Noninvasive Self-diagnostic Device for Tear Collection and Glucose Measurement.
Scientific Reports 2019 March 19
We propose a noninvasive, self-diagnostic device that enables safe tear collection and glucose measurement. The device described herein was manufactured by tight assembly of a lid for tear collection in conjunction with a strip-type glucose sensor. The lid was designed to be in contact with the inferior palpebral conjunctiva for tear collection and was thus designed to possess a proper contact area and rounded boundaries to avoid eye tissue damage. For the strip-type glucose sensor, we employed a commercially available electrochemical sensor (Accu-Chek test strips), which was modified to reduce the volume of the reaction chamber (0.4 μl) for a small amount of collected tear fluid. When tested with in vivo animal models, the device was able to collect tear fluid in a relatively short time (<2 s) without causing eye tissue damage, and the device allowed the collected tear fluid to be delivered to the sensor for measurement of tear glucose concentrations. The blood glucose concentrations estimated with the tear glucose concentrations obtained with the device exhibited a high correlation with those actually measured with a clinically available glucometer (R2 = 0.9617).
