  • Patent number: 11938303
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to determining a calibrated measurement value indicative of a physiological condition of a patient using sensor calibration data and a performance model. In some embodiments, the techniques involve obtaining one or more electrical signals from a sensing element of a sensing arrangement, where the one or more electrical signals are influenced by a physiological condition in a body of a patient. The techniques also involve obtaining calibration data associated with the sensing element from a data storage element of the sensing arrangement, converting the one or more electrical signals into one or more calibrated measurement parameters using the calibration data, obtaining a performance model associated with the sensing element, obtaining personal data associated with the patient, and determining, using the performance model and based on the personal data and the one or more calibrated measurement parameters, a calibrated output value indicative of the physiological condition.

  • Patent number: 10827959
    Abstract: A sensor set is provided for sensing of a body characteristic, such as glucose. The sensor set includes a mounting base for the sensor and a connector to connect to the mounting base and has an improved structure for connecting the mounting base to the connector. The connector may contain sensor electronics for wired or wireless communication to an external monitor or display. The mounting base includes latch arms and the connector adapted to fit and lock into latch recesses on the connector and includes anti-rotation arms adapted to fit into anti-rotation arm recesses on the connector.

  • Patent number: 10827960
    Abstract: A sensor set is provided for sensing of a body characteristic, such as glucose. The sensor set includes a mounting base for the sensor including a shim adapted to prevent pull up of the sensor and a connector to connect to the mounting base and has an improved structure for connecting the mounting base to the connector. The connector may contain sensor electronics for wired or wireless communication to an external monitor or display. The mounting base includes latch arms and the connector adapted to fit and lock into latch recesses on the connector and includes anti-rotation arms adapted to fit into anti-rotation arm recesses on the connector.

The sensor set includes a mounting base for the sensor and a connector to connect to the mounting base. The connector may contain sensor electronics for wired or wireless communication to an external monitor or display. The mounting base includes a connector fitting adapted to fit into a tubular recess in the connector, wherein the connector fitting includes a key. In some embodiments, the proximal end of the sensor folds around the key such that there are contact pads on both sides of the key. The mounting base and connector include additional features, such as pegs and prongs that allow for unique fitting of compatible mounting bases and connectors, while locking out non-compatible components.
