Abstract

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for sterilizing an implantable analyte sensor, the method comprising: 
 exposing the implantable analyte sensor to variable frequency microwaves or ethylene oxide gas, whereby the implantable analyte sensor is sterilized.    
     
     
         2 . A method for sterilizing an implantable analyte sensor, the method comprising: 
 exposing the implantable analyte sensor to variable frequency microwaves, whereby the implantable analyte sensor is sterilized.    
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished prior to final assembly of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished after final assembly of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished prior to packaging of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished after packaging of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of implantable analyte sensors is exposed to variable frequency microwaves.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of packaged implantable analyte sensors is exposed to variable frequency microwaves.  
     
     
         9 . A method for sterilizing an implantable analyte sensor, the method comprising: 
 exposing an implantable analyte sensor to ethylene oxide gas, whereby the implantable analyte sensor is sterilized.    
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished prior to final assembly of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished after final assembly of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished prior to packaging of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the exposing step is accomplished after packaging of the implantable analyte sensor.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a plurality of implantable analyte sensors is exposed to ethylene oxide gas.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a plurality of packaged implantable analyte sensors is exposed to ethylene oxide gas.
