PERCUTANEOUS BIOLOGICAL FLUID CONSTITUENT SAMPLING AND MEASUREMENT DEVICES.

Abstract TITLE: PERCUTANEOUS BIOLOGICAL FLUID CONSTITUENT SAMPLING AND MEASUREMENT DEVICES. The invention relates to a system for samplingbiological fluid constituents from the skin of a patient and measuring a target constituent within the biological fluid , the system comprising: a micro-needle at least a portion of which is hollow and having an open distal end for accessing the biological fluid, an electrochemical cell associated with the microneedle, the cell comprising an outer electrode and an inner electrode wherein the electrodes each have a cylindrical configuration and are spaced from each other in a co-axial relationship, the micro-needle formed at least partially by the outer electrode; a water-absorbent gel matrix at least partially by the outer electrode; a water-absorbent gel matrix at least partially contained within the hollow portion of the micro-needle and the space between the electrodes; and a control unit in electrical communication with the electrochemical cell for measuring the concentration of the target constituent of the biological fluid.
