The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/386,915 filed Mar. 21, 2006, which claims priority under 35 USC �119(e) to provisional application No. 60/664,215 filed Mar. 21, 2005 and assigned to the assignee of the present application, the disclosure of each of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference for all purposes.
The present invention relates to methods and systems for integrating infusion systems and analyte monitoring systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for integrating insulin infusion devices with continuous analyte monitoring systems.
Type 1 diabetics must periodically be administered with insulin to sustain their physiological conditions. Typically, these patients administer doses of either fast acting or slow acting insulin using needle type syringes, for example, prior to meals, and/or at a suitable time during the course of each day contemporaneously with the blood glucose level testing using fingerstick testing, for example. If insulin is not suitably administered, the diabetic patients risk serious if not fatal damage to the body.
In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to have an integrated system combining the functionalities of an infusion device such as insulin infusion pumps, and analyte monitoring systems such as continuous glucose monitoring systems.
FIG. 1 illustrates an integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 1 illustrates an integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system 100 in one embodiment of the present invention includes an infusion device 110 connected to an infusion tubing 130 for liquid transport or infusion, and which is further coupled to a cannula 170. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the cannula 170 is configured to be mountably coupled to a transmitter unit 150, where the transmitter unit 150 is also mountably coupled to an analyte sensor 160. Also provided is an analyte monitor unit 120 which is configured to wirelessly communicate with the transmitter unit 150 over a communication path 140.
FIGS. 12A-12C each illustrate a cross sectional view of the infusion device cannula integrated with continuous analyte monitoring system sensor electrodes of FIG. 10 in accordance with the various embodiments respectively, of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 12A, in one embodiment, the wire and tubing are provided in parallel such that the tubing wall 1220, the tube bore for insulin flow 1224, the wire outer casing 1220 and the individual insulated wires 1221, 1222, 1223 are substantially provided as shown in FIG. 12A. More specifically, it can be seen from the Figure that each of the three insulated wires are provided with an insulation layer of tubing wall 1220 individually surrounding each insulated wires 1221, 1222, 1223, and further, where the three insulated wires 1221, 1222, 1223 are in turn surrounded by the tubing wall 1220.
