A system for confirmation of fluid delivery to a patient at the clinical point of use is provided. The system includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device has a housing; at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing; a data transmission interface; a data reporting accessory for providing data to the user; a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory; and a program for acquiring and processing images from the at least one imaging sensor. The system further includes a fluid delivery apparatus; and one or more identification tags attached to or integrally formed with the fluid delivery apparatus. The program processes an image captured by the at least one imaging sensor to identify the one or more identification tags and acquires fluid delivery apparatus information from the one or more identification tags.

Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

A portable device for monitoring vascular access status is disclosed. The portable device comprises a measurement device and a monitoring module. The measurement device senses vibration data induced by blood flow over certain part of a vascular access of a subject via a vibration-sensing module, and sends the sensed data to outside via its communication module. The monitor module controls an electronic device to receive the sensed data and determines a vibration evaluation index corresponding to a status of the part of the vascular access. The portable device for monitoring vascular access status of the present disclosed example has advantages of small size, easy to carry, low cost, and so on, so as to be applicable to home vascular access status monitor.

An automated fluid sample collector includes: a collection receptacle; an actuator; and a piercing element coupled to the actuator. An automated sample collection device includes: a sample receptacle; a needle that is able to extend into the sample receptacle; an actuator coupled to the needle such that the actuator is able to extend and retract the needle; and a fluid chip coupled to the sample receptacle, the fluid chip able to accommodate an amount of collected fluid. An automated method of collecting a fluid sample includes: activating a pump associated with a finger retention element in order to add fluid to the finger retention element; extending an actuator associated with a piercing element; opening a pinch valve; activating a collection pump; deactivating the collection pump; closing the pinch valve; and releasing fluid from the finger retention element.
