Publication number: 20080091096Abstract: An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Applicant: Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: James Say, Michael Tomasco, Adam Heller, Yoram Gal, Behrad Aria, Ephraim Heller, Phillip Plante, Mark Vreeke, Keith Friedman, Fredric Colman

Publication number: 20080047129Abstract: A process for the manufacture of small sensors with reproducible surfaces, including electrochemical sensors. One process includes forming channels in the surface of a substrate and disposing a conductive material in the channels to form an electrode. The conductive material can also be formed on the substrate by other impact and non-impact methods. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes cutting the substrate to form a sensor having a connector portion and a transcutaneous portion, the two portions having edges that define one continuous straight line.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Inventors: James Say, Michael Tomasco, Adam Heller, Yoram Gal, Behrad Aria, Ephraim Heller, Phillip Plante, Mark Vreeke

Publication number: 20060118415Abstract: An electrochemical analyte sensor having conductive traces on a substrate is used to determine a level of analyte in in vitro or in vivo analyte-containing fluids. The electrochemical analyte sensor includes a substrate and conductive material disposed on the substrate, the conductive material forming a working electrode. In some sensors, the conductive material is disposed in recessed channels formed in a surface of the sensor. An electron transfer agent and/or catalyst may be provided to facilitate the electrolysis of the analyte or of a second compound whose level depends on the level of the analyte. A potential is formed between the working electrode and a reference electrode or counter/reference electrode and the resulting current is a function of the concentration of the analyte in the fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2006Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: Abbott Diabetes Care Inc.Inventors: James Say, Michael Tomasco, Adam Heller, Yoram Gal, Behrad Aria, Ephraim Heller, Phillip Plante, Mark Vreeke
