probe 66 can not be shorted by conductive material formed between the two probe leads 68 , 70 .
- a covering may be provided over the temperature-dependent element 72 , and preferably over the portion of the probe leads 68 , 70 that is implanted in the patient.
- the covering may be, for example, a non-conducting film disposed over the temperature-dependent element 72 and probe leads 68 , 70 to prevent the ionic conduction. Suitable non-conducting films include, for example, KaptonTM polyimide films (DuPont, Wilmington, Del.).
- Another method for eliminating or reducing conduction by ionic species in the body or sample fluid is to use an ac voltage source connected to the probe leads 68 , 70 . In this way, the positive and negative ionic species are alternately attracted and repelled during each half cycle of the ac voltage. This results in no net attraction of the ions in the body or sample fluid to the temperature probe 66 . The maximum amplitude of the ac current through the temperature-dependent element 72 may then be used to correct the measurements from the working electrodes 58 .
- the temperature probe can be placed on the same substrate as the electrodes. Alternatively, a temperature probe may be placed on a separate substrate. In addition, the temperature probe may be used by itself or in conjunction with other devices.
- a temperature probe utilizes the temperature dependence of the conductivity of a solution (e.g., blood or interstitial fluid).
- a solution e.g., blood or interstitial fluid
- the conductivity of an electrolyte-containing solution is dependent on the temperature of the solution, assuming that the concentration of electrolytes is relatively constant.
- Blood, interstitial fluid, and other bodily fluids are solutions with relatively constant levels of electrolytes.
- a sensor 42 can include two or more conductive traces (not shown) which are spaced apart by a known distance.
- a portion of these conductive traces is exposed to the solution and the conductivity between the exposed portions of the conductive traces is measured using known techniques (e.g., application of a constant or known current or potential and measurement of the resulting potential or current, respectively, to determine the conductivity).
- a change in conductivity is related to a change in temperature.
- This relation can be modeled using linear, quadratic, exponential, or other relations. The parameters for this relationship typically do not vary significantly between most people.
- the calibration for the temperature probe can be determined by a variety of methods, including, for example, calibration of each sensor 42 using an independent method of determining temperature (e.g., a thermometer, an optical or electrical temperature detector, or the temperature probe 66 , described above) or calibrating one sensor 42 and using that calibration for all other sensors in a batch based on uniformity in geometry.
- An optional film layer 75 is formed over at least that portion of the sensor 42 which is subcutaneously inserted into the patient, as shown in FIG. 9.
- This optional film layer 74 may serve one or more functions.
- the film layer 74 prevents the penetration of large biomolecules into the electrodes. This is accomplished by using a film layer 74 having a pore size that is smaller than the biomolecules that are to be excluded. Such biomolecules may foul the electrodes and/or the sensing layer 64 thereby reducing the effectiveness of the sensor 42 and altering the expected signal amplitude for a given analyte concentration. The fouling of the working electrodes 58 may also decrease the effective life of the sensor 42 .
- the biocompatible layer 74 may also prevent protein adhesion to the sensor 42 , formation of blood clots, and other undesirable interactions between the sensor 42 and body.
- the senor may be completely or partially coated on its exterior with a biocompatible coating.
- a preferred biocompatible coating is a hydrogel which contains at least 20 wt. % fluid when in equilibrium with the analyte-containing fluid. Examples of suitable hydrogels are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,593,852, incorporated herein by reference, and include crosslinked polyethylene oxides, such as polyethylene oxide tetraacrylate.
- An interferent-eliminating layer (not shown) may be included in the sensor 42 .
- the interferent-eliminating layer may be incorporated in the biocompatible layer 75 or in the mass transport limiting layer 74 (described below) or may be a separate layer.
- Interferents are molecules or other species that are electroreduced or electrooxidized at the electrode, either directly or via an electron transfer agent, to produce a false signal.
- a film or membrane prevents the penetration of one or more interferents into the region around the working electrodes 58 .
- this type of interferent-eliminating layer is much less permeable to one or more of the interferents than to the analyte.
- the interferent-eliminating layer may include ionic components, such as Nafion®, incorporated into a polymeric matrix to reduce the permeability of the interferent-eliminating layer to ionic interferents having the same charge as the ionic components.
- ionic components such as Nafion®
- negatively charged compounds or compounds that form negative ions may be incorporated in the interferent-eliminating layer to reduce the permeation of negative species in the body or sample fluid.
- an interferent-eliminating layer includes a catalyst for catalyzing a reaction which removes interferents.
- a catalyst for catalyzing a reaction which removes interferents.
- One example of such a catalyst is a peroxidase. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with interferents, such as acetaminophen, urate, and ascorbate. The hydrogen peroxide may be added to the analyte-containing fluid or may be generated in situ, by, for example, the reaction of glucose or lactate in the presence of glucose oxidase or lactate oxidase, respectively.
- interferent eliminating layers include a peroxidase enzyme crosslinked (a) using gluteraldehyde as a crosslinking agent or (b) oxidation of oligosaccharide groups in the peroxidase glycoenzyme with NaIO 4 , followed by coupling of the aldehydes formed to hydrazide groups in a polyacrylamide matrix to form hydrazones are describe in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,262,305 and 5,356,786, incorporated herein by reference.
- a mass transport limiting layer 74 may be included with the sensor to act as a diffusion-limiting barrier to reduce the rate of mass transport of the analyte, for example, glucose or lactate, into the region around the working electrodes 58 .
- the steady state concentration of the analyte in the proximity of the working electrode 58 (which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the body or sample fluid) can be reduced. This extends the upper range of analyte concentrations that can still be accurately measured and may also expand the range in which the current increases approximately linearly with the level of the analyte.
- the mass transport limiting layer is made using a film that absorbs less than 5 wt. % of fluid over 24 hours. This may reduce or obviate any need for a temperature probe.
- the mass transport limiting layer is made using a film that absorbs less than 5 wt. % of fluid over 24 hours at 37° C.
- Particularly useful materials for the film layer 74 are membranes that do not swell in the analyte-containing fluid that the sensor tests. Suitable membranes include 3 to 20,000 nm diameter pores. Membranes having 5 to 500 nm diameter pores with well-defined, uniform pore sizes and high aspect ratios are preferred. In one embodiment, the aspect ratio of the pores is preferably two or greater and more preferably five or greater.
- Well-defined and uniform pores can be made by track etching a polymeric membrane using accelerated electrons, ions, or particles emitted by radioactive nuclei.
- Most preferred are anisotropic, polymeric, track etched membranes that expand less in the direction perpendicular to the pores than in the direction of the pores when heated.
- Suitable polymeric membranes included polycarbonate membranes from Poretics (Livermore, Calif., catalog number 19401, 0.01 ⁇ m pore size polycarbonate membrane) and Corning Costar Corp. (Cambridge, Mass., NucleoporeTM brand membranes with 0.015 ⁇ m pore size).
- Other polyolefin and polyester films may be used.
- the permeability of the mass transport limiting membrane changes no more than 4%, preferably, no more than 3%, and, more preferably, no more than 2%, per ° C. in the range from 30° C. to 40° C. when the membranes resides in the subcutaneous interstitial fluid.
- the mass transport limiting layer 74 may also limit the flow of oxygen into the sensor 42 . This can improve the stability of sensors 42 that are used in situations where variation in the partial pressure of oxygen causes non-linearity in sensor response.
- the mass transport limiting layer 74 restricts oxygen transport by at least 40%, preferably at least 60%, and more preferably at least 80%, than the membrane restricts transport of the analyte.
- films having a greater density e.g., a density closer to that of the crystalline polymer
- Polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, are typically less permeable to oxygen and are, therefore, preferred over polycarbonate membranes.
- An implantable sensor may also, optionally, have an anticlotting agent disposed on a portion the substrate which is implanted into a patient.
- This anticlotting agent may reduce or eliminate the clotting of blood or other body fluid around the sensor, particularly after insertion of the sensor. Blood clots may foul the sensor or irreproducibly reduce the amount of analyte which diffuses into the sensor.
- useful anticlotting agents include heparin and tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), as well as other known anticlotting agents.
- the anticlotting agent may be applied to at least a portion of that part of the sensor 42 that is to be implanted.
- the anticlotting agent may be applied, for example, by bath, spraying, brushing, or dipping.
- the anticlotting agent is allowed to dry on the sensor 42 .
- the anticlotting agent may be immobilized on the surface of the sensor or it may be allowed to diffuse away from the sensor surface.
- the quantities of anticlotting agent disposed on the sensor are far below the amounts typically used for treatment of medical conditions involving blood clots and, therefore, have only a limited, localized effect.
- the sensor 42 may be designed to be a replaceable component in an in vivo analyte monitor, and particularly in an implantable analyte monitor.
- the sensor 42 is capable of operation over a period of days.
- the period of operation is at least one day, more preferably at least three days, and most preferably at least one week.
- the sensor 42 can then be removed and replaced with a new sensor.
- the lifetime of the sensor 42 may be reduced by the fouling of the electrodes or by the leaching of the electron transfer agent or catalyst.
- Another primary limitation on the lifetime of the sensor 42 is the temperature stability of the catalyst.
- Many catalysts are enzymes, which are very sensitive to the ambient temperature and may degrade at temperatures of the patient's body (e.g., approximately 37° C. for the human body). Thus, robust enzymes should be used where available.
- the sensor 42 should be replaced when a sufficient amount of the enzyme has been deactivated to introduce an unacceptable amount of error in the measurements.
- An insertion device 120 can be used to subcutaneously insert the sensor 42 into the patient, as illustrated in FIG. 12.
- the insertion device 120 is typically formed using structurally rigid materials, such as metal or rigid plastic. Preferred materials include stainless steel and ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) plastic.
- the insertion device 120 is pointed and/or sharp at the tip 121 to facilitate penetration of the skin of the patient. A sharp, thin insertion device may reduce pain felt by the patient upon insertion of the sensor 42 .
- the tip 121 of the insertion device 120 has other shapes, including a blunt or flat shape. These embodiments may be particularly useful when the insertion device 120 does not penetrate the skin but rather serves as a structural support for the sensor 42 as the sensor 42 is pushed into the skin.
- the insertion device 120 may have a variety of cross-sectional shapes, as shown in FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13 C.
- the insertion device 120 illustrated in FIG. 13A is a flat, planar, pointed strip of rigid material which may be attached or otherwise coupled to the sensor 42 to ease insertion of the sensor 42 into the skin of the patient, as well as to provide structural support to the sensor 42 during insertion.
- the insertion devices 120 of FIGS. 13B and 13C are U- or V-shaped implements that support the sensor 42 to limit the amount that the sensor 42 may bend or bow during insertion.
- 13B and 13C is typically 1 mm or less, preferably 700 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 500 ⁇ m or less, and most preferably 300 ⁇ m or less.
- the cross-sectional height 126 of the insertion device 120 illustrated in FIGS. 13B and 13C is typically about 1 mm or less, preferably about 700 ⁇ m or less, and more preferably about 500 ⁇ m or less.
- the sensor 42 itself may include optional features to facilitate insertion.
- the sensor 42 may be pointed at the tip 123 to ease insertion, as illustrated in FIG. 12.
- the sensor 42 may include a barb 125 which helps retain the sensor 42 in the subcutaneous tissue of the patient.
- the barb 125 may also assist in anchoring the sensor 42 within the subcutaneous tissue of the patient during operation of the sensor 42 .
- the barb 125 is typically small enough that little damage is caused to the subcutaneous tissue when the sensor 42 is removed for replacement.
- the sensor 42 may also include a notch 127 that can be used in cooperation with a corresponding structure (not shown) in the insertion device to apply pressure against the sensor 42 during insertion, but disengage as the insertion device 120 is removed.
- a structure in the insertion device is a rod (not shown) between two opposing sides of an insertion device 120 and at an appropriate height of the insertion device 120 .
- the sensor 42 is placed within or next to the insertion device 120 and then a force is provided against the insertion device 120 and/or sensor 42 to carry the sensor 42 into the skin of the patient.
- the force is applied to the sensor 42 to push the sensor into the skin, while the insertion device 120 remains stationary and provides structural support to the sensor 42 .
- the force is applied to the insertion device 120 and optionally to the sensor 42 to push a portion of both the sensor 42 and the insertion device 120 through the skin of the patient and into the subcutaneous tissue.
- the insertion device 120 is optionally pulled out of the skin and subcutaneous tissue with the sensor 42 remaining in the subcutaneous tissue due to frictional forces between the sensor 42 and the patient's tissue. If the sensor 42 includes the optional barb 125 , then this structure may also facilitate the retention of the sensor 42 within the interstitial tissue as the barb catches in the tissue.
- the force applied to the insertion device 120 and/or the sensor 42 may be applied manually or mechanically.
- the sensor 42 is reproducibly inserted through the skin of the patient.

- conductive contacts 80 are provided on the exterior of the housing 45 . In other embodiments, the conductive contacts 80 are provided on the interior of the housing 45 , for example, within a hollow or recessed region.
- the electronic components and/or other items are incorporated into the housing 45 of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 as the plastic or polymeric material is molded or otherwise formed. In other embodiments, the electronic components and/or other items are incorporated into the housing 45 as the molded material is cooling or after the molded material has been reheated to make it pliable. Alternatively, the electronic components and/or other items may be secured to the housing 45 using fasteners, such as screws, nuts and bolts, nails, staples, rivets, and the like or adhesives, such as contact adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, glues, epoxies, adhesive resins, and the like.

- These two or more separate portions of the housing 45 of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 may have complementary, interlocking structures, such as, for example, interlocking ridges or a ridge on one component and a complementary groove on another component, so that the two or more separate components may be easily and/or firmly coupled together. This may be useful, particularly if the components are taken apart and fit together occasionally, for example, when a battery or sensor 42 is replaced.
- other fasteners may also be used to couple the two or more components together, including, for example, screws, nuts and bolts, nails, staples, rivets, or the like.

- the housing is waterproof.
- two or more components of the housing 45 fit together tightly to form a hermetic, waterproof, or water resistant seal so that fluids can not flow into the interior of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 . This may be useful to avoid corrosion currents and/or degradation of items within the on-skin sensor control unit 44 , such as the conductive contacts, the battery, or the electronic components, particularly when the patient engages in such activities as showering, bathing, or swimming.
- Water resistant means that there is no penetration of water through a water resistant seal or housing when immersed in water at a depth of one meter at sea level.
- Waterproof means that there is no penetration of water through the waterproof seal or housing when immersed in water at a depth of ten meters, and preferably fifty meters, at sea level. It is often desirable that the electronic circuitry, power supply (e.g., battery), and conductive contacts of the on-skin sensor control unit, as well as the contact pads of the sensor, are contained in a water resistant, and preferably, a waterproof, environment.

- Another example is a cover for a battery provided in the base 74 or cover 76 .
- These individually-formed pieces of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 may be permanently affixed, such as, for example, a cover for electronic components, or removably affixed, such as, for example, a removable cover for a battery, to the base 74 , cover 76 , or other component of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 .
- Methods for affixing these individually-formed pieces include the use of fasteners, such as screws, nuts and bolts, staples, nails, rivets, and the like, frictional fasteners, such as tongue and groove structures, and adhesives, such as contact adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, glues, epoxies, adhesive resins, and the like.
- One embodiment of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 is a disposable unit complete with a battery for operating the unit. There are no portions of the unit that the patient needs to open or remove, thereby reducing the size of the unit and simplifying its construction.
- the on-skin sensor control unit 44 optionally remains in a sleep mode prior to use to conserve the battery's power.
- the on-skin sensor control unit 44 detects that it is being used and activates itself. Detection of use may be through a number of mechanisms.

Often this embodiment of the on-skin sensor control unit 44 has conductive contacts 80 on the exterior of the housing 45 . Once the sensor 42 is implanted in the patient, the sensor control unit 44 is placed over the sensor 42 with the conductive contacts 80 in contact with the contact pads 49 of the sensor 42 .
- the on-skin sensor control unit 44 is typically attached to the skin 75 of the patient, as illustrated in FIG. 17.

- a variety of adhesives may be used to adhere the on-skin sensor control unit 44 to the skin 75 of the patient, either directly or using the mounting unit 77 , including, for example, pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) or contact adhesives.
- PSA pressure sensitive adhesives
- an adhesive is chosen which is not irritating to all or a majority of patients for at least the period of time that a particular sensor 42 is implanted in the patient.
- a second adhesive or other skin-protecting compound may be included with the mounting unit so that a patient, whose skin is irritated by the adhesive on the mounting unit 77 , can cover his skin with the second adhesive or other skin-protecting compound and then place the mounting unit 77 over the second adhesive or other skin-protecting compound. This should substantially prevent the irritation of the skin of the patient because the adhesive on the mounting unit 77 is no longer in contact with the skin, but is instead in contact with the second adhesive or other skin-protecting compound.
- the on-skin sensor control unit 44 may be moved to a different position on the skin 75 of the patient, for example, to avoid excessive irritation. Alternatively, the on-skin sensor control unit 44 may remain at the same place on the skin of the patient until it is determined that the unit 44 should be moved.

- the insulating regions 90 should have sufficient width so that a single conductive region 88 does not overlap with two contact pads 49 as determined based on the expected variation in the position of the sensor 42 and contact pads 49 with respect to the conductive contacts 80 .
- the conducting regions 88 are formed using materials such as metals, alloys, or conductive carbon.

- the conductive contacts 80 may be embedded in (FIG. 19E) or extending out of (FIG. 19F) the housing 45 .
- the conductive contacts 80 are preferably made using a material which will not corrode due to contact with the contact pads 49 of the sensor 42 .

- the measurement circuit 96 may include a current-to-voltage or current-to-frequency converter. The purpose of this conversion may be to provide a signal that is, for example, more easily transmitted, readable by digital circuits, and/or less susceptible to noise contributions.
- FIG. 20A One example of a standard current-to-voltage converter is provided in FIG. 20A.
- the signal from the sensor 42 is provided at one input terminal 134 of an operational amplifier 130 (“op amp”) and coupled through a resistor 138 to an output terminal 136 .
- This particular current-to-voltage converter 131 may, however, be difficult to implement in a small CMOS chip because resistors are often difficult to implement on an integrated circuit.

The comparison of the two signals may be made for each measurement or at regular intervals. Alternatively or additionally, the comparison may be initiated by the patient or another person. Moreover, the signals from both sensors may be used to generate data or one signal may be discarded after the comparison.
- the current at the counter electrode 60 should be twice the current at each of the working electrodes, within a predetermined tolerance level, if the working electrodes are operating properly. If not, then the sensor or sensors should be replaced, as described above.

- threshold values for blood glucose levels are about 60, 70, or 80 mg/dL for hypoglycemia; about 70, 80, or 90 mg/dL for impending hypoglycemia; about 130, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, or 275 mg/dL for impending hyperglycemia; and about 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, or 300 mg/dL for hyperglycemia.
- the actual threshold values that are designed into the alarm system 104 may correspond to interstitial fluid glucose concentrations or electrode measurements (e.g., current values or voltage values obtained by conversion of current measurements) that correlate to the above-mentioned blood glucose levels.
- the analyte monitor device may be configured so that the threshold levels for these or any other conditions may be programmable by the patient and/or a medical professional.
- a threshold value is exceeded if the datapoint has a value that is beyond the threshold value in a direction indicating a particular condition. For example, a datapoint which correlates to a glucose level of 200 mg/dL exceeds a threshold value for hyperglycemia of 180 mg/dL, because the datapoint indicates that the patient has entered a hyperglycemic state. As another example, a datapoint which correlates to a glucose level of 65 mg/dL exceeds a threshold value for hypoglycemia of 70 mg/dL because the datapoint indicates that the patient is hypoglycemic as defined by the threshold value. However, a datapoint which correlates to a glucose level of 75 mg/dL would not exceed the same threshold value for hypoglycemia because the datapoint does not indicate that particular condition as defined by the chosen threshold value.
- An alarm may also be activated if the sensor readings indicate a value that is beyond a measurement range of the sensor 42 .
- the physiologically relevant measurement range is typically about 50 to 250 mg/dL, preferably about 40-300 mg/dL and ideally 30-400 mg/dL, of glucose in the interstitial fluid.
- the alarm system 104 may also, or alternatively, be activated when the rate of change or acceleration of the rate of change in analyte level increase or decrease reaches or exceeds a threshold rate or acceleration.
- a threshold rate or acceleration For example, in the case of a subcutaneous glucose monitor, the alarm system might be activated if the rate of change in glucose concentration exceeds a threshold value which might indicate that a hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic condition is likely to occur.
- the optional alarm system 104 may be configured to activate when a single data point meets or exceeds a particular threshold value. Alternatively, the alarm may be activated only when a predetermined number of datapoints spanning a predetermined amount of time meet or exceed the threshold value. As another alternative, the alarm may be activated only when the datapoints spanning a predetermined amount of time have an average value which meets or exceeds the threshold value.
- Each condition that can trigger an alarm may have a different alarm activation condition.
- the alarm activation condition may change depending on current conditions (e.g., an indication of impending hyperglycemia may alter the number of datapoints or the amount of time that is tested to determine hyperglycemia).
- the alarm system 104 may contain one or more individual alarms. Each of the alarms may be individually activated to indicate one or more conditions of the analyte.
- the alarms may be, for example, auditory or visual. Other sensory-stimulating alarm systems may be used including alarm systems which heat, cool, vibrate, or produce a mild electrical shock when activated.
- the alarms are auditory with a different tone, note, or volume indicating different conditions. For example, a high note might indicate hyperglycemia and a low note might indicate hypoglycemia.
- Visual alarms may use a difference in color, brightness, or position on the on-skin sensor control device 44 to indicate different conditions.
- an auditory alarm system is configured so that the volume of the alarm increases over time until the alarm is deactivated.
- the alarm may be automatically deactivated after a predetermined time period.
- the alarm may be configured to deactivate when the data no longer indicate that the condition which triggered the alarm exists.
- the alarm may be deactivated when a single data point indicates that the condition no longer exists or, alternatively, the alarm may be deactivated only after a predetermined number of datapoints or an average of datapoints obtained over a given period of time indicate that the condition no longer exists.
- the alarm may be deactivated manually by the patient or another person in addition to or as an alternative to automatic deactivation.

- an actuator may be provided on two or more units 44 , 46 , 48 , any of which may be actuated to deactivate the alarm. If the switch 101 and or actuator is provided on the receiver/display unit 46 , 48 then a signal may be transmitted from the receiver/display unit 46 , 48 to the receiver 98 on the on-skin sensor control unit 44 to deactivate the alarm.
- switches 101 may be used including, for example, a mechanical switch, a reed switch, a Hall effect switch, a Gigantic Magnetic Ratio (GMR) switch (the resistance of the GMR switch is magnetic field dependent) and the like.
- the actuator used to operatively engage (or disengage) the switch is placed on the on-skin sensor control unit 44 and configured so that no water can flow around the button and into the housing.
- a button is a flexible conducting strip that is completely covered by a flexible polymeric or plastic coating integral to the housing. In an open position the flexible conducting strip is bowed and bulges away from the housing. When depressed by the patient or another person, the flexible conducting strip is pushed directly toward a metal contact and completes the circuit to shut off the alarm.
- a piece of magnetic material such as a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, in a flexible actuator that is bowed or bulges away from the housing 45 and the reed or GMR switch is used.
- the reed or GMR switch is activated (to deactivate the alarm) by depressing the flexible actuator bringing the magnetic material closer to the switch and causing an increase in the magnetic field within the switch.

- a processor 262 in the on-skin sensor control unit 254 determines the level of the analyte, and possibly other information, such as the rate or acceleration of the rate in the increase or decrease in analyte level. This information is then transmitted to the data storage and controller module 252 using a transmitter 264 in the on-skin sensor control unit 254 , as illustrated in FIG. 25, or a non-integrated receiver/display unit 256 .
- the data storage and controller module 258 may verify that the data from the two or more sensors 252 agrees within predetermined parameters before accepting the data as valid. This data may then be processed by the data storage and controller module 258 , optionally with previously obtained data, to determine a drug administration protocol. The drug administration protocol is then executed using the drug administration system 260 , which may be an internal or external infusion pump, syringe injector, transdermal delivery system (e.g., a patch containing the drug placed on the skin), or inhalation system. Alternatively, the drug storage and controller module 258 may provide a the drug administration protocol so that the patient or another person may provide the drug to the patient according to the profile.
- the drug administration system 260 may be an internal or external infusion pump, syringe injector, transdermal delivery system (e.g., a patch containing the drug placed on the skin), or inhalation system.
- the drug storage and controller module 258 may provide a the drug administration protocol so that the patient or another person may provide the drug to the
- the data storage and controller module 258 is trainable.
- the data storage and controller module 258 may store glucose readings over a predetermined period of time, e.g., several weeks.
- the relevant history leading to such event may be analyzed to determine any patterns which might improve the system's ability to predict future episodes.
- Subsequent data might be compared to the known patterns to predict hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and deliver the drug accordingly.
- the analysis of trends is performed by an external system or by the processing circuit 109 in the on-skin sensor control unit 254 or the analyzer 152 in the receiver/display unit 256 and the trends are incorporated in the data storage and controller 258 .
- the data storage and controller module 258 , processing circuit 109 , and/or analyzer 152 utilizes patient-specific data from multiple episodes to predict a patient's response to future episodes.
- the multiple episodes used in the prediction are typically responses to a same or similar external or internal stimulus.
- stimuli include periods of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia (or corresponding conditions for analytes other than glucose), treatment of a condition, drug delivery (e.g., insulin for glucose), food intake, exercise, fasting, change in body temperature, elevated or lowered body temperature (e.g., fever), and diseases, viruses, infections; and the like.
- the data storage and controller module 258 , processing circuit 109 , and/or analyzer 152 can predict the coarse of a future episode and provide, for example, a drug administration protocol or administer a drug based on this analysis.
- An input device (not shown) may be used by the patient or another person to indicate when a particular episode is occurring so that, for example, the data storage and controller module 258 , processing circuit 109 , and/or analyzer 152 can tag the data as resulting from a particular episode, for use in further analyses.
- the drug delivery system 250 may be capable of providing on-going drug sensitivity feedback.
- the data from the sensor 252 obtained during the administration of the drug by the drug administration system 260 may provide data about the individual patient's response to the drug which can then be used to modify the current drug administration protocol accordingly, both immediately and in the future.
- An example of desirable data that can be extracted for each patient includes the patient's characteristic time constant for response to drug administration (e.g., how rapidly the glucose concentration falls when a known bolus of insulin is administered).
- Another example is the patient's response to administration of various amounts of a drug (e.g., a patient's drug sensitivity curve).
- the same information may be stored by the drug storage and controller module and then used to determine trends in the patient's drug response, which may be used in developing subsequent drug administration protocols, thereby personalizing the drug administration process for the needs of the patient.
