Sensing and infusion devices are described. In one embodiment, a sensing and infusion device may include an implantable segment having a sensor. The sensing and infusion device may also include a catheter, and a sensor channel may be formed in the catheter. The sensor channel may be configured to retain at least a portion of the implantable segment.

In Vivo sensing and infusion devices

In vivo sensing and infusion devices

An on-body insertion system is described. The on-body system includes a sensor in a first position being substantially parallel to an insertion surface. Activation of an actuator transitions the sensor to a second position. Wherein the transition imparts movement to the sensor that is substantially parallel to the insertion surface and the second position results in the sensing area being beneath the insertion surface.

Sensor insertion

An electrode measuring the presence of an analyte is described as one embodiment. The electrode includes a working conductor with an electrode reactive surface and a first reactive chemistry that is responsive to the analyte. The electrode further includes a first transport material that enables flux of the first analyte to the first reactive chemistry and a second transport material that supplies a reactant to the first reactive chemistry. Wherein the first reactive chemistry does not contact the electrode reactive surface while at least partially shadowing a portion of the electrode reactive surface.

Analyte sensor

A biosensor assembly that measures multiple physical parameters is disclosed. The biosensor assembly includes a first implantable probe and a first skin contacting electrode. Wherein a first physiological parameter is measured between the first implantable probe and the first skin contactable electrode.

System and method for disease risk assessment and treatment

A working electrode measuring the presence of an analyte is described as one embodiment. The working electrode includes a working conductor with a reactive surface that is operated at a first potential. The working electrode further includes a first transport material with properties that enable analyte flux to the reactive surface. Additionally, the working electrode has a second transport material with properties that enable reactant flux to the reactive surface, wherein the analyte flux and the reactant flux are in dissimilar directions.

An apparatus for early detection of sepsis in a host is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first sensor to directly measure a glucose level, a second sensor to directly measure a lactate level and a third sensor to directly measure a tissue oxygen level. The first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor all being inserted at a single point of entry in a subcutaneous space of the host such that a predetermined correlation between the glucose level, lactate level, and tissue oxygen level signals conditions related to sepsis.
