Geometry of a Transcutaneous Sensor
First Claim
1. A housing for a sensor to aid in diagnosing at least one of infiltration and extravasation in Animalia tissue, the housing comprising:
- a surface configured to confront an epidermis of the Animalia tissue;
a set of emission apertures penetrating the surface;
a set of detection apertures penetrating the surface, each individual detection aperture being spaced a distance from each individual emission aperture;
a first housing portion including the surface; and
a second housing portion coupled with the first housing portion to generally define an internal volume, the sets of emission and detection apertures opening to the internal volume;
wherein a topography including the surface is configured to minimize relative movement between the first housing portion and the epidermis.

Abstract
A housing for a transcutaneous electromagnetic signal sensor including an emitter and a collector. The emitter includes an emitter end face configured to emit a first electromagnetic radiation signal that enters Animalia tissue. The collector includes a detector end face configured to collect a second electromagnetic radiation signal that exits the Animalia tissue. The second electromagnetic radiation signal includes a portion of the first electromagnetic radiation signal that is at least one of reflected, scattered and redirected from the Animalia tissue. The second electromagnetic radiation signal monitors anatomical changes over time in the Animalia tissue.
