Patent

CA 2579339

The invention provides methods and apparatus for detecting an analyte in blood. The apparatus is particularly suited for bringing a sensor into direct contact with blood in vivo. The apparatus comprises a sensor that detects the presence of an analyte and an assembly means (14). The assembly means has a sensor end (20), wherein the sensor end of the assembly means is affixed to the sensor, and the assembly means is adapted for coupling with a venous flow device (10). By coupling with a venous flow device, the assembly means brings the sensor into direct contact with blood flowing through the venous flow device. Examples of venous flow devices that bring the sensor into direct contact with the blood of a subject include, but are not limited to, intravenous catheters and external blood loops, such as are used in extra corporeal membrane oxygenation or hemodialysis.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil permettant de détecter un analyte dans le sang. L'appareil convient particulièrement pour amener un capteur en contact direct avec le sang in vivo. Cet appareil comprend un capteur qui détecte la présence d'un analyte et d'un moyen d'assemblage (14). Le moyen d'assemblage comprend une extrémité de capteur (20) fixée au capteur et le moyen d'assemblage est conçu pour être couplé à un dispositif de régulation veineuse (10), ce qui permet au moyen d'assemblage d'amener le capteur en contact direct avec le sang s'écoulant à travers le dispositif d'écoulement veineux. Des exemples de dispositif d'écoulement veineux qui amènent le capteur en contact direct avec le sang d'un sujet comprennent notamment des cathéters intraveineux et des boucles de sang artificiel, tels que celles utilisées dans l'oxygénation à membrane extracorporelle ou l'hémodialyse.
