Definitions
- the present invention relates to data monitoring and management systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to method and apparatus for providing leak detection in sensors used in data monitoring systems such as glucose monitoring systems.
- Glucose monitoring systems including continuous and discrete monitoring systems generally include a small, lightweight battery powered and microprocessor controlled system which is configured to detect signals proportional to the corresponding measured glucose levels using an electrometer, and radio frequency (RF) signals to transmit the collected data.
- RF radio frequency
- One aspect of such glucose monitoring systems include a sensor configuration which is, for example, mounted on the skin of a subject whose glucose level is to be monitored.
- the sensor cell may use a three-electrode (work, reference and counter electrodes) configuration driven by a controlled potential (potentiostat) analog circuit connected through a contact system.
- the current level detected by the work electrode of the sensor is relatively small such that even a small amount of leakage current from the reference or counter electrodes typically will affect the signal quality, and thus may have adverse effect upon the accuracy of the measured glucose level. This is especially true when foreign matter is present that causes a false high glucose reading, and which may lead to improper patient treatment. Furthermore, when the glucose monitoring system is calibrated, the offset and gain of the sensor-transmitter pair is established. If the leakage current level changes (i.e., either increases or decreases), then the offset established will likely change and a resulting gain error may result for future calibration points.
- a method and apparatus for performing leak detection in the sensor of a glucose monitoring system such as continuous or discrete glucose monitoring system.
- the sensor may include subcutaneous or transcutaneous sensor and configured to detect glucose levels of a patient, in particular, diabetic patients.
- a capacitance to a guard electrode of the sensor, and a test signal is applied to the guard electrode to determine whether a current flow can be detected over the capacitance. If the test signal results in the current flow, it is determined that the current flow is as a result of the existence of leakage current in the sensor, and the user or patient is alerted that the sensor is not functioning properly. In other words, a detection of the leakage current prompts the patient that the sensor is no longer measuring accurate glucose levels, and that replacement of the sensor is recommended.

- the processor 204 in one embodiment may be configured to transmit a leak detection test signal to the leak detection circuit 214 . More specifically, when the processor 204 transmits a leak detection test signal discussed in further detail below, if leakage resistance is present in the sensor 101 (for example, due to contamination or water presence), a leakage current will flow from the work electrode 210 to the guard electrode 211 over the resistor 501 and capacitor 503 in the leak detection circuit 214 . In turn, due to the current flow from the work electrode 210 to the guard electrode 211 , the current to voltage circuit 301 ( FIG. 3 ) in the transmitter 102 is configured to detect the current flow path, and correspondingly signal the processor 204 that leakage current exists in the sensor 101 . The output response of the current to voltage circuit 301 ( FIG. 3 ) based on the detection of leakage current described above is shown in FIGS. 6A-6B and 7 A- 7 B as described in further detail below.

- substantially no leakage current exists from the work electrode 210 to the guard electrode 211 that can be detected by the current to voltage circuit 301 in the analog front end of the transmitter 102 .
- the guard electrode 211 is normally held at the signal level of the work voltage source Vw which may be within 12 millivolts of the voltage signal level at the work electrode 210 . During normal operation, this helps reduce leakage current affecting the work electrode 210 .
- a leak detection test signal may be applied to the guard electrode 211 from the processor 204 of the transmitter 102 to detect leakage current in the sensor 101 as discussed in further detail in conjunction with FIG. 8 below.
- the leak detection test signal (normally held at 3 Volts) from the processor 204 is switched from the three (3) Volts to zero (0) Volts. If moisture or other conductive contamination is present in the sensor 101 , leakage current will flow into the capacitor 503 from the guard electrode 211 at a rate that is a function of the leakage resistance between the work electrode 210 and the guard electrode 211 . This current produces a corresponding output signal from the transimpedance operational amplifier 402 ( FIG. 4A ) which is the current to voltage function that measures the sensor 101 current or signal.
- the magnitude of the output signal from the transimpedance amplifier 402 ( FIG. 4A ) is a function of the time that the leakage test signal is held at the zero (0) Volt, and also the leakage resistance. This can be seen from the FIGS. 6A-6B and 7 A- 7 B discussed in further detail below. Thus, it is possible to detect the presence of a leakage current in the sensor 101 of the data monitoring and management system 100 , and alert the user that the measured values received from the sensor 101 may be inaccurate.
- the capacitor 503 in one embodiment may include a ceramic capacitor with a very high leakage resistance, for example, a 10 GOhms of leakage resistance.
- an interface circuit may be used such as a resistor, field effect transistor (FET), an inductor, or any other circuit element which can be configured to transfer a signal from the processor 204 to the guard electrode 211 .
- the leak detection test signal within the present invention may include a digital signal or an analog signal such as a sine wave or a pulse which may also be varied in magnitude. Each of these analog and digital signals can also be varied in frequency or driven as a single pulse leak detection test signal.
- FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate the output response of the current to voltage circuit 301 of the transmitter 102 for 100 MOhm leakage resistance between the work and guard electrodes with leak detection test signal held for 500 and 250 mseconds, respectively, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, these Figures illustrate the response to a 100 MOhm leakage resistance that exists between the guard electrode 211 and the work electrode 210 of the sensor 101 , where the response signal shown are the output of the transimpedance amplifier 402 ( FIG. 4A ) as detected by the processor 204 in the transmitter 102 .
- the difference in response between a 500 millisecond test signal and a 250 millisecond leakage test signal period can be seen.
- the length of the leak detection testing period is directly correlated with the sensitivity of the leakage detection and thus the accuracy of the leakage detection. That is, the longer the duration of the leak detection test signal, the higher the resolution of the test signal or accuracy.
- FIGS. 6A-6B it can be seen that in FIG.
- the duration of the leak detection test signal was maintained at 500 milliseconds which yielded a peak signal at greater than 300 ADC (analog to digital converter) counts corresponding to the voltage level, and which in turn, corresponding to the leakage current in the sensor 101 with the 100 Mega Ohm leakage resistance.
- the peak signal was greater than 100 ADC counts based on the same 100 Mega Ohm leakage resistance.
- FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate the output response of the current to voltage circuit 301 in the transmitter 102 of the system 100 ( FIG. 1 ) for 1,000 MOhm and 10,000 MOhm leakage resistance, respectively, between work and guard electrodes, with leak test signal held low for 500 mseconds in accordance with one embodiment. More specifically, FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate additional examples of a much lower leakage current with a substantially higher leakage resistance between the work electrode 210 and the guard electrode 211 of the sensor 101 .

The leak detection circuit may include an interface circuit, such as a capacitor, coupled to the guard trace to detect the leakage current when the leak detection test signal is applied to the guard trace, such that the user or patient using the data monitoring and management system, such as glucose monitoring systems, is notified of a failed sensor and prompted to replace the sensor.
Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/118,794 filed Apr. 29, 2005 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Providing Leak Detection in Data Monitoring and Management Systems,” the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- The present invention relates to data monitoring and management systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to method and apparatus for providing leak detection in sensors used in data monitoring systems such as glucose monitoring systems.
- Glucose monitoring systems including continuous and discrete monitoring systems generally include a small, lightweight battery powered and microprocessor controlled system which is configured to detect signals proportional to the corresponding measured glucose levels using an electrometer, and radio frequency (RF) signals to transmit the collected data. One aspect of such glucose monitoring systems include a sensor configuration which is, for example, mounted on the skin of a subject whose glucose level is to be monitored. The sensor cell may use a three-electrode (work, reference and counter electrodes) configuration driven by a controlled potential (potentiostat) analog circuit connected through a contact system.
- The current level detected by the work electrode of the sensor is relatively small such that even a small amount of leakage current from the reference or counter electrodes typically will affect the signal quality, and thus may have adverse effect upon the accuracy of the measured glucose level. This is especially true when foreign matter is present that causes a false high glucose reading, and which may lead to improper patient treatment. Furthermore, when the glucose monitoring system is calibrated, the offset and gain of the sensor-transmitter pair is established. If the leakage current level changes (i.e., either increases or decreases), then the offset established will likely change and a resulting gain error may result for future calibration points.
- In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to have an approach to detect leakage current in sensor configuration of data monitoring systems such as in glucose monitoring systems such that detective sensors resulting from leakage current may be identified that are not detecting signals accurately.
- In view of the foregoing, in accordance with the various embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method and apparatus for performing leak detection in the sensor of a glucose monitoring system such as continuous or discrete glucose monitoring system. The sensor may include subcutaneous or transcutaneous sensor and configured to detect glucose levels of a patient, in particular, diabetic patients.
- In one embodiment, there is provided a capacitance to a guard electrode of the sensor, and a test signal is applied to the guard electrode to determine whether a current flow can be detected over the capacitance. If the test signal results in the current flow, it is determined that the current flow is as a result of the existence of leakage current in the sensor, and the user or patient is alerted that the sensor is not functioning properly. In other words, a detection of the leakage current prompts the patient that the sensor is no longer measuring accurate glucose levels, and that replacement of the sensor is recommended.

FIG. 1 illustrates a data monitoring and management system such as, for example, aglucose monitoring system 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In such embodiment, theglucose monitoring system 100 includes asensor 101, atransmitter 102 coupled to thesensor 101, and areceiver 104 which is configured to communicate with thetransmitter 102 via acommunication link 103. Thereceiver 104 may be further configured to transmit data to adata processing terminal 105 for evaluating the data received by thereceiver 104. Only onesensor 101,transmitter 102,communication link 103,receiver 104, anddata processing terminal 105 are shown in the embodiment of theglucose monitoring system 100 illustrated inFIG. 1 . However, it will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that theglucose monitoring system 100 may include one ormore sensor 101,transmitter 102,communication link 103,receiver 104, anddata processing terminal 105, where eachreceiver 104 is uniquely synchronized with arespective transmitter 102. Moreover, within the scope of the present invention, theglucose monitoring system 100 may be a continuous monitoring system, or a semi-continuous or discrete monitoring system. - In one embodiment of the present invention, the
sensor 101 is physically positioned on the body of a user whose glucose level is being monitored. Thesensor 101 may be configured to continuously sample the glucose level of the user and convert the sampled glucose level into a corresponding data signal for transmission by thetransmitter 102. In one embodiment, thetransmitter 102 is mounted on thesensor 101 so that both devices are positioned on the user's body. Thetransmitter 102 performs data processing such as filtering and encoding on data signals, each of which corresponds to a sampled glucose level of the user, for transmission to thereceiver 104 via thecommunication link 103. - In one embodiment, the
glucose monitoring system 100 is configured as a one-way RF communication path from thetransmitter 102 to thereceiver 104. In such embodiment, thetransmitter 102 transmits the sampled data signals received from thesensor 101 without acknowledgement from thereceiver 104 that the transmitted sampled data signals have been received. For example, thetransmitter 102 may be configured to transmit the encoded sampled data signals at a fixed rate (e.g., at one minute intervals) after the completion of the initial power on procedure. Likewise, thereceiver 104 may be configured to detect such transmitted encoded sampled data signals at predetermined time intervals. Alternatively, theglucose monitoring system 100 may be configured with a bi-directional RF communication between thetransmitter 102 and thereceiver 104. - Additionally, in one aspect, the
receiver 104 may include two sections. The first section is an analog interface section that is configured to communicate with thetransmitter 102 via thecommunication link 103. In one embodiment, the analog interface section may include an RF receiver and an antenna for receiving and amplifying the data signals from thetransmitter 102, which are thereafter, demodulated with a local oscillator and filtered through a band-pass filter. The second section of thereceiver 104 is a data processing section which is configured to process the data signals received from thetransmitter 102 such as by performing data decoding, error detection and correction, data clock generation, and data bit recovery. - In operation, upon completing the power-on procedure, the
receiver 104 is configured to detect the presence of thetransmitter 102 within its range based on, for example, the strength of the detected data signals received from thetransmitter 102 or a predetermined transmitter identification information. Upon successful synchronization with thecorresponding transmitter 102, thereceiver 104 is configured to begin receiving from thetransmitter 102 data signals corresponding to the user's detected glucose level. More specifically, thereceiver 104 in one embodiment is configured to perform synchronized time hopping with the corresponding synchronizedtransmitter 102 via thecommunication link 103 to obtain the user's detected glucose level. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , thedata processing terminal 105 may include a personal computer, a portable computer such as a laptop or a handheld device (e.g., personal digital assistants (PDAs)), and the like, each of which may be configured for data communication with the receiver via a wired or a wireless connection. Additionally, thedata processing terminal 105 may further be connected to a data network (not shown) for storing, retrieving and updating data corresponding to the detected glucose level of the user. - Within the scope of the present invention, the
data processing terminal 105 may include an infusion device such as an insulin infusion pump, which may be configured to administer insulin to patients, and which is configured to communicate with thereceiver unit 104 for receiving, among others, the measured glucose level. Alternatively, thereceiver unit 104 may be configured to integrate an infusion device therein so that thereceiver unit 104 is configured to administer insulin therapy to patients, for example, for administering and modifying basal profiles, as well as for determining appropriate boluses for administration based on, among others, the detected glucose levels received from thetransmitter 102. -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the transmitter of the data monitoring and detection system shown inFIG. 1 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the Figure, thetransmitter 102 in one embodiment includes ananalog interface 201 configured to communicate with the sensor 101 (FIG. 1 ), a user input 202, and atemperature detection section 203, each of which is operatively coupled to atransmitter processor 204 such as a central processing unit (CPU). As can be seen fromFIG. 2 , there are provided four contacts, three of which are electrodes—work electrode (W) 210, guard contact (G) 211, reference electrode (R) 212, and counter electrode (C) 213, each operatively coupled to theanalog interface 201 of thetransmitter 102 for connection to the sensor unit 101 (FIG. 1 ). In one embodiment, each of the work electrode (W) 210, guard contact (G) 211, reference electrode (R) 212, and counter electrode (C) 213 may be made using a conductive material that is either printed or etched, for example, such as carbon which may be printed, or metal foil (e.g., gold) which may be etched. - Further shown in
FIG. 2 are a transmitterserial communication section 205 and anRF transmitter 206, each of which is also operatively coupled to thetransmitter processor 204. Moreover, apower supply 207 such as a battery is also provided in thetransmitter 102 to provide the necessary power for thetransmitter 102. Additionally, as can be seen from the Figure,clock 208 is provided to, among others, supply real time information to thetransmitter processor 204. - In one embodiment, a unidirectional input path is established from the sensor 101 (
FIG. 1 ) and/or manufacturing and testing equipment to theanalog interface 201 of thetransmitter 102, while a unidirectional output is established from the output of theRF transmitter 206 of thetransmitter 102 for transmission to thereceiver 104. In this manner, a data path is shown inFIG. 2 between the aforementioned unidirectional input and output via adedicated link 209 from theanalog interface 201 toserial communication section 205, thereafter to theprocessor 204, and then to theRF transmitter 206. As such, in one embodiment, via the data path described above, thetransmitter 102 is configured to transmit to the receiver 104 (FIG. 1 ), via the communication link 103 (FIG. 1 ), processed and encoded data signals received from the sensor 101 (FIG. 1 ). Additionally, the unidirectional communication data path between theanalog interface 201 and theRF transmitter 206 discussed above allows for the configuration of thetransmitter 102 for operation upon completion of the manufacturing process as well as for direct communication for diagnostic and testing purposes. - As discussed above, the
transmitter processor 204 is configured to transmit control signals to the various sections of thetransmitter 102 during the operation of thetransmitter 102. In one embodiment, thetransmitter processor 204 also includes a memory (not shown) for storing data such as the identification information for thetransmitter 102, as well as the data signals received from thesensor 101. The stored information may be retrieved and processed for transmission to thereceiver 104 under the control of thetransmitter processor 204. Furthermore, thepower supply 207 may include a commercially available battery. - The
transmitter 102 is also configured such that thepower supply section 207 may provide power to the transmitter for a minimum of three months of continuous operation after having been stored for 18 months in a low-power (non-operating) mode. In one embodiment, this may be achieved by thetransmitter processor 204 operating in low power modes in the non-operating state, for example, drawing no more than approximately 1 .mu.A of current. Indeed, in one embodiment, the final step during the manufacturing process of thetransmitter 102 may place thetransmitter 102 in the lower power, non-operating state (i.e., post-manufacture sleep mode). In this manner, the shelf life of thetransmitter 102 may be significantly improved. - Referring yet again to
FIG. 2 , thetemperature detection section 203 of thetransmitter 102 is configured to monitor the temperature of the skin near the sensor insertion site. The temperature reading is used to adjust the glucose readings obtained from theanalog interface 201. TheRF transmitter 206 of thetransmitter 102 may be configured for operation in the frequency band of 315 MHz to 322 MHz, for example, in the United States. Further, in one embodiment, theRF transmitter 206 is configured to modulate the carrier frequency by performing Frequency Shift Keying and Manchester encoding. In one embodiment, the data transmission rate is 19,200 symbols per second, with a minimum transmission range for communication with thereceiver 104. - Referring yet again to
FIG. 2 , also shown is aleak detection circuit 214 coupled to the guard electrode (G) 211 and theprocessor 204 in thetransmitter 102 of the data monitoring andmanagement system 100. As discussed in further detail below in conjunction withFIGS. 7-11 , theleak detection circuit 214 in accordance with the various embodiments is configured to detect leakage current in thesensor 101 to determine whether the measured sensor data are corrupt or whether the measured data from thesensor 101 is accurate. - Additional detailed description of the continuous glucose monitoring system, its various components including the functional descriptions of the transmitter are provided in U.S. Pat. No. 6,175,752 issued Jan. 16, 2001 entitled “Analyte Monitoring Device and Methods of Use”, and in U.S. Pat. No. 7,811,231 issued Oct. 12, 2010 entitled “Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and Methods of Use”, each assigned to the Assignee of the present application, and the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

FIG. 3 illustrates the front end section of the analog interface of the transmitter in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the Figure, the front end section of theanalog interface 201 includes a current tovoltage circuit 301 which is configured to operatively couple to thework electrode 210 and theguard electrode 211, and acounter-reference servo circuit 302 which is configured to operatively couple to thereference electrode 212 and thecounter electrode 213. It can be further seem from the Figure that theguard electrode 211 is also coupled to theleak detection circuit 214 of thetransmitter 102. As discussed in further detail below, under the operation and control of theprocessor 204 of the transmitter, theleak detection circuit 214 in one embodiment may be configured to detect leakage current in thesensor 101 of the data monitoring andmanagement system 100. -
FIGS. 4A-4B illustrate detailed illustrations of the current to voltage circuit and the counter-reference servo circuit, respectively, of the analog interface shown inFIG. 3 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 4A , the current to voltage circuit 301 (FIG. 3 ) in one embodiment includes anoperational amplifier 402 having anon-inverting input terminal 405, and an invertinginput terminal 404. Also shown in the Figure is aresistor 401 operatively coupled to the invertinginput terminal 404 of theoperational amplifier 402, and anoutput terminal 406. - Referring again to
FIG. 4A , thework electrode 210 is operatively coupled to the invertinginput terminal 404 of theoperational amplifier 402, while theguard electrode 211 is operatively coupled to thenon-inverting input terminal 405 of theoperational amplifier 402. It can be further seen that the work voltage source Vw is provided to thenon-inverting terminal 405 of theoperational amplifier 402. In this manner, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a separate contact, theguard electrode 211 is operatively coupled to the analog interface 201 (FIG. 2 ) of the transmitter 102 (FIG. 2 ). Theguard electrode 211 as discussed in further detail below is provided at a substantially equipotential to thework electrode 210 such that any current leakage path to the work electrode 210 (from either thereference electrode 212 or thecounter electrode 213, for example) is protected by theguard electrode 211 by maintaining theguard electrode 211 at substantially the same potential as thework electrode 210. - Referring now to
FIG. 4B , thecounter-reference servo unit 302 in accordance with one embodiment includes anoperational amplifier 407 having an invertinginput terminal 408 and anon-inverting input terminal 409, as well as anoutput terminal 410. In one embodiment, thereference electrode 212 is operatively coupled to the invertinginput terminal 408, while thecounter electrode 213 is operatively coupled to theoutput terminal 410 of theoperational amplifier 407 in thecounter-reference servo unit 302. It can also be seen fromFIG. 4B that a reference voltage source Vr is provided to thenon-inverting input terminal 409 of theoperational amplifier 407 in thecounter-reference servo unit 302. - Referring back to FIGS. 3 and 4A-4B, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the current to
voltage circuit 301 and thecounter-reference servo unit 302 are operatively coupled to the remaining sections of theanalog interface 201 of thetransmitter 102, and configured to convert the detected glucose level at the sensor unit 101 (FIG. 1 ) into an analog signal for further processing in thetransmitter unit 102. It should also be noted that, in the manner described, the Poise voltage (for example, at a value of 40 mV) may be determined based on the difference between the voltage signal level of the work voltage source Vw at thenon-inverting input terminal 405 of theoperational amplifier 402 in the current tovoltage circuit 301, and the voltage signal level of the reference voltage source Vr at thenon-inverting input terminal 409 of theoperational amplifier 407 in thecounter-reference servo unit 302. -
FIG. 5 illustrates the leak detection circuit in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the Figure,leak detection circuit 214 includes, in one embodiment, aresistor 501 coupled to theguard electrode 211. As can be seen, theresistor 501 is further operatively coupled to acapacitor 503. Thecapacitor 503 is also operatively coupled to theprocessor 204 of thetransmitter 102 in the data monitoring and management system. Referring toFIG. 5 , in normal operation, theguard electrode 211 is biased by the guard electrode bias voltage source is coupled at node orjunction 504. - In one embodiment, the guard electrode bias voltage source may be the work voltage source (Vw) shown in
FIG. 4A . As can be further seen fromFIG. 5 , there is also provided aresistor 502 operatively coupled to the node orjunction 504. In this manner, theguard electrode 211 in thesensor 101 may be configured to function during normal operations to protect thework electrode 210 from leakage current from the other electrodes in thesensor 101, and also, in addition, to receive a leak detection test signal from theprocessor 204 at predetermined time intervals. - The
processor 204 in one embodiment may be configured to transmit a leak detection test signal to theleak detection circuit 214. More specifically, when theprocessor 204 transmits a leak detection test signal discussed in further detail below, if leakage resistance is present in the sensor 101 (for example, due to contamination or water presence), a leakage current will flow from thework electrode 210 to theguard electrode 211 over theresistor 501 andcapacitor 503 in theleak detection circuit 214. In turn, due to the current flow from thework electrode 210 to theguard electrode 211, the current to voltage circuit 301 (FIG. 3 ) in thetransmitter 102 is configured to detect the current flow path, and correspondingly signal theprocessor 204 that leakage current exists in thesensor 101. The output response of the current to voltage circuit 301 (FIG. 3 ) based on the detection of leakage current described above is shown inFIGS. 6A-6B and 7A-7B as described in further detail below. - On the other hand, if the leakage resistance level is below a nominal threshold level (and thus not substantially impeding
sensor 101 function), then substantially no leakage current exists from thework electrode 210 to theguard electrode 211 that can be detected by the current tovoltage circuit 301 in the analog front end of thetransmitter 102. - For example, referring back to
FIG. 4A , in one embodiment, theguard electrode 211 is normally held at the signal level of the work voltage source Vw which may be within 12 millivolts of the voltage signal level at thework electrode 210. During normal operation, this helps reduce leakage current affecting thework electrode 210. When it is desired to test for the leakage current in thesensor 101, a leak detection test signal may be applied to theguard electrode 211 from theprocessor 204 of thetransmitter 102 to detect leakage current in thesensor 101 as discussed in further detail in conjunction withFIG. 8 below. - In operation, during the leak detection test, the leak detection test signal (normally held at 3 Volts) from the
processor 204 is switched from the three (3) Volts to zero (0) Volts. If moisture or other conductive contamination is present in thesensor 101, leakage current will flow into thecapacitor 503 from theguard electrode 211 at a rate that is a function of the leakage resistance between thework electrode 210 and theguard electrode 211. This current produces a corresponding output signal from the transimpedance operational amplifier 402 (FIG. 4A ) which is the current to voltage function that measures thesensor 101 current or signal. - Referring to
FIGS. 4A , 6A-6B and 7A-7B, the magnitude of the output signal from the transimpedance amplifier 402 (FIG. 4A ) is a function of the time that the leakage test signal is held at the zero (0) Volt, and also the leakage resistance. This can be seen from theFIGS. 6A-6B and 7A-7B discussed in further detail below. Thus, it is possible to detect the presence of a leakage current in thesensor 101 of the data monitoring andmanagement system 100, and alert the user that the measured values received from thesensor 101 may be inaccurate. - Referring back to
FIG. 5 , thecapacitor 503 in one embodiment may include a ceramic capacitor with a very high leakage resistance, for example, a 10 GOhms of leakage resistance. Furthermore, within the scope of the present invention, while thecapacitor 503 is used in theleak detection circuit 214 to transfer alternate current (A/C) signals while blocking direct current (D/C) signals, thereby creating no offset, an interface circuit may be used such as a resistor, field effect transistor (FET), an inductor, or any other circuit element which can be configured to transfer a signal from theprocessor 204 to theguard electrode 211. Moreover, the leak detection test signal within the present invention may include a digital signal or an analog signal such as a sine wave or a pulse which may also be varied in magnitude. Each of these analog and digital signals can also be varied in frequency or driven as a single pulse leak detection test signal. -
FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate the output response of the current tovoltage circuit 301 of thetransmitter 102 for 100 MOhm leakage resistance between the work and guard electrodes with leak detection test signal held for 500 and 250 mseconds, respectively, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, these Figures illustrate the response to a 100 MOhm leakage resistance that exists between theguard electrode 211 and thework electrode 210 of thesensor 101, where the response signal shown are the output of the transimpedance amplifier 402 (FIG. 4A ) as detected by theprocessor 204 in thetransmitter 102. - By comparing the responses shown in these Figures, the difference in response between a 500 millisecond test signal and a 250 millisecond leakage test signal period can be seen. In other words, the length of the leak detection testing period is directly correlated with the sensitivity of the leakage detection and thus the accuracy of the leakage detection. That is, the longer the duration of the leak detection test signal, the higher the resolution of the test signal or accuracy. In other words, referring to
FIGS. 6A-6B , it can be seen that inFIG. 6A , the duration of the leak detection test signal was maintained at 500 milliseconds which yielded a peak signal at greater than 300 ADC (analog to digital converter) counts corresponding to the voltage level, and which in turn, corresponding to the leakage current in thesensor 101 with the 100 Mega Ohm leakage resistance. On the other hand, as shown inFIG. 6B , with the duration of the leak detection test signal at 250 milliseconds, the peak signal was greater than 100 ADC counts based on the same 100 Mega Ohm leakage resistance. -
FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate the output response of the current tovoltage circuit 301 in thetransmitter 102 of the system 100 (FIG. 1 ) for 1,000 MOhm and 10,000 MOhm leakage resistance, respectively, between work and guard electrodes, with leak test signal held low for 500 mseconds in accordance with one embodiment. More specifically,FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate additional examples of a much lower leakage current with a substantially higher leakage resistance between thework electrode 210 and theguard electrode 211 of thesensor 101. In particular, it can be seen from the Figures that the leak detection test approach as disclosed in accordance with the various embodiments of the present invention is suitable to detect very high values of leakage resistance. For example, referring toFIG. 7A , with leakage resistance of 1000 MOhms and a leakage detection test signal duration of 500 milliseconds, the output response of greater than 15 ADC counts was detected, which can be detected and identified as the leakage current in thesensor 101. InFIG. 7B , an even higher leakage resistance of 10,000 Mega Ohms was used at a leakage detection test signal duration of 500 milliseconds which yielded an output response of approximately 3 ADC counts which can still be detected, so as to identify the presence of the leakage current in thesensor 101. -
FIG. 8 is a flowchart for performing the leak detection test in the sensor of the data monitoring and management system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the Figure, at step 801, an iterative variable N is set to zero (0) and the leak detection signal bit is set to Low. In one embodiment, a counter or a latch in theprocessor 204 may be configured to set the iterative variable to zero and to store that value (for example, in its internal memory), and at step 802, the leak detection signal from theprocessor 204 may be set at zero volts. Thereafter atstep 803, the signal response on theguard electrode 211 is measured. For example, in one embodiment, theprocessor 204 is configured to detect a current on theguard electrode 211 in response to the leak detection signal set at Low (0 volts) from theprocessor 204. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , atstep 804, theprocessor 204 is configured to determine whether the detected response atstep 803 exceeds a normal sensor level, which, theprocessor 204 has pre-stored. For example, the normal sensor level in one embodiment may include the sensor signal level which was measured just prior to the leak detection test routine discussed herein. In one embodiment, an additional tolerance may be added to the sensor signal level measured prior to the leak detection routine discussed herein, where the tolerance level corresponds to an acceptable leakage level. - If the response compared at
step 804 is not greater than the normal sensor level, then at step 805, it is determined that no leakage current is detected, and the procedure terminates. Referring back to the Figure, if atstep 804 it is determined that the response measured atstep 803 is not greater than the normal sensor level, then atstep 806, the iterative variable is retrieved and compared to determine whether it exceeds a leakage confirmation value. In one embodiment, the leakage confirmation value may be three. In other words, if three consecutive response measurement detects the response to be greater than the normal threshold level (step 804), then the leakage in thesensor 101 is configured and flagged for the user to replace thesensor 101. Referring back toFIG. 8 , if atstep 806 it is determined that the iterative variable N is greater than the leakage confirmation value, then atstep 807, it is confirmed that a leakage current is detected and the user may be notified that the data received from thesensor 101 may no longer be accurate. On the other hand, if atstep 806 it is determined that the iterative variable N is not greater than the leakage confirmation value, then atstep 808, the leak detection bit is set to High (e.g., 3 Volts), and the routine atstep 809 waits for the settling time period. The settling time may be based on the selected leak detection signal duration, and in one embodiment, may be in the order of 2 or 3 seconds. Thereafter atstep 810, the iterative variable N is incremented by one (1), and the routine returns to step 802. - In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the routine may also include an additional step of measuring the sensor signal level at the sensor 101 (
FIG. 1 ) after incrementing the iterativevariable N 810 and prior to returning to the leak detection routine at step 802. In this case, the normal sensor level atstep 804 to which the measured response (step 803) is compared will be the measured sensor signal level at the additional step described above. - In the manner described above, an apparatus including a leak detection circuit in one embodiment of the present invention includes a guard contact, an interface circuit coupled to the guard contact, a processor coupled to the interface circuit, the processor configured to drive a leak detection test signal via the interface circuit to the guard contact, where the processor is further configured to detect a leakage signal in response to the leak detection test signal.
- The interface circuit may in one embodiment include a capacitor, and further, the leak detection test signal may include a digital signal or an analog signal.
- Moreover, the guard contact may include in one embodiment the guard electrode of a sensor.
- Furthermore, the sensor may include a plurality of electrodes, one of the plurality of electrodes including a work electrode and a guard electrode, the guard electrode including the guard trace, where the leakage signal detected by the processor includes a sensor signal from the sensor.
