Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of biomedical engineering industry, in particular to an application device for medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] There are usually multiple analytes in the tissue fluid or blood of the human body. When the analyte concentration (such as glucose concentration) in the body is too high or too low, the health of the human body may be abnormal. Therefore, in order to timely understand the analyte concentration in the body so as to adjust the analyte concentration level in time by adjusting diet or applying drug treatment, the analyte concentration in the body is often obtained in real time and continuously through a continuous analyte monitor.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to ensure that the power supply of a continuous analyte monitor can provide sufficient and long-lasting electrical energy to the continuous analyte monitor as much as possible so that the continuous analyte monitor has a desired working life, a switch is usually provided on the continuous analyte monitor to switch between the standby state and the working state of the continuous analyte monitor, so as to reduce the power consumption due to the continuous analyte monitor starting monitoring too early, thereby affecting the working life of the continuous analyte monitor.

[0004] However, the continuous analyte monitor in the prior art generally realizes the switching function by adding additional semiconductor components. These semiconductor components may cause leakage current in the power supply of the continuous analyte monitor, thereby shortening the shelf life of the continuous analyte monitor. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model is proposed in view of the above-mentioned prior art conditions, and its purpose is to provide a medical device application device capable of extending the shelf life of the medical device.

[0006] To this end, the utility model provides an application device for a medical device, which is an application device for applying the medical device to a host, wherein the medical device includes a sensor and an electronic component, the electronic component includes a power module and a switch module, the power module is configured to provide electrical energy, the switch module is configured to control the power module, the switch module includes a plurality of contacts and has a closed state and an open state, and there is a gap between every two of the plurality of contacts; the application device includes a guide member, the guide member is configured to guide the sensor to be at least partially applied to the host, and when the guide member moves relative to the electronic component, the guide member cooperates with the plurality of contacts of the switch module to switch the switch module between the closed state and the open state.

[0007] In the utility model, by arranging a power module, a switch module, and a plurality of contacts on the switch module on the electronic component, and arranging a guide member on the application device, when the medical device is used (for example, when the application device applies the medical device), the guide member moves relative to the electronic component, so that the guide member cooperates with the plurality of contacts on the electronic component, changes the contact between the guide member and the electronic component, and switches the switch module between the closed state and the open state. In this case, since the power module is controlled by the switch module, the state of the switch module is switched by the guide member and the contacts that are not in physical contact in space to control the power module, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage current generated by the power supply, and further extending the shelf life of the medical device.

[0008] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the guide member includes a conductive member, and the conductive member is configured to conduct the multiple contacts, wherein when the conductive member contacts the multiple contacts of the switch module, the switch module is in the closed state, and when the conductive member of the guide member does not contact the multiple contacts of the switch module, the switch module is in the open state. In this case, by making the conductive member cooperate with the contact in a way of physically contacting the contact, it is helpful for the guide member to contact the contact, thereby increasing the possibility of conducting the contact.

[0009] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the guide member further includes a support seat and a sharp object, the support seat is configured to clamp the sharp object, the sharp object is configured to at least partially accommodate the sensor, and the conductive member is arranged on the sharp object and fits the support seat. In this case, since the conductive member is arranged on the sharp object and fits the support seat, the structure of the guide member can be made compact.

[0010] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the guide member further includes a sharp object, the sharp object is configured to at least partially accommodate the sensor, and the sharp object and the conductive member are integrally formed. Thus, the structure of the application device can be simplified.

[0011] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, each of the contacts has a groove, and the groove is configured to accommodate the conductive member, and the contour of the groove matches the contour of the portion of the conductive member that contacts the contact. In this case, by accommodating the conductive member in the groove so that the conductive member contacts the contact, it is possible to limit the conductive member from unexpected movement when the switch module is in a closed state, so that the conductive member is disconnected from the contact, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device. In addition, by matching the contour of the groove with the contour of the contact portion, the conductive member can be made to fit more closely with the groove, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device.

[0012] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the conductive member is in the form of a sheet. In this case, it is convenient for the conductive member to be accommodated in the groove, and the contact area with the contact point can be increased to improve the stability of the conductive contact point.

[0013] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the electronic component has a mounting position, the mounting position is configured to allow the guide member to pass through and be mounted on the electronic component, and at least part of each of the contacts is located at the mounting position. In this case, since at least part of the contacts are located at the mounting position, it is possible to facilitate the cooperation between the guide member and the contacts when the guide member is installed on the electronic component.

[0014] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the plurality of contacts and the conductive member are arranged along the direction in which the guide member is installed into the electronic component. In this case, since the contacts and the conductive member are arranged along the direction in which the guide member is installed into the electronic component, when the application device completes the application of the medical device and withdraws the guide member, the conductive member on the guide member can be disconnected from the contacts while the guide member is withdrawn, so that the switch module can be switched to the disconnected state more quickly.

[0015] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the initial state of the switch module is the closed state, so that the electronic component is in the off mode, and the switch module is configured to put the electronic component in the working mode when it is in the disconnected state for the first time; or the initial state of the switch module is the disconnected state, so that the electronic component is in the off mode, and the switch module is configured to put the electronic component in the working mode when it is in the closed state for the first time. Thus, the mode of the electronic component can be changed by changing the state of the switch module.

[0016] In addition, in the application device of the medical device involved in the utility model, optionally, the electronic component also includes a processing module and a controller, and the processing module is configured to process the signal of the sensor; when the switch module is in the closed state, the controller is configured to control the power supply module to stop supplying power to the processing module, or the controller is configured to send a shutdown signal to the processing module to power off the processing module; when the switch module is in the open state for the first time, the controller is configured to stop controlling the power supply module, or the controller is configured to stop sending the shutdown signal to the processing module to power on the processing module; the processing module is also configured to put the power supply module in a locking mode when the processing module is powered on to enable the processing module to power on.

[0045] The application device of the utility model switches the electronic components of the medical device to the working mode by relative movement of the guide member and the medical device. In addition, the application device of the utility model can change the physical contact between the contact points of the guide member and the electronic component by relative movement of the guide member and the medical device, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage current generated by the power supply, thereby extending the shelf life of the medical device and improving the reliability of the medical device.

[0046] In some examples, the application device involved in the present invention may also be called a booster device, a transport device, an implant device, an application device or an auxiliary device, etc. In addition, the medical device involved in the present invention may also be called a monitor, a continuous analyte monitor, a detection device, a sensor assembly or an information collection device.

[0047] Hereinafter, the application device of the medical instrument involved in the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Figure 1 2 is a diagram showing an application scenario of the medical device 2 involved in the example of the present utility model. Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the applying device 1 and the guide member 11 involved in the example of the present utility model.

[0049] For some examples, see Figure 1 , the application device 1 can be used to apply the medical device 2 to the host. For example, the application device 1 can be used to apply the medical device 2 to the skin surface of the host.

[0050] In some examples, the medical device 2 may be a sensing device. In some examples, the medical device 2 may be an analyte sensor device. In some examples, the medical device 2 may be configured to generate information about a specific analyte in the body fluid based on the host's body fluid (e.g., subcutaneous interstitial fluid), such as reacting with an analyte in the interstitial fluid and generating analyte information. In this case, the medical device 2 reacts with the analyte in the body fluid, so that the analyte information in the body fluid can be easily obtained.

[0051] In some examples, the analyte can be one or more of glucose, acetylcholine, amylase, bilirubin, cholesterol, chorionic gonadotropin, creatine kinase, creatine, creatinine, DNA, fructosamine, glutamine, growth hormone, hormones, ketone bodies, lactate, oxygen, peroxide, prostate-specific antigen, prothrombin, RNA, thyroid-stimulating hormone, or troponin.

[0052] In some examples, the medical device 2 can send the analyte information to the external device 3. Thus, it is convenient for the host to obtain the analyte information. In some examples, the medical device 2 can send the analyte information to the external device 3 by wireless transmission. In addition, the external device 3 can be a mobile smart terminal.

[0053] For some examples, see Figure 2 , the application device 1 may include a guide member 11. In some examples, the guide member 11 may be configured to guide the application of the medical device 2 to the host. In some examples, the guide member 11 may be at least partially accommodated in the medical device 2.

[0054] In some examples, when the application device 1 and the medical device 2 are in the shelf life (ie, when shipped from the factory), the guide member 11 and at least a portion of the medical device 2 may be located inside the application device 1 .

[0055] In some examples, guide member 11 can pass through and be mounted on medical device 2. In some examples, guide member 11 can guide at least a portion of medical device 2 to be applied subcutaneously to a host.

[0056] In some examples, the application device 1 may have a proximal end that is close to the host during operation, and a distal end that is away from the host. In some examples, when the application device 1 applies the medical device 2, the application device 1 may apply a force toward the proximal end to the guide member 11 and the medical device 2. Thus, the guide member 11 and the medical device 2 can be moved toward the proximal end of the application device 1 to apply the medical device 2 to the host.

[0057] In some examples, guide member 11 may remain relatively stationary with medical device 2 as guide member 11 and medical device 2 move toward the proximal end.

[0058] In some examples, when the application device 1 applies the medical device 2 to the host, the medical device 2 can be attached to the host. The application device 1 can apply a force toward the distal end to the guide member 11. Thus, the guide member 11 can move relative to the medical device 2 and toward the distal end of the application device 1.

[0059] For some examples, see Figure 2 The application direction D may be the moving direction of the medical device 2 when the application device 1 applies the medical device 2. In some examples, the application direction D may be a direction from a distal end away from the host toward a proximal end close to the host.

[0060] Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a guide member 11 according to an example of the present invention.

[0061] In some examples, the guide member 11 can be configured to guide the sensor 22 (described later) to be at least partially applied to the host. In some examples, the guide member 11 can be movable relative to the electronic component 21 (described later) of the medical device 2.

[0062] In some examples, the guide member 11 may cooperate with a contact 2151 (described later) of the switch module 215 to switch the state of the switch module 215. Specifically, the guide member 11 may be in contact with the contact 2151 of the switch module 215 or not.

[0063] In some examples, at least a portion of the guide member 11 may be made of a conductive material. In some examples, a portion of the guide member 11 that contacts the contacts 2151 of the switch module 215 may be made of a conductive material. Thus, the guide member 11 can conduct the plurality of contacts 2151 of the switch module 215.

[0064] For some examples, see Figure 3 , the guide member 11 may include a conductive member 111. In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be configured to conduct the plurality of contacts 2151. In other words, the guide member 11 may contact the contacts 2151 through the conductive member 111.

[0065] In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be in a sheet shape, so that the conductive member 111 can be easily accommodated in the groove 21511 (described later), and the contact area with the contact 2151 can be increased to improve the stability of the conductive contact 2151.

[0066] In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be in a block shape, thereby making it difficult for the conductive member 111 to deform, thereby facilitating the coordination with the contact 2151 .

[0067] In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be made of a conductive material, so that the conductive member 111 can conduct the contact 2151 .

[0068] In some examples, the conductive member 111 may contact the multiple contacts 2151 of the switch module 215. Thus, the switch module 215 can be in a closed state. In some examples, the conductive member 111 may not contact the multiple contacts 2151 of the switch module 215. Thus, the switch module 215 can be in an open state. In this case, by making the conductive member 111 cooperate with the contacts 2151 in a physical contact manner, it is helpful to guide the member 11 to contact the contacts 2151, thereby increasing the possibility of conducting the contacts 2151.

[0069] For some examples, see Figure 3, the guide member 11 may further include a sharp object 112. In some examples, the sharp object 112 may be configured to guide the sensor 22 to be at least partially applied to the host. In some examples, the sharp object 112 may be fixed to a support seat 113 (described later). In some examples, the sharp object 112 and the support seat 113 may move relative to the electronic component 21 of the medical device 2.

[0070] In some examples, the sharp object 112 can be configured to at least partially accommodate the sensor 22. In some examples, the sharp object 112 can have a receiving groove 1121. In some examples, the receiving groove 1121 of the sharp object 112 can at least partially accommodate the sensor 22. Thus, it can be convenient to apply the sensor 22 to the host.

[0071] In some examples, the end of the sharp object 112 close to the host may be pointed, so that the sharp object 112 can be convenient for guiding the sensor 22 to be applied to the host.

[0072] In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be disposed on the sharp object 112 , so that the conductive member 111 can move relative to the electronic component 21 along with the sharp object 112 .

[0073] In some examples, the conductive member 111 and the sharp object 112 may be integrally formed, thereby simplifying the structure of the application device 1 .

[0074] In some examples, the conductive member 111 and the sharp object 112 may be separate bodies, thereby reducing the possibility that the contact 2151 is mis-conducted by the sharp object 112 .

[0075] For some examples, see Figure 3 The guide member 11 may further include a support seat 113. In some examples, the support seat 113 may be configured to clamp the sharp object 112. Thus, the sharp object 112 can be fixed to the support seat 113.

[0076] As described above, the conductive member 111 may be disposed on the sharp object 112. In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be disposed on the sharp object 112 and fit the support seat 113. Thus, the structure of the guide member 11 may be made compact.

[0077] In some examples, the conductive member 111 may be at least partially embedded in the support seat 113 . Thus, the structure of the guide member 11 can be made compact. In some examples, the support seat 113 may have a groove. The conductive member 111 may be at least partially embedded in the groove of the support seat 113 .

[0078] Figure 4A is a block diagram showing an electronic component 21 involved in an example of the present invention. Figure 4B2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the electronic component 21 involved in the example of the present utility model.

[0079] In some examples, the medical device 2 can include an electronic component 21. In some examples, see Figure 4A , the electronic assembly 21 may include a housing 211. In some examples, see Figure 4B The housing 211 can accommodate the processing module 212 and the power module 213. In this case, the housing 211 can protect the internal components of the electronic component 21, reduce the influence of external interference factors (such as liquid) on the electronic component 21, and thus extend the shelf life of the medical device 2.

[0080] For some examples, see Figure 4A , the electronic component 21 may include a power module 213. In some examples, the power module 213 may be configured to provide electrical energy. For example, the power module 213 may provide power to the electronic component 21.

[0081] In some examples, the power module 213 may include a battery. For example, the battery may be a button cell.

[0082] For some examples, see Figure 4A , the electronic component 21 may include a processing module 212. In some examples, the processing module 212 may be configured to process the signal of the sensor 22. For example, the processing module 212 may process the analyte concentration signal acquired by the sensor 22 to obtain analyte information.

[0083] For some examples, see Figure 4A , the electronic component 21 may have a mounting position 214. In some examples, the mounting position 214 may be configured to allow the guide member 11 to pass through.

[0084] For some examples, see Figure 4B , the mounting position 214 may be in the shape of a hole. In some examples, the mounting position 214 may be a through hole, in other words, the mounting position 214 may pass through the electronic component 21. Thus, it is possible to facilitate the guide member 11 to pass through the mounting position 214 to guide the sensor 22 to be applied to the host.

[0085] Figure 5 Schematic diagram showing the position of the switch module 215 involved in the example of the present utility model.

[0086] For some examples, see Figure 5, the electronic component 21 may include a switch module 215. In some examples, the switch module 215 may be configured to control the power module 213. Specifically, the switch module 215 may switch the state of the power module 213. For example, the switch module 215 may switch the power supply and non-power supply states of the power module 213.

[0087] In some examples, the switch module 215 can have a closed state and an open state.

[0088] In some examples, the switch module 215 may include a plurality of contacts 2151. In some examples, the plurality of contacts 2151 may cooperate with the conductive member 111 to switch between a closed state and an open state of the switch module 215. For example, the conductive member 111 contacts the plurality of contacts 2151, and the switch module 215 may be in a closed state. For another example, the conductive member 111 does not contact the plurality of contacts 2151, and the switch module 215 may be in an open state.

[0089] In some examples, the contact 2151 may be made of a flexible conductive material. In this case, by using a flexible conductive material to make the contact 2151, the fit between the contact 2151 and the conductive member 111 of the guide member 11 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device 2.

[0090] For some examples, see Figure 5 , each contact 2151 may have a groove 21511. In some examples, the groove 21511 may be configured to accommodate the conductive member 111. Thus, when the switch module 215 is in a closed state, the conductive member 111 is restricted from undesired movement and the conductive member 111 is disconnected from the contact 2151, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device 2.

[0091] In some examples, the groove 21511 of the contact 2151 may contact a portion of the conductive member 111. Hereinafter, the portion of the conductive member 111 contacting the groove 21511 is referred to as a contact portion.

[0092] In some examples, the profile of the groove 21511 can match the profile of the contact portion. Specifically, the profile of the contact portion can be similar to the profile of the groove 21511. Thus, the conductive member 111 can be more closely matched with the groove 21511, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device 2.

[0093] In some examples, the size of the contact portion may be slightly larger than the size of the groove 21511. In this case, by forming an interference fit between the contact 2151 and the conductive member 111, the tightness of the contact 2151 and the conductive member 111 can be improved, thereby improving the stability of the conductive member 111 conducting the contact 2151.

[0094] In some examples, the contact 2151 may not have the groove 21511. That is, the contact 2151 may not accommodate the conductive member 111. In this case, by changing the structure of the contact 2151, the spatial restriction of the contact 2151 on the conductive member 111 can be reduced, so that the conductive member 111 can be easily moved and disconnected from the contact 2151.

[0095] In some examples, at least a portion of each contact 2151 may be located at the mounting location 214 . In other words, the contact 2151 may be at least partially located at the mounting location 214 .

[0096] In some examples, one end of the contact 2151 can extend to the mounting location 214. In some examples, see Figure 5 , the groove 21511 portion of the contact 2151 can be located at the installation position 214. Therefore, when the guide member 11 is installed on the electronic component 21, it is convenient for the guide member 11 to cooperate with the contact 2151.

[0097] Fig. 6A 1 is a schematic diagram showing a first embodiment in which the conductive member 111 and the contact 2151 are connected to each other according to an example of the present invention. Figure 6B 1 is a schematic diagram showing a second embodiment in which the conductive member 111 and the contact 2151 according to the example of the present invention are connected.

[0098] For some examples, see Fig. 6A , the groove 21511 of the contact 2151 can partially contact the conductive member 111. Thus, it is convenient for the conductive member 111 to disconnect from the contact 2151.

[0099] For some examples, see Figure 6B , the groove 21511 of the contact 2151 can all be in contact with the conductive member 111. In this case, by increasing the contact area between the conductive member 111 and the contact 2151, the reliability of the medical device 2 can be improved.

[0100] Figure 7 Schematic diagram showing the distribution of the contacts 2151 involved in the example of the present utility model.

[0101] For some examples, see Figure 7 , there may be a gap between every two contacts 2151 in the plurality of contacts 2151. That is, there may be a preset distance between every two contacts 2151. In this case, by spacing the contacts 2151 a certain distance in space, it is possible to prevent the contacts 2151 from physically contacting each other, thereby reducing the possibility of the contacts 2151 being misconnected, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device 2.

[0102] In some examples, the contacts 2151 can be symmetrically distributed on the electronic component 21. In some examples, see Figure 7 , the contacts 2151 can be symmetrically distributed at the mounting position 214.

[0103] In some examples, the contacts 2151 may be asymmetrically distributed on the electronic component 21 .

[0104] For some examples, see Figure 7 , the number of contacts 2151 can be two. For example, Figure 7 In the example shown, the contacts 2151 may include a first contact 2151 a and a second contact 2151 b .

[0105] In some examples, there may be a gap between the first contact 2151a and the second contact 2151b. In this case, by spacing the first contact 2151a and the second contact 2151b a certain distance in space, it is possible to prevent the first contact 2151a and the second contact 2151b from physically contacting each other, thereby reducing the possibility of the first contact 2151a and the second contact 2151b being misconnected, thereby improving the reliability of the medical device 2.

[0106] In some examples, the first contact 2151a and the second contact 2151b may be symmetrically distributed, thereby facilitating the contact 2151 to cooperate with the conductive member 111 .

[0107] In some examples, the number of contacts 2151 can be multiple, such as two, three, four, or more.

[0108] Figure 8 Schematic diagram showing the structure of the sensor 22 involved in the example of the present utility model.

[0109] In some examples, the medical device 2 may further include a sensor 22. In some examples, the sensor 22 may be mounted on the electronic component 21. In some examples, the sensor 22 may be configured to obtain analyte information in the body fluid and transmit the analyte information to the electronic component 21.

[0110] For some examples, see Figure 8 , the sensor 22 may include a connecting portion 221 and an implanting portion 222 .

[0111] In some examples, the connection portion 221 may be configured to be electrically connected to the electronic component 21 , thereby enabling the electronic component 21 to obtain the analyte information of the sensor 22 .

[0112] In some examples, implant portion 222 may be configured to be implanted subcutaneously of a host to react with an analyte in interstitial fluid and obtain information about the analyte in the interstitial fluid.

[0113] In some examples, the implant portion 222 may be flexible, thereby reducing the host's foreign body sensation.

[0114] In some examples, the sharp object 112 of the guide member 11 can be configured to accommodate the implanted portion 222 of the sensor 22. In some examples, the receiving groove 1121 of the guide member 11 can be configured to accommodate the implanted portion 222. In other words, the implanted portion 222 can be located in the receiving groove 1121.

[0115] Fig. 9A 2 is a schematic diagram showing the assembly structure of the guide member 11, the processing module 212, and the sensor 22 involved in the example of the present utility model. Fig. 9A In the figure, the structure of the electronic component 21 is simplified for a clearer illustration, but this should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0116] For some examples, see Fig. 9A , the guide member 11 can be installed on the electronic component 21 through the installation position 214. Thus, it is convenient for the guide member 11 to guide the sensor 22 to be applied to the host; in addition, it is convenient for the guide member 11 to cooperate with the contact 2151.

[0117] For some examples, see Fig. 9A , the guide member 11 can cooperate with the multiple contacts 2151 of the switch module 215 to switch the state of the switch module 215. Specifically, the guide member 11 can contact the multiple contacts 2151 to conduct the multiple contacts 2151 so that the switch module 215 is in a closed state; in addition, the guide member 11 can not contact the multiple contacts 2151 to disconnect the multiple contacts 2151, so that the switch module 215 is in an open state.

[0118] In some examples, the mode of the electronic component 21 can be changed by switching the state of the switch module 215 .

[0119] In some examples, when the guide member 11 is mounted on the electronic component 21 (ie, during the shelf life), the guide member 11 may contact the plurality of contacts 2151. In other words, the guide member 11 may conduct the plurality of contacts 2151.

[0120] In some examples, when the guide member 11 and the medical device 2 move together along the application direction D, the guide member 11 can maintain contact with the plurality of contacts 2151 .

[0121] In some examples, the guide member 11 can move relative to the electronic component 21. In some examples, when the guide member 11 moves away from the electronic component 21 (that is, when the guide member 11 moves in a direction opposite to the application direction D), the guide member 11 can break contact with the plurality of contacts 2151. In this case, the switch module 215 can be switched between a closed state and an open state by the relative movement of the guide member 11 and the electronic component 21.

[0122] For some examples, see Fig. 9A , the application direction D of the application device 1 applying the medical device 2 can be consistent with the direction in which the guide member 11 is installed into the electronic component 21. In this case, after the medical device 2 is applied to the host, the conductive member 111 on the guide member 11 can be disconnected from the contact 2151 while the guide member 11 moves toward the distal end of the application device 1, so that the mode of the electronic component 21 can be switched.

[0123] For some examples, see Fig. 9A , the plurality of contacts 2151 and the conductive member 111 may be arranged along the direction in which the guide member 11 is installed into the electronic component 21. In this case, after the medical device 2 is applied to the host, since the contacts 2151 and the conductive member 111 are arranged along the direction in which the guide member 111 is installed into the electronic component 21, the conductive member 111 on the guide member 11 can be disconnected from the contacts 2151 while the guide member 11 moves toward the distal end of the application device 1, so that the switch module 215 can be switched to the disconnected state more quickly.

[0124] In some examples, the guide member 11 can switch the switch module 215 between an open state and a closed state. In some examples, when the conductive member 111 contacts the contact 2151, the switch module 215 can be in a closed state; when the conductive member 111 does not contact the contact 2151, the switch module 215 can be in an open state.

[0125] In some examples, the guide member 11 can trigger the electronic component 21 to switch between the shutdown mode and the working mode. In some examples, the switch module 215 can trigger the electronic component 21 to switch between the shutdown mode and the working mode.

[0126] For some examples, see Fig. 9A The medical device 2 further includes a sensor seat 23. In some examples, the sensor seat 23 may have a mounting groove 231. In some examples, the mounting groove 231 may be configured to mount the guide member 11. In some examples, the conductive member 111 of the guide member 11 may be mounted in the mounting groove 231.

[0127] Fig. 9B2 is a schematic diagram showing another view direction of the assembly structure of the guide member 11, the processing module 212, and the sensor 22 involved in the example of the utility model. Fig. 9B In the figure, the structure of the electronic component 21 is simplified for a clearer illustration, but this should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0128] As mentioned above, see Fig. 9B , the sharp object 112 can be configured to at least partially accommodate the sensor 22. In some examples, the sharp object 112 can have a receiving groove 1121. In some examples, the receiving groove 1121 of the sharp object 112 can at least partially accommodate the sensor 22. Thus, it is possible to facilitate the application of the sensor 22 to the host.

[0129] For some examples, see Fig. 9B In some examples, the sensor seat 23 can be configured to accommodate the connection portion 221 of the sensor 22. In some examples, the connection portion 221 can be located inside the sensor seat 23. In some examples, the implant portion 222 of the sensor 22 can be located outside the sensor seat 23. Thus, the processing module 212 can obtain analyte information through the connection portion 221 and the implant portion 222.

[0130] Fig. 10A It is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to power off the processing module 212 in the first embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention. Fig. 10B It is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to energize the processing module 212 in the first embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention. Fig. 10C It is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to power off the processing module 212 in the second embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention. Fig. 10D It is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to energize the processing module 212 in the second embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention.

[0131] As described above, the switch module 215 may have a closed state and an open state. In some examples, when the switch module 215 switches between the closed state and the open state, the switch module 215 may control the mode of the electronic component 21 .

[0132] In some examples, the switch module 215 may have an initial state. In some examples, the initial state may be the state of the switch module 215 when the medical device 2 is in the shelf life, in other words, the initial state may be the state of the switch module 215 when the application device 1 has not applied the medical device 2.

[0133] In some examples, the electronic component 21 may have an off mode and an on mode. In some examples, the processing module 212 may have two states: a power-off state and a power-on state.

[0134] In some examples, when the processing module 212 is powered off, the electronic component 21 can be in the shutdown mode. In some examples, when the processing module 212 is powered on, the electronic component 21 can be in the working mode.

[0135] In some examples, the processing module 212 may be configured such that when the processing module 212 is powered off, the processing module 212 stops processing the signal of the sensor 22. In some examples, the processing module 212 may also be configured such that when the processing module 212 is powered on, the processing module 212 processes the signal of the sensor 22.

[0136] In some examples, the closed state of the switch module 215 may be the state of the switch module 215 when the guide member 11 conducts the plurality of contacts 2151. In some examples, the initial state of the switch module 215 may be the closed state. In some examples, when the initial state of the switch module 215 is the closed state, the switch module 215 may control the electronic component 21 to be in the off mode.

[0137] In some examples, the disconnected state of the switch module 215 may be the state of the switch module 215 when the guide member 11 is disconnected from the plurality of contacts 2151. In some examples, the switch module 215 may be configured to put the electronic component 21 in the working mode when it is in the disconnected state for the first time, that is, when the guide member 11 is disconnected from the plurality of contacts 2151 for the first time. Thus, the mode of the electronic component 21 can be changed by changing the state of the switch module 215.

[0138] In some examples, return to Figure 4A , the electronic assembly 21 may include a controller 216. In some examples, the controller 216 may be configured to control the power module 213 and the processing module 212. In some examples, the controller 216 may control the power supply from the power module 213 to the processing module 212 based on the state of the switch module 215.

[0139] For some examples, see Fig. 10A When the switch module 215 is in a closed state, the controller 216 can be configured to control the power module 213 to stop supplying power to the processing module 212 so as to cut off the power supply to the processing module 212 .

[0140] For some examples, see Fig. 10B When the switch module 215 is in the off state for the first time, the controller 216 may be configured to stop controlling the power module 213 to power on the processing module 212 .

[0141] For some examples, see Fig. 10C When the switch module 215 is in a closed state, the controller 216 can be configured to send a shutdown signal to the processing module 212 to power off the processing module 212. In this case, when the switch module 215 is in a closed state, the electronic component 21 can be controlled to be in a shutdown mode.

[0142] In some examples, the shutdown signal may change the pin level of the processing module 212. In some examples, the power module 213 may detect the pin level of the processing module 212 to stop supplying power to the processing module 212.

[0143] For some examples, see Fig. 10D , when the switch module 215 is in the off state for the first time, the controller 216 can be configured to stop sending the shutdown signal to the processing module 212 to power on the processing module 212. In this case, when the switch module 215 is in the off state, the controller 216 can control the electronic component 21 to be in the working mode by stopping sending the shutdown signal so that the pin level of the processing module 212 does not change.

[0144] For some examples, see Fig. 10B When the processing module 212 is powered on, the processing module 212 may be configured to place the power module 213 in a lock mode to keep the processing module 212 powered on.

[0145] In some examples, when the power module 213 is in the lock mode, the power module 213 may not be controlled by the controller 216 . Thus, the power module 213 can keep supplying power to the processing module 212 regardless of the state of the switch module 215 .

[0146] For some examples, see Fig. 10D When the processing module 212 is powered on, the processing module 212 may be configured to put the processing module 212 in a lock mode so that the processing module 212 remains powered on. In some examples, when the processing module 212 is in the lock mode, the processing module 212 may not be controlled by the controller 216. Thus, the processing module 212 can remain powered on regardless of the state of the switch module 215.

[0147] Fig.11A It is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to power off the processing module 212 in the third embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention. Fig. 11B It is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to energize the processing module 212 in the third embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention. Fig. 11CIt is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to power off the processing module 212 in the fourth embodiment of the controller 216 involved in the present invention. Fig.11D 2 is a schematic diagram showing the principle of controlling the switch module 215 to energize the processing module 212 in the fourth embodiment of the controller 216 of the present invention. It should be noted that in the control principle of the third and fourth embodiments of the controller 216, the change in the contact condition between the guide member 11 and the medical device 2 is different from the change in the contact condition in the first and second embodiments, and the same parts are not repeated. In addition, the contact condition may refer to whether the guide member 11 and the medical device 2 are in contact.

[0148] In some examples, when the application device 1 and the medical device 2 are in the shelf life (ie, when shipped), the guide member 11 and the medical device 2 may be co-located inside the application device 1. In some examples, the guide member 11 may pass through and be mounted on the medical device 2.

[0149] In some examples, when the guide member 11 is mounted on the electronic component 21 (i.e., during the shelf life), the guide member 11 may not be in contact with the contact 2151 of the medical device 2. Specifically, the guide member 11 may be a predetermined distance away from the medical device 2 in the application direction D. In this case, when the application device 1 and the medical device 2 are in the shelf life, by disconnecting the contact between the guide member 11 and the contact 2151, the possibility of leakage of the power module 213 caused by conduction between the contacts 2151 can be reduced, thereby extending the shelf life of the medical device 2.

[0150] In some examples, before the guide member 11 contacts the medical device 2, the medical device 2 can remain relatively still with the application device 1. In some examples, after the guide member 11 moves a predetermined distance toward the proximal end of the application device 1, the guide member 11 can contact the medical device 2 and drive the medical device 2 to move toward the proximal end of the application device 1. In some examples, after the guide member 11 moves a predetermined distance toward the proximal end of the application device 1, the guide member 11 can contact the contact point 2151 of the medical device 2.

[0151] In some examples, the guide member 11 can be moved in a direction opposite to the application direction D. In some examples, the guide member 11 can be moved in a direction opposite to the application direction D relative to the medical device 2 .

[0152] In some examples, the disconnected state of the switch module 215 may be a state of the switch module 215 when the guide member 11 is disconnected from the plurality of contacts 2151. In some examples, the initial state of the switch module 215 may be a disconnected state. In some examples, when the initial state of the switch module 215 is a disconnected state, the switch module 215 may control the electronic component 21 to be in an off mode.

[0153] In some examples, the closed state of the switch module 215 may be the state of the switch module 215 when the guide member 11 conducts the plurality of contacts 2151. In some examples, the switch module 215 may be configured to put the electronic component 21 in the working mode when it is in the closed state for the first time, that is, when the guide member 11 conducts the plurality of contacts 2151 for the first time. Thus, the mode of the electronic component 21 can be changed by changing the state of the switch module 215.

[0154] For some examples, see Fig.11A When the switch module 215 is in the off state, the controller 216 can be configured to stop controlling the power module 213 to cut off the power to the processing module 212.

[0155] For some examples, see Fig. 11B When the switch module 215 is in a closed state for the first time, the controller 216 may be configured to control the power module 213 to supply power to the processing module 212 so that the processing module 212 is powered on.

[0156] For some examples, see Fig. 11C When the switch module 215 is in the off state, the controller 216 can be configured to stop sending the working signal to the processing module 212 to power off the processing module 212. In this case, when the switch module 215 is in the off state, the electronic component 21 can be controlled to be in the off mode.

[0157] In some examples, the working signal may change the pin level of the processing module 212. In some examples, the power module 213 may detect the pin level of the processing module 212 to stop supplying power to the processing module 212.

[0158] For some examples, see Fig.11D , when the switch module 215 is in the closed state for the first time, the controller 216 can be configured to send a working signal to the processing module 212 to power on the processing module 212. In this case, when the switch module 215 is in the closed state, the controller 216 changes the pin level of the processing module 212 through the working signal, and can control the electronic component 21 to be in the working mode.

[0159] For some examples, see Fig. 11BWhen the processing module 212 is powered on, the processing module 212 may be configured to put the power module 213 in a lock mode to keep the processing module 212 powered on. In some examples, when the power module 213 is in the lock mode, the power module 213 may not be controlled by the controller 216. Thus, the power module 213 can keep supplying power to the processing module 212 without being affected by the state of the switch module 215.

[0160] For some examples, see Fig.11D When the processing module 212 is powered on, the processing module 212 may be configured to put the processing module 212 in a lock mode so that the processing module 212 remains powered on. In some examples, when the processing module 212 is in the lock mode, the processing module 212 may not be controlled by the controller 216. Thus, the processing module 212 can remain powered on regardless of the state of the switch module 215.

[0161] In the utility model, by setting a contact 2151 on the switch module 215 of the electronic component 21 and setting a conductive member 111 on the guide member 11, when the guide member 11 and the electronic component 21 generate relative movement, the contact between the conductive member 111 of the guide member 11 and the contact 2151 of the switch module 215 can be changed, so that the switch module 215 can be switched between an open state and a closed state; in addition, by changing the physical contact between the conductive member 111 of the guide member 11 and the contact 2151 of the switch module 215 to switch the state of the switch module 215, the possibility of leakage current generated by the power supply can be reduced, thereby extending the shelf life of the medical device 2.

[0162] Although the utility model is specifically described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, it is to be understood that the above description does not limit the utility model in any form. Those skilled in the art can modify and change the utility model as needed without departing from the essential spirit and scope of the utility model, and these modifications and changes all fall within the scope of the utility model.
