Upon removal of the sensor, a removal time stamp is stored. If the identifier of an inserted sensor matches a previously-stored identifier, indicating a reinserted sensor, a reinsertion time is obtained and an elapsed removal time is checked to determine whether it exceeds a maximum removal time limit. If it does, CGM is halted. If it does not, CGM may continue with the reinserted sensor. Methods of tracking insertion and removal times of a CGM sensor are also provided, as are other aspects.

Sensor assembly apparatus and methods for continuous glucose monitors
A sensor apparatus for a continuous glucose monitoring system has a sensor housing that includes a first end having a sealing surface configured to seal against an introducer having an insertion shaft, a second end having a sealing surface configured to seal against an insertion shaft cover, and an insertion shaft opening having a width that allows the insertion shaft to travel there through and that extends between the first and second ends. The sensor housing may further include a sensor wire channel that extends between the insertion shaft opening and a sensor wire contact location in an outer surface of the sensor housing. The sensor wire channel and sensor wire contact location may be configured to receive a sensor that extends between the insertion shaft opening and the sensor wire contact location to allow the sensor to make electrical contact to system circuitry. Numerous other aspects are provided.
An apparatus for inserting a continuous analyte monitoring transmitter that includes an outer member, an inner member configured to telescope relative to the outer member, a transmitter, a bias member, an insertion device, and a pivot member. Force is applied to press the outer member toward an insertion site over the duration of a stroke. During a first portion of the stroke, the pivot member cannot pivot and the motion of the outer member translates to the insertion device until the biosensor is inserted at the insertion site. Over a second portion of the stroke, the continued motion causes a first pivot window in the outer member to overlap with a second pivot window in the inner member, allowing the pivot member to pivot and retract the insertion device from the insertion site, leaving the implanted biosensor. Upon completion of the stroke, the position of the pivot member is locked into place by engaging a locking feature of the bias member with the second pivot window to prevent the insertion member from re-entering the insertion site.
A battery-operated electronic device, such as, e.g., a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) transmitter, has a switch disconnect circuit that reduces battery discharge while the device is stored and/or in “shelf mode.” The device has two externally-accessible activation pads each configured to contact a same electrical conductor positioned in packaging for the device that causes the switch disconnect circuit to disconnect the battery from device electronics while the device is in the packaging. Upon removal of the device from the packaging, the two activation pads no longer contact the electrical conductor, causing the switch disconnect circuit to automatically connect the battery to the device electronics. Methods of reducing battery discharge in a battery-operated electronic device and other aspects are also described.
A biosensor inserter includes a push member with a push element, a contact member including a latch, a transmitter carrier supporting a transmitter and sensor assembly, and a pivot member having a latch end, the pivot member supporting an insertion device during biosensor insertion. In operation, the push member is telescoped axially by the user relative to the contact member, which is provided in contact with a user's skin. This pushes the push element against the pivot member and translates the transmitter carrier during insertion of the biosensor. During a first portion of a stroke of the insertion device, insertion of the biosensor is accomplished, and the pivot member is prevented from pivoting. In a second portion of the stroke, after latch end moves past the latch, the pivot member is allowed to pivot and the insertion device is retracted. Other system and method embodiments are provided.
Some embodiments of the present invention include pairing two wireless devices by placing at least one of two devices in a pairing mode; performing at least one pairing motion event with at least one of the wireless devices to satisfy at least one pairing condition; detecting satisfaction of the at least one pairing condition; and pairing the two wireless devices in response to detecting satisfaction of the at least one pairing condition. Numerous other aspects are provided.
