Publication number: 20250091748Abstract: A system and method are provided for packaging and sterilizing analyte sensors. The packaging system provides a structure for securing the analyte sensors in a fixed position and fixed orientation within the package.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Minda McDorman Grucela, Jinsong Gao
-
Publication number: 20250040837Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for power management in an electronics unit of a sensor device, e.g., such as in a continuous analyte sensor system. In some example embodiments, there is provided a method that includes monitoring, by a controller of a sensor electronics module, counts associated with signals received from a sensor device for a first period of time. The method also includes comparing a number of received counts with one or more benchmarked count thresholds, and determining whether to initiate an operational mode of the sensor electronics module based on the comparison. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Jeffrey R. WEDEKIND, Douglas William BURNETTE, Mark DERVAES, Jose Hector HERNANDEZ-ROSAS, Zebediah L. MCDANIEL, Pauline T. LIEU, Minda McDorman GRUCELA

Publication number: 20210142912Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed provide ways for Health Care Professionals (HCPs) to be involved in initial patient system set up so that the data received is truly transformative, such that the patient not just understands what all the various numbers mean but also how the data can be used. For example, in one implementation, a CGM device is configured for use by a HCP, and includes a housing and a circuit configured to receive a signal from a transmitter coupled to an indwelling glucose sensor. A calibration module converts the received signal into clinical units. A user interface is provided that is configured to display a measured glucose concentration in the clinical units. The user interface is further configured to receive input data about a patient level, where the input data about the patient level causes the device to operate in a mode appropriate to the patient level.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Scott M. Belliveau, Naresh C. Bhavaraju, Darin Edward Chum Dew, Eric Cohen, Anna Leigh Davis, Mark Dervaes, Laura J.
