Patent number: 8802009Abstract: A sensor-dispensing instrument is adapted to determine an analyte concentration of a fluid and comprises a body, a cap, a cartridge, a test-sensor receptacle, and a sensor-advancement mechanism. The cap is adapted to move between an open position and a closed position. The cap and body are adapted to correspond with each other to form the closed position. The cartridge contains a plurality of test sensors. The cartridge is located substantially within the cap. The sensor-advancement mechanism is adapted to advance the plurality of test sensors, one at a time, to a position that allows a user to manually remove the test sensor and place the test sensor in the test-sensor receptacle. The sensor-dispensing instrument may also include a lancing device including a lancet.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Bayer HealthCare LLCInventors: Benjamin Rush, Shu Kun Chang, Jeffery S. Reynolds, Sean Gallimore

Publication number: 20090008246Abstract: A cartridge comprises a plurality of test sensors, a housing and a window. The plurality of test sensors is adapted to be used in determining the concentration of an analyte of a fluid sample. The plurality of test sensors is in a stacked position. The housing includes an interior, at one least wall and a sensor-discharge opening. The housing is adapted to contain the plurality of test sensors within the interior of the housing. The window is disposed within the at least one wall of the housing. The window permits a user of the cartridge to visually determine the number of test sensors remaining within the interior of the housing. The cartridge is adapted to dispense the plurality of test sensors one at a time from the sensor-dispensing opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2005Publication date: January 8, 2009Inventors: Jeffrey S. Reynolds, Shu Kun Chang, Benjamin Rush

Publication number: 20080133146Abstract: A test device (10) for determining the analyte concentration in a current sample. A measuring unit (28) is included in the test device and is adapted to measure the reaction of a reagent and the analyte and to generate a signal indicative of the measured reaction. The test device (10) also includes a processor (32) that is electronically coupled to the measuring unit (28) and is adapted to determine the analyte concentration in the sample in response to receiving the signal indicative of the measured reaction from the measuring unit (28). Electronically coupled to the processor (32) is a memory (34), the memory (34) for storing the analyte concentration and including storage of a current sample and at least one past sample. The test device (10) further includes a user display (18) that is also electronically coupled to the processor (32), and a display automatically displaying the concentration of the current sample and at least one past sample in a graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2005Publication date: June 5, 2008Inventors: KC Shu Kun Chang, Jeffery S. Reynolds, Benjamin Rush

Patent number: 7195623Abstract: A kit and needle assembly for reconstituting a quantity of a lyophilized pharmaceutical. The kit of the invention may include a reconstituting appliance having a non-transparent needle covering portion with a hollow adapted to receive the inserted stoppered end of the injection pen cartridge, which needle covering portion extends around a side-firing cannula to hide the cannula from side view. A shiftable alignment member retained within the needle covering portion at a first axial position, and shiftable to a second axial position when abutted by the injection pen cartridge during its insertion, may be included. The kit includes an injection pen cartridge including a barrel filled with a quantity of a lyophilized drug, a slidable plunger used during pen operation to eject the reconstituted drug, and a stopper penetrable by the cannula during drug reconstituting.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Andrew Christopher Burroughs, Shu Kun Chang, Mark James Fisher, Benjamin L Rush, Richard Charles Thorne
