Embodiment Construction

[0196] The following description and examples illustrate in detail certain exemplary embodiments of the disclosed invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that there are numerous variations and modifications of the invention which are within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the description of certain exemplary embodiments should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0197] Sensor Systems and Applicators

[0198] figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a continuous analyte sensor system 100 attached to a host and in communication with a number of other exemplary devices 110-113. A transdermal analyte sensor system is shown that includes an on-skin sensor assembly 600 secured to the skin of a host via a disposable housing (not shown). The system includes a transdermal analyte sensor 200 and an electronics unit (interchangeably referred to as "sensor electronics" or "transmitter") 500 for wirelessly transmitting analyte information to a receive...

Abstract

The present embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present embodiments provide sensor applicators and methods of use with pushbutton activation that implant the sensor, withdraw the insertion needle, engage the transmitter with the housing, and disengage the applicator from the housing, all in one smooth motion. Some embodiments contemplate engagement of the transmitter with the housing after release of the applicator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention provides systems and methods for measuring analytes in a host. More specifically, the present invention provides systems and methods for applying a transdermal analyte measurement system to a host. Background technique [0002] Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (type 1 or insulin-dependent) and / or insulin has no effect (type 2 or non-insulin-dependent). In the diabetic state, the victim suffers from high blood sugar, which can cause a series of physiological disturbances related to the degeneration of small blood vessels, such as kidney failure, skin ulcers or hemorrhages in the vitreous of the eyes. Hypoglycemic reactions (hypoglycemia) can be induced by occasional excess insulin, or after normal doses of insulin or blood sugar lowering agents with extraordinary exercise or insufficient food intake. [0003] Often, people with diabetes carry self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG)...
