Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 20 . (canceled) 21 . A sensor system for measuring a glucose concentration in a host, the system comprising: a transcutaneous glucose sensor configured for insertion into a host's tissue, wherein the transcutaneous glucose sensor comprises an in vivo portion and an ex vivo portion, wherein the transcutaneous glucose sensor is configured to generate sensor data associated with a glucose concentration in the host; and a mounting unit configured to be placed on a skin of the host, wherein the mounting unit is configured to receive the ex vivo portion of the transcutaneous glucose sensor, wherein the mounting unit comprises an electronics unit, wherein the electronics unit comprises a processor configured to process the generated sensor data. 22 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the mounting unit comprises a power source configured to power the electronics unit. 23 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the electronics unit is operatively connected to the transcutaneous glucose sensor. 24 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the electronics unit comprises an antenna configured to radiate or receive a radio frequency transmission.
