Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more particularly, to a continuous analyte monitoring system.
Background
Some physiological diseases, which have long disease duration and prolonged disease duration, require real-time monitoring of certain physiological parameters of the host to better track the treatment. Such as diabetes, require real-time monitoring of the host's blood glucose. Accurate blood sugar self-monitoring is the key to realizing good blood sugar control, is beneficial to evaluating the degree of glucose metabolism disorder of diabetics, formulating a blood sugar reduction scheme, and simultaneously reflecting the blood sugar reduction treatment effect and guiding the adjustment of the treatment scheme.
Currently, most commercially available instruments refer to blood glucose meters, and patients need to collect finger peripheral blood by themselves to measure the blood glucose level at that moment. However, this method has the following drawbacks: 1. the blood glucose level change between two measurements cannot be known, and the peak value and the valley value of the blood glucose can be missed by a patient, so that complications are caused, and the patient is irreversibly injured; 2. the finger tip puncture blood sampling for many times every day causes great pain for the diabetic. In order to overcome the above drawbacks, it is desirable to provide a method for continuously monitoring blood sugar of a patient, which is convenient for the patient to know the blood sugar status of the patient in real time and take measures in time, thereby effectively controlling the state of an illness and preventing complications to achieve a high quality of life.
In order to meet the requirements, technical personnel develop a monitoring technology capable of being implanted into subcutaneous tissues to continuously monitor subcutaneous blood sugar, the technology is characterized in that a sensor electrode is inserted into the subcutaneous tissues, the sensor electrode generates an oxidation reaction between interstitial fluid of a patient and glucose in a body, an electric signal is formed when the oxidation reaction is carried out, the electric signal is converted into a blood sugar reading through electronic equipment, the blood sugar reading is transmitted to a wireless receiver every 1 to 5 minutes, corresponding blood sugar data are displayed on the wireless receiver, and a map is formed and is provided for the patient and a doctor to refer to.
A continuous analyte monitoring system, such as blood glucose monitoring, includes a sensor assembly including a sensor electrode and electronics. The electronic equipment comprises a power supply, the electronic equipment and the sensor assembly are powered by the power supply, and if the power supply continuously supplies power to the electronic equipment and the sensor assembly in a non-working time, the service life of the electronic equipment is easily shortened. To solve the problem of continuous power supply during non-operation time, for example, chinese invention patent CN109310372B discloses an analyte sensor, which is configured to disconnect a battery from a Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) by providing a removable pull tab to prevent battery consumption during transportation and storage, wherein the pull tab can be removed by a user after inserting the sensor into the body of the user. Although this method can solve the problem of continuous power supply from the power supply during non-working time, the operation is cumbersome, and the tab is prone to shift due to jolt vibration during transportation and storage, which severely leads to the tab shifting completely from between the battery and the PCBA, which in turn leads to the tab losing its insulating effect on the battery and the PCBA. If chinese utility model patent CN209529134U discloses a developments blood glucose meter based on automatic control switch, through set up the switch circuit who has the tongue tube in the transmitter, when magnet is close to the transmitter, the tongue tube action to make the switch circuit disconnection, and then make being connected of transmitter disconnection and power. In the method, the reed switch is still a power-consuming component, so that the power consumption possibility still exists after long-term use, and meanwhile, the reed switch is accidentally powered off when the power off is not expected due to the stability, for example, a magnetic field exists around the reed switch, so that the monitoring is interrupted, and the use of a user is further influenced.
In addition, the electronic device of the existing continuous analyte monitoring system needs to be discarded after being used for a certain number of times, and in order to prevent the electronic device from being used continuously after meeting the discarding condition, the currently and commonly adopted method is to record the number of times of using the electronic device through software and give a prompt at a wireless receiver when the electronic device meets the discarding condition, but the electronic device cannot be stopped from being used continuously from the root.

With the present application, each time the sensor assembly 200 is replaced, as the electronic device 400 is detached from the sensor assembly 200, portions of the second conductive portion 460 and the third conductive portion 470 are removed; when the second conductive part 460 and the third conductive part 470 are all removed, the electronic apparatus 400 meets the scrapping condition, and at this time, the electronic apparatus 400 does not have the remaining second conductive part 460 and the remaining third conductive part 470, so that even if the electronic apparatus 400 is mounted on a new sensor assembly 200, the electronic apparatus 400 cannot normally operate, and the electronic apparatus 400 is prevented from being used after meeting the scrapping requirement.
In one embodiment, portions of the second conductive portion 460 and the third conductive portion 470 are removed by the first conductive portion 240. In other embodiments, portions of the second and third conductive portions 460, 470 are removed by other components disposed on the sensor assembly 200.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 11 and fig. 12, in an embodiment, the second conductive portion 460 may include a plurality of first conductive members 461 stacked along the removing direction, the third conductive portion 470 may include a plurality of second conductive members 471 stacked along the removing direction, the number of the first conductive members 461 is the same as the number of the second conductive members 471, wherein each of the first conductive members 461 is separable, and each of the second conductive members 471 is separable. When the sensor assembly 200 is replaced each time, as the electronic device 400 is detached from the sensor assembly 200, since the plurality of first conductive members 461 are stacked along the removing direction, the plurality of second conductive members 471 are stacked along the removing direction, the first conductive portion 240 is disposed at one side of the second conductive portion 460 and the third conductive portion 470, the relative position relationship between the plurality of first conductive members 461, the plurality of second conductive members 471 and the first conductive portion 240 is determinable, and the portions of the second conductive portion 460 and the third conductive portion 470 can be removed by the first conductive portion 240, so that the positions of the first conductive member 461 closest to the first conductive portion 240 and the second conductive member 471 closest to the first conductive portion 240 can be uniquely determined. The first conductive member 461 closest to the first conductive portion 240 and the second conductive member 471 closest to the first conductive portion 240 are simultaneously removed by the first conductive portion 240, and then the remaining first conductive member 461 is automatically moved by a distance of the first conductive member 461 along the removing direction to fill in the position of the removed first conductive member 461; likewise, the remaining second conductive member 471 is automatically moved a distance of the second conductive member 471 in the removing direction to fill the position of the removed second conductive member 471. The first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 are added to make electrical contact with the first conductive portion 240 on the new sensor assembly 200. When the first and second conductive members 461 and 471 are all removed, the electronic device 400 cannot be used continuously, and therefore, the present application may limit the number of times the electronic device 400 is used by setting the number of the first and second conductive members 461 and 471. For example, if 5 first conductive members 461 and 5 second conductive members 471 are provided, the electronic device 400 cannot be used any more after being reused 5 times. In one embodiment, the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 are electrically connected to the first conductive portion at a specific position. In another embodiment, the first conductive portion 240 is elastic and can be adaptively electrically connected to the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 after the partial structure is removed.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in an embodiment, the electronic device 400 further includes an elastic restoring mechanism 480, and the elastic restoring mechanism 480 is configured to drive the remaining first conductive member 461 and the remaining second conductive member 471 in the removing direction. The elastic return mechanism 480 includes a return spring 481 that is pre-compressed and a drive seat 482 arranged at a free end of the return spring 481, the free end of the return spring 481 driving the drive seat 482 in the removal direction; one end of the driving seat 482 is fixed to a free end of the return spring 481, and the other end abuts on the first conductive member 461 closest to the driving seat 482 and the second conductive member 471 closest to the driving seat 482.

The cavity 490 extends to the outer surface of the device case 410 along the removal direction and forms an opening 491 for the first conductive portion 240 and the second conductive portion 460 to pass through on the outer surface of the device case 410.
In one embodiment, the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 are arranged in mirror symmetry. For example, the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 are semi-annular, correspondingly, the first conductive portion 240 is annular, the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 fall on the first conductive portion 240 along the projection of the removal direction, the cavity 490 in the device housing 410 is a cylindrical cavity corresponding to the outer contour of the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471, a guiding column 492 is formed in the cavity 490 along the axial direction of the cavity 490, the guiding column 492 is located between the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471, and the outer diameter of the guiding column 492 corresponds to the inner contour of the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471, the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 are defined in the gap between the guiding column 492 and the cavity 490 by the cooperation between the outer surface of the guiding column 492 and the inner surface of the cavity 490, and the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 are prevented from shaking in the cavity 490 in the radial direction. Further, two guiding ribs 493 are formed on the guiding column 492, and the two guiding ribs 493 are respectively located in two joints between the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471, so as to prevent the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 from moving circumferentially in the cavity 490. By the provision of the guide posts 492 and the guide ribs 493, it can be ensured that the first conductive member 461 and the second conductive member 471 move on a straight trajectory along the removal direction. In this embodiment, the corresponding driving seat 482 is also annular, the projection of the driving seat 482 along the removing direction falls on the first conductive portion 240, the driving seat 482 and the return spring 481 are sleeved on the guide post 492, and in one embodiment, the driving seat 482 may be made of insulating plastic.

In one embodiment, the third and fourth conductive members 462 and 472 function to fix the first and second conductive members 461 and 471 in addition to function to conduct electricity.

The fixation of the third and fourth conductive members 462, 472 to the first and second conductive members 461, 471 is overcome during the removal of the electronic device 400 from the sensor assembly 200.

Typically, the sensor assembly 200 has a service life of 14 days, and over 14 days, the sensor assembly 200 fails and is no longer in service. When replacement is required, the electronic apparatus (which can be used repeatedly for the same number of times as the number of the first conductive members 461) is taken out, and when replacement of the sensor assembly 200 is not required, the electronic apparatus is not taken out.
