Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and an apparatus for measuring glucose level in the body fluid of a subject, typically blood glucose level by measuring impedance of a body , tissue with two pairs of electrodes, two electrodes for injecting current into a body tissue and two electrodes for detecting the ensuing voltage of the body tissue. The body tissue is typically a sub-dermal or sub-cutaneous tissue. The measured impedance of the body tissue is used to correlate with directly determined glucose elvels to determine the glucose level from the measured impedance. It is thus possible to determine body fluid glucose levels in a reliable and reproducible manner.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 4, 2005 and granted April 12, 2016. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 4, 2025.
- Certificates of supplementary protection extend only drug patents, and it isn't classified as one.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
