Embodiment Construction

[0059] see figure 1 with figure 2 , which shows various embodiments of the physiological parameter detection device involved in the present invention. Preferably, the detection device comprises a physiological sensor arranged at the tip of a transcutaneous element which is injected into the skin of a person wearing the device. The types of fluids which can be sampled and extracted by the device of the present invention include blood, interstitial fluid, and other bodily fluids. Medical conditions that the fluid delivery devices of the present invention may be used to treat include, but are not limited to, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, pain, chronic pain, cancer, AIDS, neurological disease, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, hepatitis, Parkinson's disease Or cramps. Physiological states that may be sampled by the devices of the present invention include, but are not limited to, blood glucose levels, blood gas levels, body temperature, exposure to an external agent, allergic reac...

Abstract

A device for monitoring a physiological parameter of a person includes a sensor device for measuring a physiological parameter associated with the person; a processor for processing measurements of the physiological parameter generated by the sensor device; a transcutaneous member coupled between the sensor device and the processor, including a penetrating member at a distal end thereof for piercing the skin of the person; a housing containing the sensor device, the transcutaneous member and the processor, the housing including an exit port for receiving the distal end of the transcutaneous member upon injection of the distal end into the person and means for securing a first wall of the housing to the skin of the person; and an injection activation device including a driving mechanism contacting the transcutaneous member for driving the penetrating member from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, external to the housing and into the skin of the person.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices for detecting physiological parameters of patients, and in particular to small, disposable, portable patient-wearable devices with automatic percutaneous injection devices, which can be used to detect physiological parameters and can be safely and simply passed through Transdermal delivery of fluid medications and non-fluid therapeutic devices to patients. In particular, the present invention relates to a transcutaneous assembly that allows safe and automatic placement of a transcutaneous element including a sensor assembly without the need to deploy sharp, contaminated needles. Background technique [0002] There are many physiological states that require constant or periodic monitoring to ensure that patients suffering from a particular state receive appropriate attention in the event of potentially damaging physiological changes. Often, in response to physiological changes, patients require medication to com...
