Patent Images
1. A system for delivering fluid to, and sensing concentration levels of an analyte in a body of a patient, the system comprising:
- a dispensing apparatus configured to infuse fluid into the body of the patient; and
a sensing apparatus configured to be in communication with said dispensing apparatus and further configured to detect a concentration level of the analyte in the body of the patient, with the dispensing apparatus and the sensing apparatus sharing a single fluid reservoir, a single pump and a single cannula with one single exit port;
wherein the sensing apparatus is configured to detect the concentration level of the analyte upon diffusion of the analyte in the body of the patient into the fluid to be dispensed to the body of the patient by the dispensing apparatus; and
wherein the system further comprises a processor-controller apparatus configured to receive input data from the sensing apparatus and, after processing the input data, authorize the dispensing apparatus to dispense fluid based on either the detected level of the analyte in the body of the patient, or the detected level of the analyte in the body of the patient and an external input.
