Embodiment Construction

[0354] now refer to figure 1 , figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an optical measurement device 20 including an electromagnetic light source 40 and a detection system 42, according to some applications of the invention. Typically, the light source 40 is used to emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible range or the infrared range. Optical measurement device 20 is used to detect and measure the concentration of an analyte, such as glucose, in the interstitial fluid of a subject. (In the context of this specification, the example of glucose as an analyte is by way of illustration and not limitation.) Typically, device 20 is intended to be implanted subcutaneously under the skin 22 of a subject and includes a support 21 (e.g., a housing , brackets or glue). Sampling zone 30 is disposed within the area defined by support 21 of device 20, generally between light source 40 and detection system 42 (as shown). Support 21 is configured to help form the proper spatial relationsh...

Abstract

Apparatus is provided, including a support (21) configured to be implanted within a body of a subject and a sampling region (30, 1430) coupled to the support (21). The apparatus is configured to passively allow passage through the sampling region (30, 1430) of at least a portion of fluid from the subject. The apparatus also includes an optical measuring device in optical communication with the sampling region (30, 1430). The optical measuring device comprises at least one light source (40) configured to transmit light through at least a portion of the fluid, and at least one sensor (42) configured to measure a parameter of the fluid by detecting light passing through the fluid. Other applications are also described.
