Abstract
Method and apparatus for inserting at least a portion of a sensor into a patient is provided.
Description
- Analyte monitoring systems generally include a sensor such as a subcutaneous analyte sensor, at least a portion of which is inserted under the skin for fluid contact with interstitial fluid, for detecting analyte levels such as glucose levels, a transmitter (such as an RF transmitter) in communication with the sensor and configured to receive the sensor signals and to transmit them to a corresponding receiver unit by for example, using RF data transmission protocol. The receiver may be operatively coupled to a glucose monitor that performs glucose related calculations and data analysis.
- The transmitter is in signal communication with the sensor. Generally, the sensor is configured to detect and measure the glucose levels of the patient over a predetermined period of time, and the transmitter is configured to transmit data corresponding to or associated with the measured glucose levels over the predetermined period of time for further analysis. To initially deploy the sensor so that the sensor contacts and electrodes are in fluid contact with the patient's analyte fluids, a separate deployment mechanism such as a sensor inserter or introducer is used. More specifically, the introducer includes a sharp needle shaped inserter that is configured to pierce through the skin of the patient and substantially concurrently guide the sensor through the patient's skin so as to place at least a portion of the sensor in fluid contact with the target biological fluid of the patient.
- The inserter is typically used only during the sensor insertion process, and once the sensor is properly and accurately positioned, the inserter and the introducer are discarded. This requires a level of care as the inserter is sharp and may damage other parts of the patient's skin if not properly handled. Further, since the tip of the inserter has come into fluid contact with the patient's biological fluids, it is important to take particular precautions in the handling of the inserter.
- Further, to minimize data errors in the continuous or semi-continuous monitoring system, it is important to properly insert the sensor through the patient's skin and securely retain the sensor during the time that the sensor is configured to detect analyte levels. Additionally, for the period of continuous or semi-continuous monitoring which can include, for example, 3 days, 5 days or 7 days, it is important to have the transmitter in proper signal contact with the analyte sensor so as to minimize the potential errors in the monitored data.
- In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to have method and apparatus for providing simple, easy to handle and accurate sensor introduction and retention mechanism for use in an analyte monitoring system. More specifically, it would be desirable to have method and apparatus that minimizes the number of components which the patient has to handle, and which also reduces the number of required steps to properly and accurately position the analyte sensor in fluid contact with the patient's analytes.
- In one embodiment, there is provided a method and apparatus for providing an a sensor introduction and retention mechanism for use in continuous or semi-continuous monitoring systems such as analyte monitoring systems which includes a sensor loaded insertion device which is configured to align and correspondingly mate with a base section disposed on the patient's skin (such as for example, a transmitter mount unit provided on an adhesive patch that is attached or otherwise fixedly positioned on the desired location on the patient's skin).
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the base section is provided with a receiving structure that is configured to align with a corresponding section of the insertion device so as to accurately position the sensor relative to the patient's skin for proper insertion through the skin of the patient. In one aspect, the activation of the pre-loaded trigger mechanism by the patient displaces the sensor in the insertion device from the insertion device and places at least a portion of the sensor in fluid contact with the patient's analytes. Upon sensor deployment, the insertion device may be removed from the base section and discarded (in case of disposable insertion devices), while the base section may be configured to retain the sensor in proper position until the transmitter unit is mounted or coupled to the base section so as to be in signal contact with the deployed sensor.

FIG. 1 , as discussed in further detail below, thereceiving structure 104 in one embodiment of the present invention is configured to align the insertion device (for example, thesleeve portion 103 of the insertion device so as to accurately position the sensor and the sensor introducer prior to the insertion process. That is, thesleeve portion 103 of the insertion device is configured to substantially mate or securely latch with thereceiving structure 104 such that, upon placement of a predefined length of thesleeve portion 103 in thereceiving structure 104, the insertion device is securely positioned with the sensor and the introducer aligned for proper subcutaneous placement in the patient. - In this manner, in one embodiment of the present invention, the patient may easily and with relative simple process, accurately position the sensor for placement under the skin layer. Moreover, in one embodiment, the insertion device is configured to predefine the depth of insertion of the introducer and sensor. As discussed in further detail below, in one embodiment of the present invention, after positioning the
sleeve portion 103 of the insertion device so as to be aligned with thereceiving structure 104, the patient applies pressure upon thehandle portion 101 of the insertion device which in turn displaces thebody portion 102 of the insertion device (which also correspondingly moves the sensor and the introducer provided therein). - When the
body portion 102 of the insertion device has traveled a predetermined distance in response to the applied pressure on thehandle portion 101 of the insertion device, in one embodiment, thebody portion 102 is configured to so that additional application of pressure on thehandle portion 101 of the insertion device will not displace the body portion 102 (and thus the introducer and the sensor). Accordingly, in one embodiment, the patient may conveniently and accurately position the sensor to a desired and/or predetermined depth under the skin, and thus substantially remove significant variation in the sensor insertion depth. - Referring back to
FIG. 1 , in one embodiment of the present invention, when the patient removes the applied pressure on thehandle portion 101 of the insertion device (for example, after fully driving the sensor and introducer to the predetermined depth under the skin layer), a retraction mechanism (not shown) within the insertion device may be configured to automatically withdraw the body portion 102 (as well as the introducer coupled to the body portion) of the insertion device such that the positioned sensor is retained in place while the introducer is removed from the patient. Referring yet again toFIG. 1 , upon retraction of the introducer from the patient, the insertion device may be removed from thereceiving structure 104 and discarded. - Referring yet again to
FIG. 1 , as discussed in further detail in conjunction withFIG. 5 , upon removal of the insertion device, a transmitter unit may be positioned on theadhesive layer 105 such that the electrical contacts on the transmitter unit are in signal communication with the electrodes of the sensor, and where the sensor is in fluid communication with the patient's analytes. - Referring still again to
FIG. 1 , the insertion device may be provided with a spring loaded retraction mechanism with forward biasing, such that, when the patient applies pressure on thehandle portion 101, the body portion (including the introducer and the sensor) are driven substantially towards the patient's skin to pierce the desired location on the skin so that the sensor and the introducer are placed at a predetermined depth under the skin layer. Thereafter, by simply removing the applied pressure on thehandle portion 101 of the insertion device, thebody portion 102 and the coupled introducer are removed or retracted. - In the manner described above, accordance with the various embodiments of the present invention, there are provided simple and easy to use mechanism to position the sensor or any other device accurately with minimal complication. Moreover, with the forward biasing mechanism in the insertion device for automatically retracting the introducer after sensor position, among other features, within the scope of the present invention, the patient may position the sensor and mount the transmitter unit using one hand. Moreover, the receiving
structure 104 provided on theadhesive layer 105 in one embodiment provides simple insertion process without significant visual aid—that is, a patient is able to position the sensor by simply aligning the insertion device with the receivingstructure 104 and drive thehandle portion 102 of the insertion device to accurately position the sensor, remove the introducer, and subsequently couple the transmitter unit so as to be in signal communication with the sensor. - In addition, by reducing the number of components needed for sensor placement, within the scope of the present invention, other benefits such as reduction in material cost, weight, packaging, and associated handling and disposal may be achieved.
