Abstract: A monitoring system for an analyte in a bodily fluid of a patient comprises a housing, a sensor disposed within the housing, and a cannula. The sensor detects and reports the detection of an analyte. The sensor includes a sensor inlet and a sensor outlet. The cannula includes a cannula inlet and a cannula outlet, where the cannula inlet is fluidly coupled to the sensor inlet and the cannula outlet is fluidly coupled to the sensor outlet. The monitoring system can provide real-time monitoring of an intravenous analyte, where a fluid delivery unit can automatically administer a fluid in response to detection of a predetermined amount of the analyte.

Abstract: An oximetry device includes an inductive detector. When the oximetry device is sealed in a sheath and a latch of the sheath is in a latched position, the inductive detector inductively detects that latch. The oximeter device uses first information received from the detector for the latch being in the latched position to allow the device to take oximetry measurements. The oximeter device uses second information received from the detector for the latch not being in the latched position to allow the device to display a message on a display of the device that the sheath is not sealed. The displayed message indicates to a user that the sheath lid needs to be closed. The closed lid prevents contaminants in the sheath from reaching patient tissue during use of the device and sheath.

Abstract: Various molecular barcoded bi-stable switches are provided that can be used to detect various analytes. An electrical current is provided through a pore to electrophoretically draw at least a portion of one or more molecular barcoded bi-stable switches from one volume through one or more pores to another volume. Each molecular barcoded bi-stable switch includes a status identifier that provides an indication when a binding material is bound to the analyte. Each molecular barcoded bi-stable switch also includes a barcode that can be read as it passes through the pore to ascertain the identity of the particular molecular barcoded bi-stable switch.
