FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: according to one version, a system for analyte monitoring comprises a flexible applicator carried on skin of a living body, a subcutaneous analyte sensor, a power supply, a controller integrated with the flexible applicator. The controller receives power from the power source and is configured to control the analyte sensor, and the flexible applicator accommodates many predefined sensor locations each of which is configured to receive one or more subcutaneous analyte sensors. The latter are movable from the appropriate predetermined location after the sensor life has expired, without the removal of the flexible applicator from skin of a living body. In a version when the system is designed to deliver fluid, it also comprises a fluid reservoir, an infusion device, a fluid pump attached to the flexible applicator. The infusion device is configured for insertion into skin, and the water pump is connected by fluid passages with the reservoir and the infusion device. The pump is configured for high discharge of the pre-set amount of fluid from the reservoir into the body through the infusion device. The controller is configured to control the fluid pump. According to the version, the system is designed as for body analyte monitoring, and for fluid delivery, the controller is configured to control the analyte sensor and the fluid pump.
EFFECT: use of the group of inventions provides minimising such systems, improving their reliability and reducing a risk of infection.
