Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for integrating infusion systems and analyte monitoring systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing modular combination for integrated infusion and 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.
- the patient inserts a cannula which is connected to as infusion tubing attached to an external pump, and insulin is administered based on a preprogrammed basal profiles.
- the external infusion devices include computational capability to determined suitable bolus doses such as carbohydrate bolus and correction bolus, for example, to be administered in conjunction with the infusion device executing the patient's basal profile.
- the basal profiles are generally determined by the patient's physician or caretaker and are based on a number of factors including the patient's insulin sensitivity and physiological condition which are diagnosed by the patient's physician, for example, and are typically intended to as accurately estimate the patient's glucose levels over a predetermined time period during which the patient is infusing insulin.
- the glucose levels may be estimated based on the patient's periodic discrete testing using a test strip and a blood glucose meter such as Freestyle® Glucose Meter available from Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., of Alameda, Calif. Such estimations are, however, prone to error, and do not accurately mirror the patient's actual physiological condition.
- each aspect of the infusion and the analyte monitoring require components that are configured to execute the associated functions related to, for example, the control and management of insulin delivery and analyte monitoring.
- these components are prone to failure or otherwise periodic replacement due to ordinary usage.
- a modular system including medication delivery unit such as an insulin pump, and an analyte monitoring device such as a continuous glucose monitoring system, that would allow for component based replacement when one or more aspects of the overall therapy management system fails or requires replacement.

- FIG. 13 is a timing chart for illustrating the temporal spacing of blood glucose measurement and insulin delivery by the integrated infusion device and monitoring system in one embodiment. More specifically, insulin pumps typically deliver insulin in a periodic manner with the period of delivery in the range of 2 to 3 minutes and the duration of delivery at each period being on the order of a few seconds or less. The amount of insulin that is delivered each period may be varied depending on the overall insulin delivery rate that is desired.
- the analyte data is collected continuously (as, for example, a continuous current of glucose oxidation) but is typically reported to the user periodically.
- the analyte reporting period is typically 1 to 10 minutes and glucose oxidation current needs to be collected for 10 to 30 seconds in order to generate a reportable glucose value (to allow for filtering etc.).
- analyte monitoring and insulin delivery may necessitate placement of an analyte sensor in close proximity to an insulin infusion cannula on the body.
- Such close proximity engenders the possibility of insulin delivery interfering with the analyte measurements.
- glucose measurement in this area would not be representative of the glucose concentration in the body as a whole. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for temporal spacing of blood glucose measurements and insulin delivery to mitigate the possible interference between insulin infusion and glucose measurements.
- the temporal spacing of analyte measurement and insulin delivery may include providing a large a temporal space from after insulin delivery and before taking a analyte measurement. Since both analyte measurement and insulin delivery are performed periodically, a maximum spacing in time may be achieved if analyte measurement substantially immediately precedes insulin delivery. During the time between insulin delivery and the subsequent glucose measurement, infused insulin has time to diffuse and be transported away from the infusion site due to normal circulation of interstitial fluid. An example timeline of temporally spaced analyte measurement and insulin delivery is shown in FIG. 13 . If multiple analyte measurements are taken between insulin delivery points, there should always be a reading just prior to insulin delivery and as well just after insulin delivery to minimize the affect of injected insulin on the glucose measurement readings.
- readings are typically taken periodically for simplicity in processing, a reading may be taken out of time with other readings and scaled appropriately for the overall reading average. Similarly, the insulin delivery point may be delayed slightly until after the reading with little or no affect as the readings typically occur much more frequently than the infusions, which are intended to act over longer periods of time.
- other timing considerations may be considered depending on the environment in which the integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system is used by the patient, within the scope of the present disclosure to minimize potential error on measured analyte levels and/or introduce noise or potential adverse effects to the infusion rates of the infusion device.
- fluctuation in the power supplies of the infusion device and/or the analyte monitoring system including, for example, batteries or related power distribution circuitry may introduce electrical noise effects which may adversely affect the measured readings associated with the analyte monitoring system.
- the analyte monitoring system when configured to be in an active state so as to be transmitting or receiving data, or when the pump cycle of the infusion device is active, the power supply may be affected by the load from the data transmission/reception, or the pumping cycle.
- the adverse effect of the power supply in addition to noise from other components of the electronic circuitry may introduce undesirable noise and adversely affect the accuracy of the analyte sensor measurements.
- the transmitter unit 150 may be configured to monitor the timing or occurrence of the measured analyte level received from the analyte sensor 160 and the data transmission timing of the transmitter unit 150 such that the two events do not substantially overlap or occur at substantially the same time.
- the analyte monitor unit 120 may be configured to compare the timing of the analyte sensor 160 measurement and the timing of the data transmission from the transmitter unit 150 , and to discard data analyte related data received from the transmitter unit 150 which coincide with the timing of the analyte measurements by the analyte sensor 160 .
- air bubble detection in the insulin tubing may be provided, by monitoring fluid motion that would also detect the absence of fluid such as that due to an air bubble in the line.
- the flow sensor may be configured to generate zero current when an air bubble is present.
- colorization of insulin may be provided for air bubble detection in the tubing. Since pharmaceutical insulin is a clear colorless liquid, it is difficult to visually discriminate between insulin and air in tubing that carries insulin from the insulin pump to the cannula. By providing a color tint to the insulin it would be much easier to visually identify air bubbles in the tubing and be able to remove them before they cause problems.

Description
- The present application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/032,593 filed Feb. 15, 2008, entitled “Modular Combination Of Medication Infusion And Analyte Monitoring” which claims priority under §35 U.S.C. 119(e) to U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/890,497 filed Feb. 19, 2007, entitled “Modular Combination Of Medication Infusion And Analyte Monitoring”, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for integrating infusion systems and analyte monitoring systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing modular combination for integrated infusion and 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.
- Continued development and improvement in the external infusion pump therapy in recent years have drawn much appeal to the diabetic patients for, among others, improved management of diabetes by better regulating and controlling the intake of insulin. Typically, the patient inserts a cannula which is connected to as infusion tubing attached to an external pump, and insulin is administered based on a preprogrammed basal profiles. Moreover, the external infusion devices presently available include computational capability to determined suitable bolus doses such as carbohydrate bolus and correction bolus, for example, to be administered in conjunction with the infusion device executing the patient's basal profile.
- The basal profiles are generally determined by the patient's physician or caretaker and are based on a number of factors including the patient's insulin sensitivity and physiological condition which are diagnosed by the patient's physician, for example, and are typically intended to as accurately estimate the patient's glucose levels over a predetermined time period during which the patient is infusing insulin. The glucose levels may be estimated based on the patient's periodic discrete testing using a test strip and a blood glucose meter such as Freestyle® Glucose Meter available from Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., of Alameda, Calif. Such estimations are, however, prone to error, and do not accurately mirror the patient's actual physiological condition.
- Furthermore, each aspect of the infusion and the analyte monitoring require components that are configured to execute the associated functions related to, for example, the control and management of insulin delivery and analyte monitoring. In addition, these components are prone to failure or otherwise periodic replacement due to ordinary usage. In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to have a modular system including medication delivery unit such as an insulin pump, and an analyte monitoring device such as a continuous glucose monitoring system, that would allow for component based replacement when one or more aspects of the overall therapy management system fails or requires replacement.
- In accordance with the various embodiments of the present disclosure, there are provided method and system for modular combination of medication delivery and physiological condition monitoring.

FIG. 1 illustrates an integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 1 , the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitoring system 100 in one embodiment of the present disclosure includes aninfusion device 110 connected to aninfusion tubing 130 for liquid transport or infusion, and which is further coupled to acannula 170. As can be seen fromFIG. 1 , thecannula 170 is configured to be mountably coupled to atransmitter unit 150, where thetransmitter unit 150 is also mountably coupled to ananalyte sensor 160. Also provided is ananalyte monitor unit 120 which is configured to wirelessly communicate with the transmitter unit over acommunication path 140. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , in one embodiment of the present disclosure, thetransmitter unit 150 is configured for unidirectional wireless communication over thecommunication path 140 to theanalyte monitor unit 120. In one embodiment, theanalyte monitor unit 120 may be configured to include a transceiver unit (not shown) for bidirectional communication over thecommunication path 140. Thetransmitter unit 150 in one embodiment may be configured to periodically or continuously transmit signals associated with analyte levels detected by theanalyte sensor 160 to theanalyte monitor unit 120. Theanalyte monitor unit 120 may be configured to receive the signals from thetransmitter unit 150 and in one embodiment, is configured to perform data storage and processing based on one or more preprogrammed or predetermined processes. - For example, in one embodiment, the
analyte monitor unit 120 is configured to store the received signals associated with analyte levels in a data storage unit (not shown). Alternatively, or in addition, theanalyte monitor unit 120 may be configured to process the signals associated with the analyte levels to generate trend indication by, for example, visual display of a line chart or an angular icon based display for output display on itsdisplay unit 121. Additional information may be output displayed on thedisplay unit 121 of theanalyte monitor unit 120 including, but not limited to, the substantially contemporaneous and monitored real time analyte level of the patient received from thetransmitter unit 150 as detected by thesensor 160. The real time monitored analyte level may be displayed in a numeric format or in any other suitable format which provides the patient with the accurate measurement of the substantially real time analyte level detected by thesensor 160. - Analytes that may be monitored or determined by the
sensor 160 include, for example, acetyl choline, amylase, bilirubin, cholesterol, chorionic gonadotropin, creatine kinase (e.g., CK-MB), creatine, DNA, fructosamine, glucose, glutamine, growth hormones, hormones, ketones, lactate, peroxide, prostate-specific antigen, prothrombin, RNA, thyroid stimulating hormone, and troponin. The concentration of drugs, such as, for example, antibiotics (e.g., gentamicin, vancomycin, and the like), digitoxin, digoxin, drugs of abuse, theophylline, and warfarin, may also be determined. - Referring back to
FIG. 1 , thesensor 160 may include a short term (for example, 3 day, 5 day or 7 day use) analyte sensor which is replaced after its intended useful life. Moreover, in one embodiment, thesensor 160 is configured to be positioned subcutaneous to the skin of the patient such that at least a portion of the analyte sensor is maintained in fluid contact with the patient's analyte such as, for example, interstitial fluid or blood. In addition, thecannula 170 which is configured to similarly be positioned under the patient's skin is connected to theinfusion tubing 130 of theinfusion device 110 so as to deliver medication such as insulin to the patient. Moreover, in one embodiment, thecannula 170 is configured to be replaced with the replacement of thesensor 160. - In one aspect of the present disclosure, the
cannula 170 and thesensor 160 may be configured to be subcutaneously positioned under the skin of the patient using an insertion mechanism (not shown) such as an insertion gun which may include, for example, a spring biased or loaded insertion mechanism to substantially accurately position thecannula 170 and thesensor 160 under the patient's skin. In this manner, thecannula 170 and thesensor 160 may be subcutaneously positioned with substantially little or no perceived pain by the patient. Alternatively, thecannula 170 and/or thesensor 160 may be configured to be manually inserted by the patient through the patient's skin. After positioning thecannula 170 and thesensor 160, they may be substantially firmly retained in position by anadhesive layer 180 which is configured to adhere to the skin of the patient for the duration of the time period during which thesensor 160 and thecannula 170 are subcutaneously positioned. - Moreover, in one embodiment, the
transmitter unit 150 may be mounted after the subcutaneous positioning of thesensor 160 and thecannula 150 so as to be in electrical contact with the sensor electrodes. Similarly, theinfusion tubing 130 may be configured to operatively couple to the housing of thetransmitter unit 150 so as to be accurately positioned for alignment with thecannula 170 and to provide a substantially water tight seal. Exemplary analyte systems that may be employed are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,134,461, 6,175,752, 6,121,611, 6,560,471, 6,746,582, and elsewhere. - Referring back to
FIG. 1 , theinfusion device 110 may include capabilities to program basal profiles, calculation of bolus doses including, but not limited to correction bolus, carbohydrate bolus, extended bolus, and dual bolus, which may be performed by the patient using theinfusion device 110, and may be based on one or more factors including the patient's insulin sensitivity, insulin on board, intended carbohydrate intake (for example, for the carbohydrate bolus calculation prior to a meal), the patient's measured or detected glucose level, and the patient's glucose trend information. In a further embodiment, the bolus calculation capabilities may also be provided in theanalyte monitor unit 120. - In one embodiment, the
analyte monitor unit 120 is configured with a substantially compact housing that can be easily carried by the patient. In addition, theinfusion device 110 similarly may be configured as a substantially compact device which can be easily and conveniently worn on the patient's clothing (for example, housed in a holster or a carrying device worn or clipped to the patient's belt or other parts of the clothing). Referring yet again toFIG. 1 , theanalyte monitor unit 120 and/or theinfusion device 110 may include a user interface such as information input mechanism by the patient as well as data output including, for example, thedisplay unit 121 on theanalyte monitor unit 120, or similarly adisplay unit 111 on theinfusion device 110. - One or more audio output devices such as, for example, speakers or buzzers may be integrated with the housing of the
infusion device 110 and/or theanalyte monitor unit 120 so as to output audible alerts or alarms based on the occurrence of one or more predetermined conditions associated with theinfusion device 110 or theanalyte monitor unit 120. For example, theinfusion device 110 may be configured to output an audible alarm or alert to the patient upon detection of an occlusion in theinfusion tubing 130 or the occurrence of a timed event such as a reminder to prime the infusion tubing upon replacement of thecannula 170, and the like. - The
analyte monitor unit 120 may be similarly configured to output an audible alarm or alert when a predetermined condition or a pre-programmed event occurs, such as, for example, a reminder to replace thesensor 160 after its useful life (of, for example, 3 days, 5 days or 7 days, or more), or one or more alerts associated with the data received from thetransmitter unit 150 corresponding to the patient's monitored analyte levels. Such alerts or alarms may include a warning alert to the patient that the detected analyte level is beyond a predetermined threshold level, or the trend of the detected analyte levels within a given time period is indicative of a significant condition such as potential hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, which require attention or corrective action. It is to be noted that the examples of audible alarms and/or alerts are described above for illustrative purposes only, that within the scope of the present disclosure, other events or conditions may be programmed into theinfusion device 110 or theanalyte monitor unit 120 or both, so as to alert or notify the patient of the occurrence or the potential occurrence of such events or conditions. - In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, audible alarms may be output alone, or in combination with one or more of a visual alert such as an output display on the
display unit infusion device 110 or theanalyte monitor unit 120, respectively, or vibratory alert which would provide a tactile indication to the patient of the associated alarm and/or alert. - Moreover, referring yet again to
FIG. 1 , while oneanalyte monitor unit 120 and onetransmitter unit 150 are shown, within the scope of the present disclosure, additional analyte monitor units or transmitter units may be provided such that, for example, thetransmitter unit 150 may be configured to transmit to multiple analyte monitor units substantially simultaneously. Alternatively, multiple transmitter units coupled to multiple sensors concurrently in fluid contact with the patient's analyte may be configured to transmit to theanalyte monitor unit 120, or to multiple analyte monitor units. For example, an additional transmitter unit coupled to an additional sensor may be provided in the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitoring system 100 which does not include thecannula 170, and which may be used to perform functions associated with thesensor 160 such as sensor calibration, sensor data verification, and the like. - In one embodiment, the
transmitter unit 150 is configured to transmit the sampled data signals received from thesensor 160 without acknowledgement from theanalyte monitor unit 120 that the transmitted sampled data signals have been received. For example, thetransmitter unit 150 may be configured to transmit the encoded sampled data signals at a fixed rate (e.g., at one minute intervals, or any suitable rate) after the completion of the initial power on procedure. Likewise, theanalyte monitor unit 120 may be configured to detect such transmitted encoded sampled data signals at predetermined time intervals. Alternatively, thetransmitter unit 150 and theanalyte monitor unit 120 may be configured for bi-directional communication over thecommunication path 140. - Additionally, in one aspect, the
analyte monitor unit 120 may include two sections. The first section of theanalyte monitor unit 120 may include an analog interface section that is configured to communicate with thetransmitter unit 150 via thecommunication path 140. In one embodiment, the analog interface section may include an RF receiver and an antenna for receiving and amplifying the data signals from thetransmitter unit 150, which are thereafter, demodulated with a local oscillator and filtered through a band-pass filter. The second section of theanalyte monitor unit 120 may include a data processing section which is configured to process the data signals received from thetransmitter unit 150 such as by performing data decoding, error detection and correction, data clock generation, and data bit recovery, for example. - In operation, upon completing the power-on procedure, the
analyte monitor unit 120 is configured to detect the presence of thetransmitter unit 150 within its range based on, for example, the strength of the detected data signals received from thetransmitter unit 150 or predetermined transmitter identification information. Upon successful synchronization with thetransmitter unit 150, theanalyte monitor unit 120 is configured to begin receiving from thetransmitter unit 150 data signals corresponding to the patient's detected analyte, for example glucose, levels. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , theanalyte monitor unit 120 or theinfusion device 110, or both may be configured to further communicate with a data processing terminal (not shown) which may include a desktop computer terminal, a data communication enabled kiosk, a laptop computer, a handheld computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDAs), or a data communication enabled mobile telephone, and the like, each of which may be configured for data communication via a wired or a wireless connection. The data processing terminal for example may include physician's terminal and/or a bedside terminal in a hospital environment. - The
communication path 140 for data communication between thetransmitter unit 150 and theanalyte monitor unit 120 ofFIG. 1 may include an RF communication link, Bluetooth communication link, infrared communication link, or any other type of suitable wireless communication connection between two or more electronic devices. The data communication link may also include a wired cable connection such as, for example, but not limited to an RS232 connection, USB connection, or serial cable connection. - Referring yet again to
FIG. 1 , in a further aspect of the present disclosure, theanalyte monitor unit 120 or the infusion device 110 (or both) may also include a test strip port configured to receive a blood glucose test strip for discrete sampling of the patient's blood for glucose level determination. An example of the functionality of blood glucose test strip meter unit may be found in Freestyle® Blood Glucose Meter available from the assignee of the present disclosure, Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. - In the manner described above, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the
cannula 170 for infusing insulin or other suitable medication is integrated with theadhesive patch 180 for thesensor 160 and thetransmitter unit 150 of the analyte monitoring system. Accordingly, only one on-skin patch can be worn by the patient (for example, on the skin of the abdomen) rather than two separate patches for theinfusion device cannula 170, and the analyte monitoring system sensor 160 (with the transmitter unit 150). Thus, the Type-1 diabetic patient may conveniently implement infusion therapy in conjunction with real time glucose monitoring while minimizing potential skin irritation on theadhesive patch 180 site on the patient's skin, and thus provide more insertion sites with less irritation. - In addition, the integrated infusion device and
analyte monitoring system 100 as shown inFIG. 1 may be configured such that theinfusion tubing 130 may be disconnected from theinfusion device 110 as well as from the housing of the transmitter 150 (or the adhesive patch 180) such that, optionally, the patient may configure the system as continuous analyte monitoring system while disabling theinfusion device 110 functionality. Likewise, a patient may configure the system as an infusion device while disabling the continuous analyte monitoring system functions. - Moreover, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, the patient may better manage the physiological conditions associated with diabetes by having substantially continuous real time glucose data, trend information based on the substantially continuous real time glucose data, and accordingly, modify or adjust the infusion levels delivered by the
infusion device 110 from the pre-programmed basal profiles that theinfusion device 110 is configured to implement. -

Also shown inFIG. 2 is atransmitter unit 240 which is in electrical contact with ananalyte sensor 250, where thecannula 260 and theanalyte sensor 250 are subcutaneously positioned under the skin of the patient, and retained in position by an adhesive layer orpatch 270. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitor unit 210 is configured to wirelessly communicate with thetransmitter unit 240 over acommunication path 230 such as an RF communication link. Compared with the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 , it can be seen that in the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 , the infusion device and the analyte monitor are integrated into asingle housing 210. In this manner, thetransmitter unit 240 may be configured to transmit signals corresponding to the detected analyte levels received from theanalyte sensor 250 to the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitor unit 210 for data analysis and processing. - Accordingly, the patient may conveniently receive real time glucose levels from the
transmitter unit 240 and accordingly, determine whether to modify the existing basal profile(s) in accordance with which insulin is delivered to the patient. In this manner, the functionalities of the analyte monitor unit may be integrated within the compact housing of the infusion device to provide additional convenience to the patient, for example, by providing the real time glucose data as well as other relevant information such as glucose trend data to the user interface of the infusion device, so that the patient may readily and easily determine any suitable modification to the infusion rate of the insulin pump. - In one embodiment, the configurations of each component shown in
FIG. 2 including thecannula 260, theanalyte sensor 250, thetransmitter unit 240, theadhesive layer 270, thecommunication path 230, as well as theinfusion tubing 220 and the functionalities of the infusion device and the analyte monitor are substantially similar to the corresponding respective component as described above in conjunction withFIG. 1 . - Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the additional convenience may be provided to the patient in maintaining and enhancing diabetes management by, for example, having a single integrated device such as the integrated infusion device and
analyte monitor unit 210 which would allow the patient to easily manipulate and manage insulin therapy using a single user interface system of the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitor unit 210. Indeed, by providing the information associated with both the glucose levels and insulin infusion in a single device, the patient may be provided with the additional convenience in managing diabetes and improving insulin therapy. -
FIG. 3 illustrates an integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

FIG. 5 illustrates an integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system in accordance with still a further embodiment of the present disclosure. As compared with the embodiment shown inFIG. 4 , the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitoring system 500 ofFIG. 5 includes an integrated infusion device andanalyte monitoring unit 510.

FIG. 7A illustrates the integrated infusion device and monitoring system shown inFIG. 6 in further detail in one embodiment of the present disclosure, whileFIGS. 7A-7B illustrate the analog front end circuitry located at the patient interface and the pump assembly, respectively, of the integrated infusion device and monitoring system shown inFIG. 7A in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 7A , aninfusion device 710 connected to aninfusion tubing 720 with integral wires provided therein for connection to the electrodes of the analyte sensor is shown. Theinfusion tubing 720 is further connected to anadhesive patch 730 which is configured to retaincannula 750 andanalyte sensor 740 in the desired subcutaneous position under the skin of the patient. - Referring to
FIG. 7A , in one embodiment of the present disclosure, theinfusion device 710 may be provided with a first analog frontend circuitry unit 711, while the adhesive patch may be provided with a second analog frontend circuitry unit 731. The integral wires from theanalyte sensor 740 is configured to extend from theinfusion device 710 to theadhesive layer 730 via theinfusion tubing 720. Since theanalyte sensor 740 in one embodiment is a passive component, the signals on the working electrode and the reference electrodes of the analyte sensors are subject to noise given the high impendence of the electrodes and the length of the integral wires (in excess of a few centimeters). The noise in turn may potentially adversely affect the signals on the working and reference electrodes which may distort the measured analyte levels detected by theanalyte sensor 740. - Given the length of the integral wire which corresponds to the length of the
infusion tubing 720, in one embodiment, the signals from the working and reference electrodes may be converted to low impedance signals to minimize adverse impact from the noise. Accordingly, theinfusion device 710 may be provided with a first analog frontend circuitry unit 711, while theadhesive patch 730 may be provided with a second analog frontend circuitry unit 731 as discussed in further detail below in conjunction withFIGS. 7B and 7C . - Referring now to
FIG. 7B , the second analog frontend circuitry unit 731 disposed on theadhesive patch 730 on the patient's skin, in one embodiment includes an a trans-impedance amplifier (current to voltage converter or “I-to-V”) 731A configured to convert the working electrode (W) current to a voltage (Vw), and to provide a guard signal (G), and aservo segment 731B to drive the counter electrode (C) voltage (Vc) based on the reference electrode (R) voltage. Also shown inFIG. 7B is a Low-Pass Filter (LPF) and gainstage 711A that follow each of the I-to-V and servo stages, and which is configured in one embodiment to drive an A/D (Analog-to-Digital)converter unit 711C whose results are read by a controller such as a central processing unit (CPU) 711D. The A/D converter unit 711C and theCPU 711D and other peripherals may be combined into a single integrated circuit (IC) known as a microcontroller (μC) such as the MSP430 product line. - Referring now to
FIG. 7C , in one embodiment, the second analog frontend circuitry unit 731 may be implemented by a pair of operational amplifiers (731A and 731B), four resistors (R1, R2, R3, Rf), and a bypass capacitor (Cb). The I-to-F stage usingoperational amplifier 731A is generated by the action of the input current from the working electrode (W) flowing through the feedback resistor (Rf) and creating a voltage differential that is driven by theoperational amplifier 731A as the low impedance signal Vw. The offset for the Vw signal is established by the resistor divider comprised of R1, R2 and R3 which also creates the voltage of the guard signal (G)—a signal that is at the same potential or voltage as the working electrode (W). - The servo, using
operational amplifier 731B, in one embodiment, drives the counter electrode (C) voltage to the sensor so that the reference electrode (R) is at the second value set by the resistor divider comprised of resistors R1, R2 and R3. This maintains the working electrode (W) voltage above the reference electrode (R) by a set amount known as the “Poise Voltage” (i.e 40 mV). The bypass capacitor (Cb) may be a small, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitor, such as a 0.1 uF (100 nF) multi-layer ceramic (MLC) capacitor, that acts to provide local energy and reduce noise on the circuit. The voltage source for this circuit may be provided by the potential difference between V+ and V− where, for example, V+ may be 5V and V− may be ground (GND) or V+ may be +3V and V− may be −3V. - In one embodiment, the
operational amplifiers - In one aspect, the analyte sensor described above in conjunction with the Figures may include one or more working electrodes and a reference electrode or a reference/counter electrode disposed on a substrate, and further, may optionally include a separate counter electrode. Indeed, in one aspect, the various electrodes of the sensor as well as the substrate and the dielectric layers may be provided in a stacked, side by side, or layered configuration or construction. For example, in one aspect, the sensor may include a substrate layer and a first conducting layer such as a carbon trace disposed on at least a portion of the substrate layer, and which may comprise the working electrode. Also shown disposed on at least a portion of the first conducting layer is a sensing layer.
- A first insulation layer such as a first dielectric layer may be disposed or stacked on at least a portion of the first conducting layer, and further, a second conducting layer such as another carbon trace may be disposed or stacked on top of at least a portion of the first insulation layer (or dielectric layer). The second conducting layer may comprise the reference electrode, and in one aspect, may include a layer of silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl).
- Further, a second insulation layer such as a dielectric layer in one embodiment may be disposed or stacked on at least a portion of the second conducting layer. Further, a third conducting layer which may include carbon trace and that may comprise the counter electrode may be disposed on at least a portion of the second insulation layer. Finally, a third insulation layer may be disposed or stacked on at least a portion of the third conducting layer. In this manner, the analyte sensor may be configured in a stacked, side by side or layered construction or configuration such that at least a portion of each of the conducting layers is separated by a respective insulation layer (for example, a dielectric layer).
- Additionally, within the scope of the present disclosure, some or all of the electrodes of the analyte sensor may be provided on the same side of the substrate in a stacked construction as described above, or alternatively, may be provided in a co-planar manner such that each electrode is disposed on the same plane on the substrate, however, with a dielectric material or insulation material disposed between the conducting layers/electrodes. Furthermore, in still another aspect, the one or more conducting layers such as the electrodes of the sensor may be disposed on opposing sides of the substrate.
- Referring again to the Figures,

In one embodiment, the “tail”segment 815 of theanalyte sensor 810 is configured to be positioned subcutaneously under the patient's skin so as to be in fluid contact with the patient. - Referring now to
FIG. 8B ,analyte sensor 820 is provided with the analogfront end portion 821 where the four contacts shown are V+, V−, Vw, and Vc signals in accordance with one embodiment in place of the workingelectrode 811, aguard trace 812, areference electrode 813, and acounter electrode 814, respectively. In this manner, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, these signals of theactive analyte sensor 820 are low impedance and thus less subject to noise than the passive sensor signals. Moreover, in one embodiment, theanalyte sensor 820 configuration may include a flex circuit. - Referring now to
FIG. 8C , in a further embodiment, an active sensor of similar construction to theactive sensor 820 ofFIG. 8B but with much smaller dimensions is shown. More specifically,analyte sensor 830 is provided with four contacts configured for direct wire bonding rather than a mechanical contact system as indicated by the large contact areas on the previous two sensor configurations shown inFIGS. 8A-8B . Since the shape of theanalyte sensor 830 is reduced, thesensor 830 may be wrapped around the cannula (for example,cannula 470 ofFIG. 4 ) and thus only a single entry site may be required for the patient analyte monitoring and insulin infusion. Moreover, within the scope of the present disclosure, additional sensor/cannula configurations may be provided where the sensor circuitry and cannula are created as a single assembly such as a cannula with thecircuit 831 fabricated on the surface. -
FIG. 9 illustrates an integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system with the infusion device and the monitoring system transmitter integrated into a single patch worn by the patient in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 9 , the integrated infusion device andanalyte monitoring system 900 includes an integrated patch pump andtransmitter unit 910 provided on anadhesive layer 960, and which is configured to be placed on the skin of the patient, so as to securely positioncannula 950 andanalyte sensor 940 subcutaneously under the skin of the patient. The housing of the integrated infusion pump andtransmitter unit 910 is configured in one embodiment to include the infusion mechanism to deliver medication such as insulin to the patient via thecannula 950. - In addition, the integrated patch pump and
transmitter unit 910 is configured transmit signals associated with the detected analyte levels measured by theanalyte sensor 940, over awireless communication path 930 such as an RF link. The signals are transmitted from the on body integrated patch pump andtransmitter unit 910 to acontroller unit 920 which is configured to control the operation of the integrated patch pump andtransmitter unit 910, as well as to receive the transmitted signals from the integrated patch pump andtransmitter unit 910 which correspond to the detected analyte levels of the patient. - Referring back to

No. 6,916,159 assigned to the assignee of the present disclosure Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. In addition, while a wireless communication over thecommunication path 930 is shown inFIG. 9 , thewireless communication path 930 may be replaced by a set of wires to provide a wired connection to thecontroller unit 920. - In this manner, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the integrated infusion device and
analyte monitoring system 900 does not use an infusion tubing which may provide additional comfort and convenience to the patient by providing additional freedom from having to wear a cumbersome tubing. -
FIG. 10 is a detailed view of the infusion device cannula integrated with analyte monitoring system sensor electrodes in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 10 , there is shown an infusion device cannula withanalyte sensor electrodes 1020 disposed therein, and mounted to anadhesive patch 1010 so as to retain its position securely in the patient. More specifically, as can be seen fromFIG. 10 , the cannula withanalyte sensor electrodes 1020 includesensor electrodes cannula tip 1020, and further, positioned so as to maintain fluid contact with the patient's analyte. In one aspect, some or all of the electrodes of the analyte sensor may be wrapped around the cannula, stacked on one or more inner and/or outer surfaces of the cannula. -
FIG. 12A-12C each illustrate a cross sectional view of the infusion device cannula integrated with continuous analyte monitoring system sensor electrodes ofFIG. 10 in accordance with the various embodiments respectively, of the present disclosure.

More specifically, it can be seen from the Figure that each of the three insulated wires are provided with aninsulation layer 1225 of tubing wall individually surrounding eachinsulated wire insulated wires tubing wall 1220. - Referring now to
FIG. 12B in one embodiment of the present disclosure, theinsulated wires tubing wall 1220, with thetube bore 1224 for insulin delivery and theinsulated wires FIG. 12B . Referring now toFIG. 12C , in still a further embodiment of the present disclosure, each of theinsulated wires tubing 1220 and covered with asheath 1210, thus providing thetubing wall 1220, thetubing bore 1224 for insulin delivery, the individualinsulated wires protective sheath 1210, which may also serve as an electromagnetic shield to eliminate electronic noise as substantially shown in the Figure. - Referring again to the Figures, the embodiments shown in
FIGS. 12A and 12C may have a larger cross-sectional area (thus a larger hole needed to be punctured on the skin of the patient), but are likely easier to manufacture, more reliable and easier to make connection to the analyte sensor electronics). Additionally, within the scope of the present disclosure, an optical data transmission (i.e. fiber optics) along insulin delivery tubing between sensor and pump may be provided instead of integral wires as discussed above. -
FIG. 11A illustrates a component perspective view of the infusion device cannula integrated with analyte monitoring system sensor electrodes in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, whileFIG. 11B illustrates a top planar view of the analyte monitoring system transmitter unit integrated with infusion device in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure.

-
FIG. 13 is a timing chart for illustrating the temporal spacing of blood glucose measurement and insulin delivery by the integrated infusion device and monitoring system in one embodiment. More specifically, insulin pumps typically deliver insulin in a periodic manner with the period of delivery in the range of 2 to 3 minutes and the duration of delivery at each period being on the order of a few seconds or less. The amount of insulin that is delivered each period may be varied depending on the overall insulin delivery rate that is desired. The analyte data is collected continuously (as, for example, a continuous current of glucose oxidation) but is typically reported to the user periodically. The analyte reporting period is typically 1 to 10 minutes and glucose oxidation current needs to be collected for 10 to 30 seconds in order to generate a reportable glucose value (to allow for filtering etc.). - Indeed, the integration of analyte monitoring and insulin delivery may necessitate placement of an analyte sensor in close proximity to an insulin infusion cannula on the body. Such close proximity engenders the possibility of insulin delivery interfering with the analyte measurements. For example, if insulin infusion should result in a localized decrease in the glucose concentration in the area of the body near the infusion site, then glucose measurement in this area would not be representative of the glucose concentration in the body as a whole. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for temporal spacing of blood glucose measurements and insulin delivery to mitigate the possible interference between insulin infusion and glucose measurements.
- In accordance with one embodiment, the temporal spacing of analyte measurement and insulin delivery may include providing a large a temporal space from after insulin delivery and before taking a analyte measurement. Since both analyte measurement and insulin delivery are performed periodically, a maximum spacing in time may be achieved if analyte measurement substantially immediately precedes insulin delivery. During the time between insulin delivery and the subsequent glucose measurement, infused insulin has time to diffuse and be transported away from the infusion site due to normal circulation of interstitial fluid. An example timeline of temporally spaced analyte measurement and insulin delivery is shown in
FIG. 13 . If multiple analyte measurements are taken between insulin delivery points, there should always be a reading just prior to insulin delivery and as well just after insulin delivery to minimize the affect of injected insulin on the glucose measurement readings. - Although readings are typically taken periodically for simplicity in processing, a reading may be taken out of time with other readings and scaled appropriately for the overall reading average. Similarly, the insulin delivery point may be delayed slightly until after the reading with little or no affect as the readings typically occur much more frequently than the infusions, which are intended to act over longer periods of time. In addition, other timing considerations may be considered depending on the environment in which the integrated infusion device and analyte monitoring system is used by the patient, within the scope of the present disclosure to minimize potential error on measured analyte levels and/or introduce noise or potential adverse effects to the infusion rates of the infusion device.
- More specifically, fluctuation in the power supplies of the infusion device and/or the analyte monitoring system including, for example, batteries or related power distribution circuitry may introduce electrical noise effects which may adversely affect the measured readings associated with the analyte monitoring system. For example, when the analyte monitoring system is configured to be in an active state so as to be transmitting or receiving data, or when the pump cycle of the infusion device is active, the power supply may be affected by the load from the data transmission/reception, or the pumping cycle. The adverse effect of the power supply in addition to noise from other components of the electronic circuitry may introduce undesirable noise and adversely affect the accuracy of the analyte sensor measurements.
- Accordingly, the transmitter unit 150 (
FIG. 1 ) for example, may be configured to monitor the timing or occurrence of the measured analyte level received from theanalyte sensor 160 and the data transmission timing of thetransmitter unit 150 such that the two events do not substantially overlap or occur at substantially the same time. Alternatively, the analyte monitor unit 120 (FIG. 1 ) may be configured to compare the timing of theanalyte sensor 160 measurement and the timing of the data transmission from thetransmitter unit 150, and to discard data analyte related data received from thetransmitter unit 150 which coincide with the timing of the analyte measurements by theanalyte sensor 160. - Moreover in one embodiment, air bubble detection in the insulin tubing may be provided, by monitoring fluid motion that would also detect the absence of fluid such as that due to an air bubble in the line. In one embodiment, the flow sensor may be configured to generate zero current when an air bubble is present.
- In addition, colorization of insulin may be provided for air bubble detection in the tubing. Since pharmaceutical insulin is a clear colorless liquid, it is difficult to visually discriminate between insulin and air in tubing that carries insulin from the insulin pump to the cannula.
