Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a safety mechanism suitable for a continuous blood glucose monitoring system implant and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Some physiological diseases have a long course and are difficult to cure. Real-time monitoring of certain physiological parameters of the host is required to better track treatment. For example, diabetes requires real-time monitoring of the host's blood sugar. Accurate self-monitoring of blood sugar is the key to achieving good blood sugar control. It helps to assess the degree of glucose metabolism disorders in diabetic patients, formulate blood sugar reduction plans, and reflect the effect of blood sugar reduction treatment and guide the adjustment of treatment plans.

[0003] At present, the most commonly used blood glucose meter on the market is the finger blood glucose meter, in which patients need to collect blood glucose from their fingertips to measure their blood glucose levels at that moment. However, this method has the following defects: First, it is impossible to know the changes in blood glucose levels between two measurements, and patients may miss blood glucose peaks and valleys, which may cause some complications and irreversible damage to patients; Second, multiple fingertip punctures and blood draws every day cause great pain to diabetic patients. In order to overcome the above defects, it is necessary to provide a method for continuously monitoring patients' blood glucose, so that patients can understand their blood glucose status in real time and take timely countermeasures accordingly, so as to effectively control the disease, prevent complications, and obtain a higher quality of life.

[0004] In response to the above needs, technicians have developed a monitoring technology that can be implanted in subcutaneous tissue to continuously monitor subcutaneous blood sugar. This technology involves inserting a sensor electrode into the subcutaneous tissue. The sensor electrode undergoes an oxidation reaction with glucose in the patient's interstitial fluid, forming an electrical signal. The electrical signal is converted into a blood sugar reading through a transmitter, and the blood sugar reading is transmitted to a wireless receiver every 1 to 5 minutes. The corresponding blood sugar data is displayed on the wireless receiver and a graph is formed for reference by patients and doctors.

[0005] Most existing implanters are triggered by buttons. During packaging and transportation, the implanter may be triggered by mistake due to collision with the button, causing the implanter to fail. During use, the implanter may be triggered prematurely due to improper operation by personnel. In mild cases, the implanter may fail. In severe cases, the puncture needle extending from the implanter may easily cause harm to personnel. For this reason, existing implanters are equipped with a safety mechanism. When using, the safety mechanism must be unlocked before the implanter can be triggered by a button. However, most existing safety mechanisms are separately arranged. When unlocking the safety mechanism, one needs to hold the implanter with one hand and unlock the safety mechanism with the other hand before triggering the implanter. Such operation is not very convenient and results in a poor user experience. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a safety mechanism and a method of using the same, which can achieve one-handed unlocking and triggering of the implanter, thereby improving the user experience by improving the convenience of operation.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a safety mechanism is configured on the housing of the implanter, a driving member is configured inside the housing of the implanter, and the safety mechanism includes a trigger member and a safety member attached to the distal end of the trigger member;

[0008] The safety member is configured to rotate from a first position to a second position when a force is applied, and to form an operable cavity between a distal end of the trigger member and a housing of the implanter when the safety member rotates from the first position to the second position.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the safety component and the trigger component are an integrated structure.

[0010] In the above technical solution, a weak connection portion is formed between the safety component and the trigger component.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the safety component is configured to close the cavity when in the first position, and to open the cavity when in the second position.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the trigger member is configured to move in the housing of the implanter in a direction toward the proximal end to trigger the driving member.

[0013] In the above technical solution, a groove is formed in the shell of the implanter, the cavity is formed in the groove, the opening edge of the groove extends along the proximal direction to form a guide rail, the trigger member is confined in the guide rail, and the distal end of the trigger member is located in the groove.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the driving member includes a substrate and a driving housing configured on the substrate, and the driving housing is configured to move in a direction toward the distal end in response to a triggering action of the triggering member.

[0015] In the above technical solution, two mirror-symmetrical elastic limit pins are formed on the drive shell extending in the direction toward the proximal end, and a hook is formed on the proximal end of each of the two elastic limit pins. Two limit columns corresponding to the hooks are formed on the base plate, and the hooks are overlapped on the limit columns. The trigger component is configured to make the hook detach from the limit column during the process of moving in the direction toward the proximal end.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the hook portion is formed on the inner surface of the elastic limiting pin, the limiting column is formed between two elastic limiting pins, and the two elastic limiting pins have a tendency to approach each other.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the proximal end of the elastic limit pin is formed with a guide slope extending from the edge of the hook portion in the direction toward the proximal end and approaching inward, and the proximal end of the trigger member is configured to act on the guide slope to drive the elastic limit pin outward until the hook portion disengages from the limit column.

[0018] In the above technical solution, a guide column extending in the direction toward the distal end is formed on the substrate, the drive housing is sleeved on the guide column, and an energy storage component is arranged between the drive housing and the guide column, and the energy storage component provides a force to push the drive housing in the direction toward the distal end.

[0019] The present invention also provides a method for using a safety mechanism, comprising pressing a safety component to form an operable cavity between a housing of an implanter and a distal end of a trigger component, and inserting a finger into the cavity to hook the trigger component in a proximal direction to a trigger drive component.

[0020] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0021] 1. The present invention configures a reversible safety component at the distal end of the trigger component. Only when the safety component is pressed and turned over to expose the operable cavity can the driving component be triggered by hooking the trigger component to realize the implantation of the implanter, which plays a good protective role and effectively prevents the trigger component from causing failure of the implanter or causing harm to personnel due to mis-triggering;

[0022] 2. The present invention is conducive to the one-handed operation of the implanter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following description and examples describe some exemplary embodiments of the disclosed invention in detail. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention has many variations and modifications encompassed by its scope. Therefore, the description of a certain exemplary embodiment should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

[0038] See also Figure 1, is a schematic diagram of a continuous blood glucose monitoring system attached to a host 100. The figure shows a continuous blood glucose monitoring system including an on-skin sensor assembly 200, which is fixed to the skin of the host 100 via a disposable sensor base 230. The system includes a sensor electrode 210 and a transmitter 220 for sending blood glucose information monitored by the sensor electrode 210 to a receiver 300, which can generally be a smart phone, a smart watch, a dedicated device, and the like. During use, the sensor electrode 210 is partially located below the skin of the host 100, and the sensor electrode 210 is electrically connected to the transmitter 220. The transmitter 220 is engaged with a sensor base 230, which is attached to an adhesive patch 240 and fixed to the skin of the host 100 via the adhesive patch 240.

[0039] The sensor assembly 200 can be applied to the skin surface of the host 100 with an implanter 400, which is adapted to provide a convenient and safe implantation operation. Such an implanter 400 can also be used to insert the sensor electrode 210 through the skin of the host 100. Once the sensor electrode 210 has been inserted, the implanter 400 is detached from the sensor assembly 200.

[0040] Sensor assembly 200

[0041] See also Figure 2 , a structure of a sensor assembly 200 is shown, which includes a disposable sensor base 230, a sensor electrode 210 configured on the sensor base 230, and a transmitter 220 coupled to the sensor base 230. An adhesive patch 240 is attached to the lower surface of the sensor base 230, and the sensor base 230 is fixed to the skin of the host 100 through the adhesive patch 240. In one embodiment, the transmitter 220 is snap-fitted to the sensor base 230.

[0042] In one embodiment, a release layer (not shown in the figure) is pre-attached to the adhesive patch 240. When the sensor assembly 200 needs to be used, the release layer is first torn off, and then the sensor base 230 is attached to the skin of the host 100 through the adhesive patch 240.

[0043] For example, adhesive patch 240 may be a medical non-woven tape.

[0044] For example, the release layer is made of release paper or release film, and a layer of release agent is coated on the surface.

[0045] One end of the sensor electrode 210 passes through the sensor base 230 and is partially exposed on the lower surface of the sensor base 230, and the other end is located in the sensor base 230, and the exposed part enters the skin of the host 100 to reach the interstitial fluid of the subcutaneous tissue to react with glucose in the body to generate an electrical signal. In one embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, an electrode holder 250 is attached to the other end of the sensor electrode 210, and the other end of the sensor electrode 210 is fixed in the electrode holder 250. Two flexible conductive sheets 251 are arranged in the electrode holder 250, and the two flexible conductive sheets 251 are electrically connected to the working electrode and the reference electrode of the sensor electrode 210 respectively. Two electrode terminals 252 are also arranged on the electrode holder 250, and the two electrode terminals 252 are electrically connected to the two flexible conductive sheets 251 respectively. The sensor electrode 210 transmits the monitored blood glucose data to the transmitter 220 through the electrode terminals 252.

[0046] See also Figure 4 As shown, the transmitter 220 includes a transmitter housing 221 and an integrated circuit module 222 disposed in the transmitter housing 221. The received blood glucose data is processed by the integrated circuit module 222 and wirelessly transmitted to the receiver 300. Two data receiving terminals 223 are disposed on the lower surface of the transmitter housing 221. The data receiving terminals 223 are electrically connected to the integrated circuit module 222 and serve as data input terminals of the integrated circuit module 222. When the transmitter 220 is coupled to the sensor base 230, the two data receiving terminals 223 are electrically connected to the two electrode terminals 252 respectively to form a data transmission path.

[0047] See also Figure 5 As shown, the sensor assembly 200 also includes a battery module 260 for supplying power to the integrated circuit module 222 of the transmitter 220. In one embodiment, the battery module 260 is configured in the sensor base 230, which includes a battery base 231, a battery 232 embedded in the battery base 231, and a battery cover 233 configured on the battery base 231 to close the battery 232. Two power supply terminals 234 are configured on the edge of the battery cover 233 on the battery base 231. The two power supply terminals 234 are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the battery 232, respectively. The battery module 260 outputs electrical energy through the two power supply terminals 234. Correspondingly, two power receiving terminals 224 are also configured on the lower surface of the transmitter housing 221. The power receiving terminals 224 are electrically connected to the integrated circuit module 222 and serve as the power input terminal of the integrated circuit module 222. When the transmitter 220 is coupled to the sensor base 230, the two power receiving terminals 224 are electrically connected to the two power supply terminals 234, respectively, to form a power supply path.

[0048] Implant

[0049] See also Figure 6 As shown, the external structure of the implanter 400 is shown, and the implanter 400 includes a shell 410 and a driving member configured in the shell 410, wherein a safety mechanism 420 is configured on the shell 410, and the safety mechanism includes a trigger member 430 and a safety member 440 attached to the distal end of the trigger member 430; the safety member 440 is configured to rotate from a first position to a second position when a force is applied, and when the safety member 440 rotates from the first position to the second position, an operable cavity 450 is formed between the distal end of the trigger member 430 and the shell of the implanter 400.

[0050] See also Figure 7 As shown, the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430 may be an integral structure, and a weak connection portion 460 is formed between the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430. For example, the weak connection portion 460 may be pre-cut between the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430, so that only a small part of the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430 are connected, and the pre-cut position is located on the side of the safety mechanism that is away from the rotation direction of the safety member 440. The weak connection portion 460 has a certain bending toughness, so that the safety member 440 will not be broken with the trigger member 430 when rotating from the first position to the second position.

[0051] See also Figure 8As shown, the above-mentioned cavity 450 is a cavity 450 pre-set on the outer shell of the implanter 400, a groove 470 is formed in the outer shell of the implanter 400, the cavity 450 is located in the groove 470, the opening edge of the groove 470 extends along the direction toward the proximal end to form a guide rail 480, the trigger member 430 is confined in the guide rail 480 and is allowed to move freely in the guide rail 480, and the distal end of the trigger member 430 is located in the groove 470, and the distal end of the trigger member 430 serves as the force-bearing end. When the safety member 440 is in the first position, the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430 are in the same plane. At this time, the safety member 440 closes the cavity 450, and the distal end of the trigger member 430 is temporarily unable to bear force because it is blocked by the safety member 440; when the safety member 440 is in the second position, the safety member 440 rotates at least 90° around the trigger member 430. At this time, the cavity 450 is opened, and the distal end of the trigger member 430 is also exposed. The cavity 450 allows a finger to extend and hook the trigger member 430, so that the trigger member 430 moves along the direction toward the proximal end to the trigger drive member. When the safety member 440 is in the first position, the outer surface of the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430 is lower than the outer surface of the shell of the implanter 400. Therefore, during the packaging and transportation of the implanter 400, the shell of the implanter 400 plays a role in protecting the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430, so that the safety member 440 and the trigger member 430 will not be touched. To ensure that the safety component 440 can rotate at least 90°, the depth of the groove 470 must be greater than the length of the safety component 440, thereby ensuring that the safety component 440 will not touch the bottom surface of the groove 470 during the rotation process and can smoothly rotate more than 90°. At this time, it is beneficial for the finger to hook the distal end of the trigger component 430, which facilitates the force and improves the reliability of the operation.

[0052] See also Fig. 9 As shown, the driving member includes a base plate 490 and a driving housing 491 disposed on the base plate 490, and the driving housing 491 is configured to move in the direction toward the distal end in response to the triggering action of the triggering member 430. For example, two mirror-symmetrical elastic stop pins 492 are formed on the driving housing 491 extending in the direction toward the proximal end, and a hook portion 493 is formed at the proximal end of each of the two elastic stop pins 492. Two stop columns 494 corresponding to the hook portions 493 are formed on the base plate 490, and the hook portions 493 overlap the stop columns 494. When the triggering member 430 moves in the direction toward the proximal end, the hook portions 493 are separated from the stop columns 494.

[0053] Please continue to see Fig. 9As shown, in one embodiment, the trigger member 430 can be triggered from the inside, for example, the hook 493 is formed on the inner surface of the elastic stop pin 492, and the stop column 494 is formed between the two elastic stop pins 492, and the two elastic stop pins 492 have a tendency to approach each other. The proximal end of the elastic stop pin 492 is formed with a guide slope 495 extending from the edge of the hook 493 in the direction toward the proximal end and approaching inward, and the proximal end of the trigger member 430 acts on the guide slope 495 during the movement and drives the elastic stop pin 492 outward until the hook 493 is separated from the stop column 494. A guide column 496 extending in the direction toward the distal end is formed on the substrate 490, and the drive housing 491 is sleeved on the guide column 496, and an energy storage component 497 is arranged between the drive housing 491 and the guide column 496, and the energy storage component 497 provides a force to push the drive housing 491 in the direction toward the distal end. For example, the energy storage component 497 may be a spring.

[0054] See also Fig.10 As shown, in another embodiment, the trigger member 430 can also be triggered from the outside, for example, the hook portion 493 is formed on the outer surface of the elastic stop pin 492, and the stop posts 494 are respectively formed outside the two elastic stop pins 492, and the two elastic stop pins 492 have a tendency to move away from each other. The proximal end of the elastic stop pin 492 is formed with a guide slope 495 extending from the edge of the hook portion 493 in the direction toward the proximal end and opening outward. At this time, the proximal end of the trigger member 430 forms a U-shaped fork arm. When the trigger member 430 moves in the direction toward the proximal end, the fork arm acts on the two guide slopes 495 respectively and drives the elastic stop pin 492 inward until the hook portion 493 is separated from the stop post 494.

[0055] In the above two embodiments, the trigger member 430 is located above the elastic limit pin 492 during the process of moving in the proximal direction. For example, the plane where the trigger member 430 is located is parallel to the plane where the elastic limit pin 492 is located. Accordingly, in order to enable the proximal end of the trigger member 430 to act on the guide slope 495, the height of the guide slope 495 is greater than the height of the elastic limit pin 492. At this time, the proximal end of the trigger member 430 can act on the portion of the guide slope 495 that is higher than the elastic limit pin 492. The trigger member 430 does not interfere with the elastic limit pin 492 during the movement, thereby ensuring that the trigger member 430 can move smoothly.

[0056] See also Fig.11As shown, in order to prevent the trigger member 430 from moving in the guide rail 480 in the direction toward the proximal end during the packaging and transportation of the implanter 400, a stopper 431 is formed on the outer surface of the trigger member 430, and accordingly, a paddle 481 is formed in the guide rail 480. During the packaging and transportation of the implanter 400, the paddle 481 can act on the stopper 431 to prevent the trigger member 430 from moving in the direction toward the proximal end. When the implanter 400 is used, the resistance of the paddle 481 to the stopper 431 can be easily overcome by applying force to the distal end of the trigger member 430 with a finger, and the trigger member 430 is hooked in the direction toward the proximal end to trigger the driving member.

[0057] See also Fig.12 As shown, when the implanter 400 is in use, the user first holds the housing of the implanter 400 by hand, and then uses the tip of the index finger, for example, to press the safety component 440 so that the safety component 440 rotates around the distal end of the trigger component 430 to be located below the trigger component 430. Then, the index finger is hooked to move the trigger component 430 in the proximal direction until the proximal end of the trigger component 430 acts on, for example, the guide slope 495 of the drive housing, so that the hook 493 of the drive housing is disengaged from the limiting column 494. At this time, the drive component is triggered, and the energy storage element pushes the drive housing to move in the distal direction. At this point, the triggering action is completed.

[0058] The far and near in "distal end", "proximal end", "distal end" and "proximal end" referred to in the present invention refer to the implantation direction of the sensor electrode during the implantation of the sensor electrode. Specifically, the initial implantation position of the sensor electrode is defined as near, and the final implantation position of the sensor electrode is defined as far.
