Device For Monitoring Of Physiological Analytes

View page
US Patent:
6356776, Mar 12, 2002
Filed:
Aug 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/639913
Inventors:
Bret Berner - El Granada
Chia-Ming Chiang - Foster City, both of CA
Michael D. Garrison - Seattle WA
Janan Jona - Bear DE
Russell O. Potts - San Francisco CA
Janet A. Tamada - Mountain View CA
Michael J. Tierney - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Cygnus, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61B 505
US Classification:
600347, 600345, 600365, 600309
Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided for measuring the concentration of target chemical analytes present in a biological system. Device configuration and/or measurement techniques are employed in order to reduce the effect of interfering species on sensor sensitivity. One important application of the invention involves a method and device for monitoring blood glucose values.

Methods Of Producing An Assembly For Use In A Monitoring Device

US Patent:
6370410, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
Jan 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/764550
Inventors:
Ronald T. Kurnik - Foster City CA
Janet Tamada - Belmont CA
Michael Tierney - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Cygnus, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61B 507
US Classification:
600345, 600347, 604 20
Abstract:
A chemical signal-impermeable mask is positioned in the electrolyte flow such that the mask is between a source of chemical signal and a working electrode which senses the chemical signal transported from the source (e. g. , by diffusion). The configuration of the mask is such that the mask prevents substantially all chemical signal transport from the chemical signal source having a radial vector component relative to a plane of the mask and the catalytic face of the working electrode, thus allowing primarily only chemical signal transport that is substantially perpendicular to the place of the mask and the catalytic surface of the working electrode. By reducing or eliminating chemical signal radial transport toward the working electrode, the mask thus significantly reduces or eliminates edge effects. By substantially reducing edge effects created by radial transport of chemical signal, it is possible to obtain a more accurate measurement of the amount (e. g. , concentration) of chemical signal that is transported from a given area of source material.

US Patent:
6561978, May 13, 2003
Filed:
Feb 11, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/503227
Inventors:
Thomas E. Conn - Palo Alto CA
Russell Ford - Portola Valley CA
Russell O. Potts - San Francisco CA
Pravin L. Soni - Sunnyvale CA
Janet A. Tamada - Mountain View CA
Michael J. Tierney - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Cygnus, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600309, 600365, 600347
Abstract:
Devices and methods are provided for frequently measuring the concentration of an analyte present in a biological system. A monitoring system having at least two components is employed in order to allow separation of data collection from data processing and display. Such separation allows greater flexibility and convenience for the user.

Russell O. Potts - San Francisco CA, 94114
Janet Tamada - Mountain View CA, 94043
Michael J. Tierney - San Jose CA, 95112
Bret Berner - El Granada CA, 94018
International Classification:
A61F 700
US Classification:
600347, 600365, 435 14, 204400, 204403
Abstract:
An automated system for continual transdermal extraction of analytes present in a biological system is provided. The system can be used for detecting and/or measuring the concentration of the analyte using an electrochemical biosensor detection means. The system optionally uses reverse iontophoresis to carry out the continual transdermal extraction of the analytes.
