  • Patent number: 11179068
    Abstract: Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

  • Publication number: 20210267500
    Abstract: Systems, devices, kits, and methods are provided herein in the form of example embodiments that relate to calibration of medical devices. The medical devices can be sensors adapted to sense a biochemical attribute. The embodiments can be used to determine calibration information specific to an individual medical device. The embodiments can determine the calibration information by reference to one or more parameters obtained during manufacturing of the medical device. The embodiments can also determine the calibration information by reference to in vitro testing of the medical devices. The embodiments also apply to systems incorporating those medical devices in their use in the field. Also described are embodiments of modifications to surfaces of sensor substrates, such as through applied radiation and/or the creation of a well, to aid in the placement and/or sizing of a sensor element on the substrate.

    Abstract: Analyte sensors responsive at low working electrode potentials may comprise an active area upon a surface of a working electrode, wherein the active area comprises a polymer, a redox mediator covalently bonded to the polymer, and at least one analyte-responsive enzyme covalently bonded to the polymer. A specific redox mediator responsive at low potential may have a structure of wherein G is a linking group covalently bonding the redox mediator to the polymer. A mass transport limiting membrane permeable to the analyte may overcoat the active area. In some sensor configurations, the mass transport limiting membrane may comprise a membrane polymer crosslinked with a branched crosslinker comprising three or more crosslinkable groups, such as polyethylene glycol tetraglycidyl ether.
