Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are embodiments that relate to algorithms and methods for calibrating an analyte sensor, and more particularly, to algorithms for calibrating an optical glucose sensor comprising an equilibrium fluorescent chemical indicator system. In particular, a method of detecting an analyte concentration is disclosed where a modified Michaelis-Menten equation comprising Michaelis-Menten parameters is used to characterize the signal generated by the analyte sensor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining glucose concentration in a physiologic fluid, the method comprising: providing an optical sensor comprising a non-enzymatic, equilibrium fluorescence chemical indicator system disposed along a distal region of an optical fiber, the chemical indicator system comprising a fluorophore operably coupled to a glucose binding moiety, wherein the fluorophore is configured to generate a fluorescent emission signal upon excitation with light,…
