Phillip C. Hartstein has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • In vitro determination of analyte levels within body fluids
    Patent number: 7872734
    Abstract: A reagentless whole-blood analyte detection system that is capable of being deployed near a patient has a source capable of emitting a beam of radiation that includes a spectral band. The whole-blood system also has a detector in an optical path of the beam. The whole-blood system also has a housing that is configured to house the source and the detector. The whole-blood system also has a sample element that is situated in the optical path of the beam. The sample element has a sample cell and a sample cell wall that does not eliminate transmittance of the beam of radiation in the spectral band.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for improving the accuracy of alternative site analyte concentration measurements
    Publication number: 20030175806
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving the accuracy of analyte concentration measurements at alternative sites and information provided to the user. The present invention advantageously utilizes information relating to the rate of change of analyte concentrations to adjust analyte concentrations measurements and/or information provided to the user. Therefore, the present invention provides new and improved methods and apparatuses for obtaining analyte concentration information at physiological sites other than the fingertips while ensuring that the analyte concentration information accurately reflects systemic analyte concentration values.
