One or more ring re-sizing attachments are appended to the internal circumference of a ring band so that a ring band large enough to pass over a knuckle remains comfortably fit around the finger below the knuckle. Each attachment includes a base defining an internal volume surrounded by a raised wall. A button slidingly engaged in the base internal volume defines an inner volume, and one or more springs are held in the button inner volume. As the one or more springs are compressed, the button moves into the internal volume of the base, increasing the space within the band to move the band beyond a knuckle. Once the band is beyond the knuckle, the spring(s) urge the button upwardly, causing the lips of the button to contact ledges or lips projecting from the sidewall of the base, to tighten the fit of the ring band around the finger.

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.

Bodily fluid monitoring system

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.
