Abstract: A system and a method for delivering fluid to and sensing analyte levels in the body of the patient are disclosed. The system includes a dispensing apparatus configured to infuse fluid into the body of the patient and a sensing apparatus configured to be in communication with the dispensing apparatus and further configured to detect a level of analyte concentration in the body of the patient.

Abstract: One or more therapeutic fluids, such as for example insulin can be delivered to a body. In addition or alternatively, the concentrations of one or more analytes can be measured in vivo. A feedback process can be used to regulate levels of the one or more analytes based on the measurements via delivery of the one or more therapeutic fluids. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: A volume of an analyte-enriched fluid can be withdrawn out of a user's subcutaneous compartment using a patch unit that includes a reversible pumping mechanism. The volume can be withdrawn out of the body and into the patch unit through a cannula inserted into the subcutaneous compartment so that an analyte concentration in the volume can be measured using a sensing element within the patch unit. After analyte concentration analysis, at least the volume can be delivered back into the subcutaneous compartment by operating the pumping mechanism in a forward direction. biologically compatible fluid can optionally be pumped into the subcutaneous compartment from a reservoir in the patch unit and then allowed to partially or completely equilibrate with the analyte concentration in the interstitial fluid of the subcutaneous compartment via a permeable or semi-permeable cannula surface before being drawn back into the patch unit for analysis. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: An insertion device for a fluid delivery device for delivering a therapeutic fluid to a body of a patient and/or for sensing of a bodily analyte is disclosed. The insertion device includes a housing and accommodated therein at least one penetrating cartridge provided with a penetrating member and with a subcutaneously insertable element; The insertion device is provided with a displacement mechanism which upon actuation is capable of protracting the penetrating cartridge towards the said device for delivery and/or sensing, wherein said protracting results in inserting of the penetrating cartridge into subcutaneous compartment of the body via an opening provided at the said device for delivery and/or sensing and said insertion device allows evacuation of the penetrating member from the subcutaneous compartment via the said opening.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sensing analyte (e.g., glucose) and/or dispensing therapeutic fluid (e.g., insulin). The systems and methods are based on transporting the therapeutic fluid through a cannula at least a portion of which is permeable to molecule of the analyte. Sensing and detection of the concentration level of the analyte can be carried out by optical sensing, electrochemical sensing, acoustical sensing etc. Sensing and dispensing can be carried out by sensing and dispensing device operating in either closed or semi-closed loop.
