The present invention generally relates to devices and techniques associated with diagnostics, therapies, and other applications, including skin-associated applications, for example, devices for delivering and/or withdrawing fluid from subjects, e.g., through the skin. In some embodiments, the device includes a system for accessing an extractable medium from and/or through the skin of the subject at an access site, and a pressure regulator supported by a support structure, able to create a pressure differential across the skin at at least a portion of the access site. The device may also include, in some cases, a sensor supported by the support structure for determining at least one condition of the extractable medium from the subject, and optionally a signal generator supported by the support structure for generating a signal relating to the condition of the medium determined by the sensor.
本发明一般涉及与诊断、治疗和其他应用相关的设备和技术,包括与皮肤相关的应用,例如,用于从受试者(例如,通过皮肤)输送和/或抽取流体的设备。在一些实施例中,该设备包括一个用于从进入部位的受试者皮肤中和/或通过皮肤进入可提取介质的系统,以及一个由支撑结构支撑的压力调节器,该压力调节器能够在进入部位的至少一部分形成跨皮肤的压力差。在某些情况下,该设备还可包括一个由支撑结构支撑的传感器,用于确定可从受试者身上提取的介质的至少一种状况,以及一个由支撑结构支撑的信号发生器,用于产生与传感器确定的介质状况有关的信号。
