Systems and methods for priming an intraocular pressure sensor in an intraocular implant
First Claim
1. An intraocular pressure (TOP) sensing device for implantation in an eye of a patient, comprising:
- a pressure sensor;
a pressure sensor cap comprising;
a recess having an inner surface, the recess configured to receive the pressure sensor such that a chamber is formed by the pressure sensor and the inner surface, andat least one chamber inlet permitting a fluid to communicate with the chamber; and
at least one tube coupled to the at least one chamber inlet, the at least one tube allowing fluid communication between an anterior chamber of the eye and the chamber.

Abstract
An IOP monitoring device for implantation in an eye of a patient may include a first tube having a first opening, the first tube being configured to extend into the anterior chamber. An intraocular pressure sensing (IOP) device for implantation in an eye of a patient may include a pressure sensor, a pressure sensor cap, and a tube coupled to a chamber inlet. The pressure sensor cap may include a recess having an inner surface, the recess configured to receive the pressure sensor such that a chamber is formed by the pressure sensor and the inner surface and a chamber inlet permitting a fluid to communicate with the chamber and be primed in a bubble-free manner. The tube may be coupled to the chamber inlet to allow fluid communication between an anterior chamber of the eye and the chamber.
