A sensor, system, and method for detecting and correcting for an effect on an analyte indicator of an analyte sensor. The analyte indicator may be configured to exhibit a first detectable property that varies in accordance with an analyte concentration and an effect on (e.g., degradation of) the analyte indicator. The analyte sensor may also include an interferent indicator configured to exhibit a second detectable property (e.g., absorption) that varies in accordance the effect on the analyte indicator. The analyte sensor may generate (i) an analyte measurement based on the first detectable property exhibited by the analyte indicator and (ii) an interferent measurement based on the second detectable property exhibited by the interferent indicator. The analyte sensor may be part of a system that also includes a transceiver. The transceiver may use the analyte and interferent measurements to calculate an analyte level.

Detecting and correcting for interference in an analyte monitoring system

A sensor, system, and method for detecting and correcting for changes to an analyte indicator of an analyte sensor. The analyte indicator may be configured to exhibit a first detectable property that varies in accordance with an analyte concentration and an extent to which the analyte indicator has degraded. The analyte sensor may also include a degradation indicator configured to exhibit a second detectable property that varies in accordance with an extent to which the degradation indicator has degraded. The analyte sensor may generate (i) an analyte measurement based on the first detectable property exhibited by the analyte indicator and (ii) a degradation measurement based on the second detectable property exhibited by the degradation indicator. The analyte sensor may be part of a system that also includes a transceiver. The transceiver may use the analyte and degradation measurements to calculate an analyte level.

Detecting and correcting for changes to an analyte indicator

A sensor (e.g., an optical sensor) that may be implanted within a living animal (e.g., a human) and may be used to measure an analyte (e.g., glucose or oxygen) in a medium (e.g., interstitial fluid, blood, or intraperitoneal fluid) within the animal. The sensor may include a sensor substrate, electrode or housing, an analyte indicator covering at least a portion of the sensor, and one or more probes that identify degradative species in an environment of the sensor.

Identification of degradative species

A sensor (e.g., an optical sensor) that may be implanted within a living animal (e.g., a human) and may be used to measure an analyte (e.g., glucose or oxygen) in a medium (e.g., interstitial fluid, blood, or intraperitoneal fluid) within the animal. The sensor may include a sensor housing, an analyte indicator covering at least a portion of the sensor housing, and a multiple metal protective system including multiple metals incorporated in and/or in close proximity to a surface of the analyte indicator that reduce deterioration of the analyte indicator.

Reduction of in vivo analyte signal degradation using multiple metals

A sensor that may be used to detect the presence, amount, and/or concentration of an analyte in a medium within an animal. The sensor may include a sensor housing, an indicator element embedded within and/or covering at least a portion of the sensor housing, and a membrane over the indicator element. The sensor may include one or more of a first coating on an inner surface of the membrane, a second coating on an outer surface of the membrane, and a layer on the outside of the indicator element. One or more of the first coating, second coating, and layer may reduce deterioration of the indicator element by catalyzing degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The one or more coatings on the membrane may increase the light blocking capability of the membrane, which may improve the accuracy of the sensor.

Chemical modification of analyte permeable membrane for enhanced oxidative stability

Compounds having enhanced oxidation stability are disclosed. The compounds have an aryl boronic acid residue having one or more electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic moiety which contains the boronic acid residue, such that the molecule has enhanced oxidation resistance as compared to a corresponding molecule without the one or more electron withdrawing groups.

Oxidation resistant indicator molecules

The present invention relates to a chemical compound that has applications as a luminescent indicator dye, and to an optical sensor, typically employed for determination of near-neutral pH values of aqueous samples. The optical sensor has particular application in the pH determination of body liquids such as, for example, blood, plasma and serum.
