Publication number: 20120078071Abstract: Systems and methods for processing, transmitting, and displaying data received from a continuous analyte (e.g., glucose) sensor are provided. A sensor system can comprise a sensor electronics module that includes power saving features, e.g., a low power measurement circuit that can be switched between a measurement mode and a low power mode, wherein charging circuitry continues to apply power to electrodes of a sensor during the low power mode. The sensor electronics module can be switched between a low power storage mode and a higher power operational mode via a switch, e.g., a reed switch or optical switch. A validation routine can be implemented to ensure an interrupt signal sent from the switch is valid. The sensor can be physically connected to the sensor electronics module in direct wireless communication with a plurality of different display devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2011Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Sebastian Bohm, Mark Dervaes, Eric Johnson, Apurv Ullas Kamath, Shawn Larvenz, Jacob S.

Publication number: 20110270158Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating a continuous glucose sensor, including a receiver, a medicament delivery device, and optionally a single point glucose monitor are provided. Manual integrations provide for a physical association between the devices wherein a user (for example, patient or doctor) manually selects the amount, type, and/or time of delivery. Semi-automated integration of the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components aids the user (for example, patient or doctor) in selecting, inputting, calculating, or validating the amount, type, or time of medicament delivery of glucose values, for example, by transmitting data to another component and thereby reducing the amount of user input required. Automated integration between the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components provides for full control of the system without required user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: James H.

Publication number: 20110124992Abstract: An implantable sensor for use in measuring a concentration of an analyte such as glucose in a bodily fluid, including a body with a sensing region adapted for transport of analytes between the sensor and the bodily fluid, wherein the sensing region is located on a curved portion of the body such that when a foreign body capsule forms around the sensor, a contractile force is exerted by the foreign body capsule toward the sensing region. The body is partially or entirely curved, partially or entirely covered with an anchoring material for supporting tissue ingrowth, and designed for subcutaneous tissue implantation. The geometric design, including curvature, shape, and other factors minimize chronic inflammatory response at the sensing region and contribute to improved performance of the sensor in vivo.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: James H.

Publication number: 20100331644Abstract: An apparatus houses an intravascular sensor and is configured to measure the analyte in a biological sample of a host. The apparatus includes a fluid coupler having a first end configured to mate with a connecting end of a catheter and a second end configured to mate with a tubing assembly including, for example, an infusion pump, and a housing connected to the fluid coupler. The housing is configured to receive a sensor disposed within the fluid coupler such that when the fluid coupler is mated to the catheter, the sensor can be exposed to a biological sample. The housing is also configured to electrically couple the sensor with an external device, such as a processor for receiving and analyzing the sensor output. The housing and the fluid coupler are connected such that a fluidic seal is formed thereby preventing fluid in the fluid coupler from entering the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Paul V.
