DEVICE FOR IMPLANTING AN ANALYTE SENSOR |
摘要 |
A device and method for implanting an analyte sensor into a subcutaneous fat layer is presented. The device comprises a housing that is positioned above the subcutaneous fat layer, a blade shuttle, and a sensor shuttle. In one embodiment, a spring is compressed between the blade shuttle and the sensor shuttle. The blade shuttle and sensor shuttle move towards the subcutaneous fat layer. When a spring force is released by the spring, the blade shuttle moves towards and pierces into the subcutaneous fat layer creating a pathway into the subcutaneous fat layer. The analyte sensor is implanted by the sensor shuttle by following the blade shuttle into the pathway created by the blade shuttle. The blade shuttle is then retracted from the subcutaneous fat layer, leaving the analyte sensor in the fat layer. |
