  • Dual electrode system for a continuous analyte sensor
    Patent number: 7460898
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a continuous analyte sensor, such as a continuous glucose sensor. One such system utilizes first and second working electrodes to measure additional analyte or non-analyte related signal. Such measurements may provide a background and/or sensitivity measurement(s) for use in processing sensor data and may be used to trigger events such as digital filtering of data or suspending display of data.

  • Handle for Long Self Expanding Stent
    Publication number: 20070219617
    Abstract: A stent delivery system includes a handle having a housing and a spool. A pushrod has a proximal end connected to the housing of the handle. A stent is located near a distal end of the pushrod, wherein the handle has a linear length less than a linear length of the stent. A sheath constrains the stent at a distal end of the sheath. A retraction wire is connected to a proximal end of the sheath and to the spool. Retraction of the sheath is accomplished by winding (coiling) the retraction wire around the spool. Accordingly, the handle can be much shorter than the stent.
