20080214916 | Fluid Delivery With In Vivo Electrochemical Analyte Sensing - One or more therapeutic fluids, such as for example insulin can be delivered to a body. In addition or alternatively, the concentrations of one or more analytes can be measured in vivo. A feedback process can be used to regulate levels of the one or more analytes based on the measurements via delivery of the one or more therapeutic fluids. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 09-04-2008 |
20080281290 | Reciprocating Delivery Of Fluids To The Body With Analyte Concentration Monitoring - A volume of an analyte-enriched fluid can be withdrawn out of a user's subcutaneous compartment using a patch unit that includes a reversible pumping mechanism. The volume can be withdrawn out of the body and into the patch unit through a cannula inserted into the subcutaneous compartment so that an analyte concentration in the volume can be measured using a sensing element within the patch unit. After analyte concentration analysis, at least the volume can be delivered back into the subcutaneous compartment by operating the pumping mechanism in a forward direction. biologically compatible fluid can optionally be pumped into the subcutaneous compartment from a reservoir in the patch unit and then allowed to partially or completely equilibrate with the analyte concentration in the interstitial fluid of the subcutaneous compartment via a permeable or semi-permeable cannula surface before being drawn back into the patch unit for analysis. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 11-13-2008 |

The system includes a dispensing apparatus configured to infuse fluid into the body of the patient and a sensing apparatus configured to be in communication with the dispensing apparatus and further configured to detect a level of analyte concentration in the body of the patient upon diffusion of the analyte into the fluid to be dispensed by the dispensing apparatus. | 09-23-2010 |
20100249558 | Hypodermic Optical Monitoring of Bodily Analyte - Disclosed is a skin adherable device for monitoring analytes in interstitial fluid. The device includes an electromagnetic radiation emitting source and a transmitter for transmitting the electromagnetic radiation between the electromagnetic radiation emitting source and the interstitial fluid. The device further includes a detector, operating electronics and a power supply. The device may include a reusable part and a disposable part. | 09-30-2010 |
20100298764 | Fluid delivery system with optical sensing of analyte concentration levels - A system for continuous monitoring of body analytes and controlling delivery of fluids to a body of a user. The system includes a sensing apparatus configured to detect concentration level of analyte in the body of the user using optical means and a dispensing apparatus configured to infuse fluid into the body of the user based on the detected concentration level of analyte. | 11-25-2010 |
20140094746 | Fluid Delivery System With Electrochemical Sensing Of Analyte Concentration Levels - A system and a method for delivering fluid to and sensing analyte levels in the body of the patient are disclosed. The system includes a dispensing apparatus configured to infuse fluid into the body of the patient and a sensing apparatus configured to be in communication with the dispensing apparatus and further configured to detect a level of analyte concentration in the body of the patient. | 04-03-2014 |
