436514, 422 56, 422 58, 4352871, 4352872, 4352877, 435805, 435810, 435970, 436810
Abstract:
A device for evaluating at least one analyte in a test sample. The device comprises a cassette having a hollow test chamber, a test strip disposed within the test chamber for receiving the test sample, and a temperature control member. The cassette has at least one aperture extending from an exterior of the cassette to the hollow test chamber.

The temperature control member is adapted to extend through the at least one aperture in the cassette and into the test chamber for controlling the temperature of the test chamber.

Non-Invasive System For The Determination Of Analytes In Body Fluids

View page
US Patent:
7299079, Nov 20, 2007
Filed:
Feb 11, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/361895
Inventors:
Mihailo V. Rebec - Bristol IN, US
James E. Smous - Niles MI, US
Steven D. Brown - Newark DE, US
Assignee:
Bayer HealthCare LLC - Tarrytown NY
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600316, 600310
Abstract:
A system for determining the concentration of an analyte in at least one body fluid in body tissue, the system comprising an infrared light source, a body tissue interface, a detector, and a central processing unit. The body tissue interface is adapted to contact body tissue and to deliver light from the infrared light source to the contacted body tissue. The detector is adapted to receive spectral information corresponding to infrared light transmitted through the portion of body tissue being analyzed and to convert the received spectral information into an electrical signal indicative of the received spectral information. The central processing unit is adapted to compare the electrical signal to an algorithm built upon correlation with the analyte in body fluid, the algorithm adapted to convert the received spectral information into the concentration of the analyte in at least one body fluid.

Method For Correcting A Spectral Image For Optical Aberrations Using Software

View page
US Patent:
7705980, Apr 27, 2010
Filed:
Aug 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/894511
Inventors:
James E. Smous - Niles MI, US
Mihailo V. Rebec - Bristol IN, US
Michael P. Houlne - Centennial CO, US
Assignee:
Bayer Healthcare LLC - Tarrytown NY
International Classification:
G01J 3/44
G01N 21/64
G01N 21/65
US Classification:
356301, 356318
Abstract:
A spectral image is corrected for optical aberrations. Tissue is exposed to a high-intensity, narrow band of light. The narrow band of light is scattered by at least one analyte in the tissue. Raman signals are optically collected from the scattered light. The Raman signals are directed to a wavelength-separating device. The Raman signals are detected as a function of intensity and wavelength to create the spectral image. The spectral image is corrected for optical aberrations using a software algorithm to spatially reassign intensity. The software may be adapted to use a reference image to make dynamic corrections. Fluorescence signals may also be collected.

Method Of Determining The Concentration Of An Analyte In A Body Fluid And System In Therefor

US Patent:
7896819, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Oct 20, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/665118
Inventors:
Mihailo V. Rebec - Bristol IN, US
James E. Smous - Niles MI, US
Bryan S. Melle - Elkhart IN, US
Pamela J. Burson - Bristol IN, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600573, 600583
Abstract:
A method of obtaining a body fluid sample for determining the concentration of an analyte in the body fluid sample comprises applying pressure to the skin of the user. The skin is stretched so as to create a tear in the skin such that the applied pressure causes the body fluid to flow from the tear. The body fluid flowing from the tear is collected. Disclosed is also a pressure member for applying pressure to and stretching skin in preparation for forming a tear in the skin.

Allen J. Brenneman - Goshen IN, US
Mihailo V. Rebec - Bristol IN, US
James E. Smous - Niles MI, US
International Classification:
G01N 33/49
US Classification:
