Publication number: 20170251922Abstract: The analyte concentration, such as glucose, in a human or animal body is measured with an implantable sensor that generates measurement signals. The measurement signals are compressed through statistical techniques to produced compressed measurement data that can is easier to process and communicate. A base station carries the implantable sensor along with a signal processor, memory, and a transmitter. A display device is also disclosed that can receive the compressed measurement data from the base station for further processing and display.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2017Publication date: September 7, 2017Applicant: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Bernd Roesicke, Karin Obermaier, Stefan Lindegger, Andreas Menke, Joerg Scherer, Karin Schwind, Otto Gaa, Gregor Bainczyk, Michael Marquant, Sandro Niederhauser, Michael Schoemaker, Martin Mueri

Patent number: 8505833Abstract: A medical liquid transfer system includes a pump configured to transfer liquid between at least two containers. A detachable connector is detachably secured to the pump. The detachable connector has at least one pump passage to transmit pumping pressure from the pump to at least one of the containers. The detachable connector can include one or more liquid impermeable and gas permeable membranes to ensure the liquid is retained in the detachable connector. After the fluid is transferred the detachable connector is removed and replaced by a new one in order to prevent contamination of the pump. An interlock mechanism is used to prevent premature removal of the detachable connector and/or the container being filled.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignees: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc., Roche Diagnostics International AGInventors: Jean-Noël Fehr, Heiner Kaufmann, Rudolf Zihlmann, Sandro Niederhäuser, Christopher Wiegel, Eric Misselwitz, Christoph Rickert

Patent number: 8409144Abstract: A device for facilitating the use or application of skin penetrators, the device including a puncturing part for piercing the skin, an indwelling part which can be introduced into the skin through an opening generated by the puncturing part and remains there, wherein the puncturing part and indwelling part are operably associated with the device, and a guide operably associated with the device, wherein, in use, the indwelling part is moved, via the guide, into a position of use after the puncturing part has pierced the skin. In some embodiments, the puncturing and indwelling parts are separate from each other prior to use. A method of using skin penetrators is encompassed and includes sequentially introducing the puncturing part and the indwelling part into the skin.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Roche Diagnostics International AGInventors: Ulrich Haueter, Sandro Niederhauser, Peter Feldmann, Christian Hof
