Definitions
- This invention relates to insertion sets for use with medical devices and, in particular embodiments, to insertion sets that use micro-piercing members for use with infusion pumps, test apparatuses, drug delivery systems and/or sensors.
- medications have been delivered by injection with a single, fine gauge needle or through an intravenous infusion set with a catheter.
- the administration of an injection with a needle or an intravenous infusion through a catheter is often accompanied by a small amount of pain or discomfort as the needle or catheter is inserted and withdrawn from the injection or infusion site. This often acts as a deterrent to compliance with a medical regimen as patients seek to avoid the pain or discomfort.
- finer needles or catheters have been used. However, the finer needles and catheters still irritate the skin and associated nerve endings, causing some discomfort and pain, and deterring patient compliance.
- drug delivery systems have been developed that deliver the medication by infusion into subcutaneous tissue using an infusion set with a soft cannula.
- the soft cannula of the infusion set is still inserted into the skin with a needle to prevent kinking of the soft cannula.
- This while less traumatic than some other injections, still causes some, although small, discomfort and irritation from the insertion and removal of the needle.
- One attempt to greatly reduce discomfort and pain has involved the use of automatic insertion devices. But there is still the possibility of some minor irritation since the needle and soft cannula can contact nerves in the subcutaneous tissue.
- silicon micro- needles have been proposed that would pierce the skin to a very minor depth at a distance that does not contact nerve cells and avoids any introduction of pain.
- this experimental technique is promising there has been no practical application proposed to deliver the medication through these solid micro-needles.
- One example of typical silicon micro-needles is shown in Fig. 1, and described in "Break Throughs - Technology - Microneedles", Discover magazine, October 1998 (pages 22 and 23), and "Microfabricated Microneedles: A Novel Approach to Transdermal Drug Delivery", Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 87, Number 8, August 1998 (Pages 922-925), which are attached hereto as part of this specification and incorporated by reference.
- bodily characteristics are determined by obtaining a sample of bodily fluid. For example, diabetics often test for blood glucose levels. Traditional blood glucose determinations have utilized a painful finger prick using a lancet to withdraw a small blood sample. This results in discomfort from the lancet as it contacts nerves in the subcutaneous tissue. The pain of lancing and the cumulative discomfort from multiple needle pricks is a strong reason why patients fail to comply with a medical testing regimen. Although non-invasive systems have been proposed, or are in development, none to date have been commercialized, which are effective and provide accurate results.

In addition, the insertion sets may be coated with medications, or other agents, that inhibit infection and/or promote healing of the insertion site. Preferred embodiments of the insertion sets are for transcutaneous placement of the insertion set in subcutaneous tissue just below the stratum corneum, but above the level where nerves are present.
- the insertion set may be inserted to deeper depths in the subcutaneous tissue or into other subdermal tissues where the use of micro- piercing members is advantageous.
- still further embodiments may be used to place the insertion sets in other types of tissue, such as muscle, lymph, organ tissue or the like, and used in animal tissue.
- the embodiments may also be used in other applications to sample other fluid flows, such as manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, chemical synthesis, or the like.
- Further embodiments of the invention are for infusion fluids other than medications, such as vitamins, hormones, drugs, proteins, peptides, suspensions, emulsions, gels, saline or the like.
- the insertion sets include at least one micro- piercing member attached to a substrate to pierce the tissue during insertion.
- the micro-piercing member is a micro-metal needle.
- the micro-needle may be hollow, solid, grooved, or the like.
- the micro-piercing member may be made out of other materials, such as ceramic, plastic, etched metals, crystals embedded on a surface, fibers (such as glass or carbon), ceramics, glass, composites, silicon, biodegradable, hydrophilic substances, substances that soften and/or change once in contact with the body and/or bodily fluids, or the like.
- the insertion sets may include more than one micro-piercing member.

- Preferred embodiments of the micro- piercing member have a length on the order of 100 ⁇ m. However, longer lengths such as 200 ⁇ m or shorter lengths such as 50 ⁇ m may be used. Other lengths may also be used, with the selection being dependent on the type of tissue to be penetrated, the depth of nerve tissue, condition of the patient, type of medication, the type of body characteristic to be determined, number of micro-piercing members, the size of the insertion set, or the like. The above features may be combined in various configurations to achieve a set with desired characteristics.

- Advantages to the use of micro-piercing members and a substrate structure include a larger surface area for infusion, fluid collection and/or sensing a characteristic, painless insertion, and extremely low profile. The above features may be combined in various configurations to achieve a set with desired characteristics.
- the substrate structure forming the patch is sized between 1/8" to 1/16" square.
- the substrate structure forming the patch is sized smaller or can be considerably larger (upwards of several inches square) with the selection of size being dependent on the type of medication to be infused, the characteristic to be determined, the patient condition, the amount of time the insertion set is to remain in position, and/or the like.
- an insertion set 140 or 142 includes a rigid or flexible substrate 144 that holds at least one sensor 146 to determine a characteristic and at least one infuser 148 to infuse a liquid.
- the insertion set 140 and 142 are worn most effective on large surface areas, such as the abdomen, back or the like. If the substrate 144 is flexible, the insertion set could be worn around a wrist, arm, leg or the like. In particular embodiments, the sensor 146 and the infuser are separated by several inches if medication is being infused. However, if a calibration fluid is being infused to calibrate the sensor 146, the infuser 148 may be adjacent, combined with, or relatively close to the sensor 146. In another embodiment, as shown in Fig. 21, a plurality of micro-needle patches 147, that are generally rigid, are placed on a larger contoured and/or flexible patch 149 to provide large surface areas for detection and/or infusion of fluids.
- the insertion set is maintained in position at the insertion site on the tissue with an adhesive overdressing.
- an adhesive patch (or under-dressing) is placed on the tissue prior to insertion of the insertion set, or is used in addition to an overdressing.
- the insertion set has wings (or a flange) surrounding the periphery of the insertion set, which have an adhesive that attaches the insertion set to the tissue. This can be augmented by an overdressing and/or an under- dressing.
- the substrate surface between the micro- piercing members may have an adhesive that attaches the insertion set to the tissue.
- the insertion set may also be attached by sutures, staples, clamps, glue, or the like.
- the micro-piercing members are coated with an anti-microbial substance that tends to inhibit infection occurring around the perforation made in the skin.
- a healing agent such as Vitamin E, anti- inflammatory agents, such as Dexamethasone, or the like, that promotes healing and/or minimizes scaring after removal of the insertion set with the microneedles.
- micro-piercing members or needles
- substrates silicon are used to form the micro-piercing members (or needles) and substrates.
- the micro-piercing members and substrate structure can be formed in silicon through the use of silicon wafer technology such as photolithography, chemical etching, vapor deposition, DREI, laser drilling, and/or the like.
- metals, ceramics, plastics, or the like are used to form the micro-piercing members and substrate structure.
- Such materials include, but are not limited to, specially engineered polymer materials designed for deep photo etching using MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) processing techniques, or the like.
- Methods which can be used for creating the structure in ceramics, metal, or plastic include molding, thermoforming, laser drilling, chemical etching and/or the like.
- Plastics that can be used for the micro-piercing members and substrate structure include, but are not limited to, PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), polycarbonates or the like.
- PEEK and LCP are particularly strong when formed with thin cross-sections and lend themselves to conventional molding techniques.
- Plastics may be molded (depending on their flow characteristics) or more viscous plastics could require a combination of molding and laser drilling/chemical etching or thermoforming with laser drilling/chemical etching.
- LCP is a unique plastic that has both amorphous and crystalline segments that form the plastic.
- the micro-piercing members and substrate could be formed in such a way that the crystalline segments line up in a particular direction.
- the amorphous segment may be removed using chemical etching leaving the segments (rods, needles or micro-piercing members) of crystalline material exposed. This could also be done in glass filled plastics.
- the micro- piercing members and the substrate are formed from the same material, either as an integral unit or separately and later connected. However, in alternative embodiments, the micro-piercing members and the substrate may be formed from different materials.
- the substrate and micro-piercing members are coated with a material that helps maintain the structural integrity of the insertion set and minimizes breakage, fracture and/or loss of micro-piercing members once the insertion set is inserted or during withdrawal of the insertion set.
- the insertion set and micro-piercing members could be coated with a thin layer (i.e., a few microns) of parylene, plastic or the like.
- the micro-piercing members and substrate structure are generally optically opaque to light and electromagnetic radiation.
- the micro-piercing members and substrate structure may have transmissions in ranges or bands for particular purposes, or may be optically transparent to light and electromagnetic radiation that enable the insertion sets to be used as described in more detail below.
- the insertion set 150 may include "rods" or light pipes 152 that are included in the substrate 154 to direct light to the piercing members 156.
- the light pipes 152 are formed as separate elements out of SiO 2 , A1 2 0 3 , glass, plastic, or the like, and are connected to the substrate 154 by the use of anodic bonding.
- the piercing members 156 are formed as the light pipes 152.
- the insertion set may be formed from a single piece of SiO 2 , A1 2 0 3 , glass, plastic, or the like, and are etched to form the substrate and micro-piercing members.
- the micro-piercing members are solid, and access to the insertion site openings, formed by penetration of the micro-piercing members, is through holes drilled in the supporting substrate of the micro-piercing members. Fluids can be drawn out of these holes by capillary action or active suction. Fluids can also be introduced to the insertion site by pumping or capillary action that is biased to flow medication through the holes and through the insertion openings formed by penetration of the micro-piercing members.
- the micro-piercing members are hollow and permit fluid to be withdrawn or provided to the openings formed by the micro-piercing members at the insertion site through the interior of the micro-piercing members.
- the holes may be formed in a part of the micro-piercing members (i.e., on one side of the member - rather than through the exact center) and a part of the substrate. This would simplify manufacturing and avoid very thin tips that might break off when a hole is formed through the exact center of the micro-piercing member.
- the use of holes may be avoided by the use of porous materials such as porous sintered titanium, porous polyethylene or other such materials. This would permit medications or other fluids to permeate through the substrate to the tissue or from the tissue to the back of the insertion set. It could also simplify manufacturing issues associated with forming holes in either the micro-piercing members and/or the substrate. As illustrated in Fig.
- an insertion set 10 is formed by a plurality of solid micro-piercing members 12 (or needles) attached to a substrate 14.
- the micro-piercing members 12 are formed integral with the substrate 14 or formed separately and attached to the substrate 14.
- the substrate 14 is formed with holes 16, or the holes 16 are drilled, adjacent the micro- piercing members 12.
- the back of the substrate 14 is covered by a fluid delivery chamber 18, which is in turn coupled to an infusion supply tube 20. Medication is then pumped to the medication chamber 18 and dispersed out the holes 16 in the substrate 14 to permeate into the openings formed in the tissue by the penetration of the micro-piercing members 12 in the tissue.
- the insertion set 10 may be utilized with a sensor and characteristic monitor, in which fluid is drawn off and supplied to the sensor.
- Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate an insertion set 30 in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention that includes an array of micro-piercing members 32 (or needles) formed on a substrate 34.
- the micro-piercing members 32 are formed with holes 36 passing through the micro-piercing members and the substrate.
- silicon could be used as the materials, and the micro- piercing members 32 and substrate 34 structure are perforated.
- a fluid flow connector 38 is attached to the back 40 of the substrate 34 structure.
- the fluid flow connector 38 is attached to infusion tubing 42 which is attachable to a pump (not shown) to provide fluid communication with the holes 36.
- the holes 36 do not need to precisely exit the tip 44 (or ends) of the micro-piercing members 32.
- the insertion set 30 may be utilized with a sensor and characteristic monitor, in which fluid is drawn off and supplied to the sensor.
- Fig. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment that uses the insertion set 30 shown in Figs. 3 and 4 without the infusion tubing 42 and/or fluid flow connector 40 or the insertion set 10 shown in Fig. 2.
- the insertion set 30 containing the micro-piercing members 32 and the substrate 34 structure is encapsulated in an encapsulation material 50 and secured to the tissue by an adhesive 50.
- the encapsulation material 50 may be coupled to infusion tubing 42 and an infusion pump (not shown).
- the encapsulation material 50 can form a pressurized reservoir 54 that contains medication, or other fluid, that is slowly infused into the tissue through the openings in the substrate structure.
- the medication, or other fluid is loaded into the reservoir 54 after insertion of the insertion set to minimize issues of leakage during assembly, storage and transport.
- the encapsulation material 50 may be a component of an infusion pump that pumps the medication, or other fluid, into the user, such as a wrist watch device, or the like mounted over the encapsulation material 50.
- the encapsulation material 50 may form a negative pressure reservoir to draw off fluid from the tissue.
- a suction device (not shown) may be attached to the encapsulation material 50 , where for example, a user uses a valve structure to vent air and then apply suction to the interior of the encapsulation material 50 forming the reservoir 54 to draw off the fluid.
- the drawn off fluid could be used to determine bodily characteristics with a built in sensor or drawn off fluid could be supplied to a remote sensor.
- the negative pressure is created in the reservoir 54 after insertion of the insertion set to minimize issues of leakage during assembly, storage and transport.
- the encapsulation material 50 may contain hydrophilic or wicking material (instead of or in addition to the negative pressure) to draw off fluid from the tissue.
- the encapsulation material 50 may be divided into sub-regions, in which one region provides fluid to the tissue and the other region withdraws fluid from the tissue.
- the encapsulation material 50 may be used with ionphoretic medication devices or the like. For example, these types of devices would work more efficiently, since the outer layer of the tissue is already penetrated and fluid flow is easier to facilitate.
- an insertion set 60 in accordance with third embodiment of the present invention utilizes hollow carbon or glass fibers that form the micro-piercing members 62 (or needles).
- the micro-piercing members 62 are imbedded in another matrix material to form the substrate 64 to create the insertion set 60.
- LCP plastic (described above) is a good candidate for forming an insertion set 60 having this structure.
- ceramics or sintered metals are also suitable for forming the insertion set 60.
- Figs. 7a and 7b illustrate an insertion set 70 in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
- the insertion set 70 includes micro- piercing members 72 (or needles) that have an outer surface 74 coated with a photo-reactive substance or compound 76 that optically changes, fluoresces, or the like, or other suitable compounds that detect changing properties in the presence of a bodily fluid analyte, such as glucose or the like.
- the compounds can also be used to detect the level of an analyte that has been ingested, injected or placed inside the body, such as marker substances, or the like.
- possible compounds, including but not limited to, produce a fluorescent change in the presence of a bodily fluid analyte are disclosed in U.S.
- the micro-piercing members 72 are coated with the fluorescent material 76 and a substrate 78 is drilled with holes 79 that permit the passage of light L to illuminate the sides of the micro-piercing members 72 to induce a fluorescent reaction in the coated material 76 in the presence of the analyte.
- the strength (or intensity) of the florescence from the coated material is used to determine the amount of analyte present in the bodily fluid (such as interstitial fluid, blood or the like). In alternative embodiments, lifetime measurements of the fluorescence may be used.
- the use of exterior coated micro-piercing members 72 is preferred for near continuous monitoring applications, since it is easier for bodily fluids to flow around and be replenished around the outside of the micro-piercing members 72.
- a second fluorescent compound (not shown) is used as a reference signal and may be placed at one or more locations around the substrate 78. Still further embodiments, may be utilized with an infusion set to determine the level of medication, or fluid being absorbed to determine proper flow rates.
- preferred embodiments utilize fluorescent compounds to determine a bodily characteristic.
- alternative embodiments may use other electro-chemical reactions, such as, for example, in diabetes testing, the compounds could be those currently used in conventional blood glucose meters or glucose sensors that use interstitial fluid with glucose oxidase sensors such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,391,250 issued February 21, 1995 to Cheney, II et al. and entitled "Method of Fabricating Thin Film Sensors", which is herein incorporated by reference.
- Other compounds for the detection of viral loads such as in HIV, hepatitis or the like
- cholesterol levels or other analytes
- optical analyte materials that measure a change in optical properties of the materials that are sensitive to IR, visible or other forms of radiation may be used.
- Fig. 8 illustrates an insertion set 80 in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
- the insertion set 80 contains a plurality of coated micro-piercing members 82 (or needles) on a substrate 84 similar to that shown in Figs. 7a and 7b.
- the holes 86 in the substrate 84 are more conical to allow better illumination of the sides of the coated micro- piercing members 82.
- a preferred method for forming conical holes 86 is the use of back side etching of the substrate 84, which would be easier than laser drilling. This allows the light L to more directly impinge on the fluorescent compound 88 (or other suitable detection compound), and minimizes reliance on reflection off the tissue.
- the holes may be cylindrical, like in the earlier embodiments, but formed at an angle to illuminate one side of the micro- piercing members 82. This simplifies manufacturing of the substrate 84, since more conventional manufacturing methods, such as laser drilling may be used.
- the substrate 84 and/or micro-piercing members 82 are formed from optically transparent materials that permit the light to pass through the substrate 84 and the micro-piercing members 82 to illuminate the fluorescent compound (or other suitable detection compound). This would be advantageous, since it would obviate the need to drill light transmitting holes.
- an insertion set 160 is formed without holes in the substrate and/or through the micro-piercing members 164.
- Fig. 9 illustrates an insertion set 90 in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present invention, in which the micro-piercing members 92 (or needles) are formed with the holes 94 passing through the micro-piercing members 92 and a substrate 96.
- the interior surface 98 of the hollow micro-piercing members 92 is coated with a fluorescent compound 100 (or other suitable detection compound).
- This embodiment permits easier exposure of the fluorescent compound 100 to light L and minimizes the effects of insufficient illumination or distortion through the substrate 96.
- This embodiment tends to be more ideally suited for discrete measurements, since it would require ancillary structure to make the fluid flow from the tissue continuously over long periods of time.
- This embodiment (as well as the embodiments as shown in Figs. 7a-8), could also be used with a fluid delivery system and used to detect back flow of bodily fluids (such as interstitial fluids, blood, or the like), which would indicate a blockage in the infusion supply tubing, or a compound could be used to determine the presence of bacteria and infection developing under the insertion set 90.
- the coating compound could also be used to detect other contaminates in the fluid flow stream from the infusion supply.
- Fig. 10 illustrates an insertion set 110 in accordance with a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
- This embodiment utilizes micro-piercing members 1 12 and a substrate 114 similar to that shown in Fig. 2 (although this embodiment could easily utilize the hollow micro-piercing member structure shown in Fig. 3).
- the micro-piercing members 1 12 penetrate the tissue, and then the holes 116 in the substrate 114 draw off the interstitial fluid (or other liquid or fluid) by capillary action to a layer of material 1 18 that contains a fluorescent compound, or the like (as discussed above) that responds to the presence of an analyte in the interstitial fluid (or other liquid or fluid).
- the layer of material 118 may use capillary action to distribute the interstitial fluid (or other liquid or fluid) throughout the layer of material 118.
- the interstitial fluid or other liquid of fluid
- the interstitial fluid is pulled from the site by capillary action and wets the fluorescent compound which is then analyzed by a sensor to determine the concentration of the analyte.
- Figs. 11 and 12A illustrate a self-lancing test strip 120 in accordance with an eighth embodiment of the present invention.
- the self-lancing test strip 120 uses solid (or hollow) micro-piercing members 122 (or needles) and holes 123 on a substrate 124 coupled via an adhesive or wicking material 126 to an analyte strip 128 that contains a compound that reacts to the presence of an analyte in bodily fluid (such as interstitial fluid, blood or the like) withdrawn from the fluid.
- the wicking material or adhesive layer 126 may be omitted and the substrate 124 would be directly coupled to the analyte strip 128.
- a fluorescent compound and detection method is used as described above.
- the self-lancing test strip harvests interstitial fluid painlessly from the skin for an intermittent reading of the analyte level conventional finger sticks used to determine glucose levels, cholesterol levels or the like.
- the user taps the self-lancing test strip 120 with the micro-piercing members 122 against the skin to pierce the upper layer and then the interstitial fluid is released from the skin and pulled by capillary action through the holes 123 in the substrate 124.
- a flexible dome 300 and vent hole 302 are positioned over the skin penetrating portion of the self-lancing test strip 120 to create a negative pressure on the side opposite the micro-piercing members 122 to assist in drawing fluids through the holes 123 in the substrate 124, as shown in Fig. 12B.
- the self-lancing test strip remains on the skin for a period of time sufficient to withdraw the interstitial fluid, with the time being determined based upon the condition of the user's skin, the temperature, the environmental conditions surrounding the tissue, the type of fluid being withdrawn, the number of micro-piercing membersl22, the number of holes 123, the size of the substrate 124, or the like.
- the interstitial fluid is drawn into the wicking and/or adhesive layer 126 to evenly wet the compound in the analyte strip 128 above it.
- the self- lancing test strip 120 is then inserted into a meter (not shown) for analyzing the interstitial fluid using conventional tests, or the fluorescent tests described above.
- the self-lancing test strip 120 can be left in place on the skin (or tissue), and a test meter can be used to periodically measure the analyte, without the need to remove the self-lancing test strip from the skin.
- the analyte layer 128 is placed down on any optical device to minimize scratching or abrasion of the optical device by the micro-piercing members 122.
- the micro-piercing members are hollow and draw the interstitial fluid to the regent through the interior of the micro-piercing members.
- the micro-piercing members and substrate are formed out of a porous materials to facilitate transfer of the bodily fluid. This may obviate the need for holes in the substrate and/or micro- piercing members.
- Figs. 16 and 17 illustrate a variation of the embodiments shown in Figs. 10-12, in which an insertion set 170 contains a layer of micro channels 172 between the substrate 174 and the analyte material 176.
- the micro-channels are "v" shaped and formed from etching of the material forming the layer of micro-channels.
- the holes 178 in the substrate 174 line up with the intersections 180 of the channels 182 in a first direction and the channels 184 in a second direction.
- the channels may be at right angles, oblique, acute, or the like to each other.
- the channels are etched to a few microns depth to promote capillary action to draw the fluid to a collection reservoir 186 that concentrates the collected fluid to provide stronger readings.
- the micro-channels may be formed on the opposite side of the substrate to improve the diffusion of the collected fluid in the analyte material.
- the micro-channels may be formed on both sides of the substrate.
- Figs. 18(a) and 18(b) illustrate a self-lancing test strip 190 similar to the embodiment shown in Figs. 11, 12A and 12B.
- the embodiment includes a fold- over encapsulating tip 192 to cover the micro-piercing members 194 after use of the test strip 190.
- the fold- over encapsulating tip includes an adhesive 196 and is folded over to cover the exposed micro-piercing members 194 after the test.
- the fold-over tip may be stiff enough to be bent away from the micro-piercing members 194 when the test strip 190 is used to avoid premature or accidental contact with the micro-piercing members 194. Then after use, the stiff fold-over tip springs back to cover the micro-piercing members 194.
- the interior surface of the fold-over tip that contacts the micro- piercing members 194 includes a reflective agent to improve the optical characteristics of the test strip 190, if a reading is taken from the opposite side.
- Fig. 19 is a cross-sectional view of another insertion set 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the holes 202 (or channels) in the substrate 204 and/or micro-piercing members 206 are filled with a hydrophilic material 208 that draws out the fluid from beneath the skin.
- the hydrophilic material 208 facilitates getting the fluid more quickly and easily to an analyte detection compound 210.
- the hydrophilic material 208 tends to minimize the ability of the analyte detection compound to contact or migrate into the tissues of the user.
- Fig. 20 is a cross-sectional diagram showing the use of an optically transparent substrate 212 and micro-piercing members 214 to permit light L to be introduced directly under the skin 215 to illuminate an implanted optical analyte material 216 to more easily determine the optical changes of the optical analyte material 216.
- the advantage is that the optical transparent substrate 212 and micro-piercing members 214 provide a shorter light path distance through the skin 215, which lowers the amount of total diffusion and absorption of light in the skin (or tissue).
