20090277242 | Sensor Calibration - A sensor kit comprising a sensor for detecting an analyte, a sensor housing and a calibration chamber. The calibration chamber comprises a first compartment containing a first calibration solution and a second compartment containing a source of the analyte to be detected. A dividing material is located between the first and second compartments enabling them to be mixed on breakage or removal of the dividing material. Further compartment(s) containing further source(s) of the analyte may optionally be provided. Calibration can carried out by (a) taking a reading of the analyte concentration of the first calibration solution, (b) mixing the contents of the first and second compartments by breaking or removing the dividing material, and (c) taking a reading of the analyte concentration of the resulting mixture. Steps (b) and (c) can be repeated for further compartment(s) to provide further reading(s) if desired. | 11-12-2009 |
20100305413 | SENSING APPARATUS - A process for preparing a tube for insertion into the human or animal body, said process comprising: (a) providing a hollow tube comprising a first material and a second material, the first material being in the form of a coil or a tubular mesh, and the second material coating the first material in order to form a continuous substantially impermeable outer wall of the hollow tube; (b) selectively removing a portion of said second material in order to generate at least one opening in a region of the outer wall, while retaining the first material in said region. | 12-02-2010 |

20130266478 | Calibrator For A Sensor - A calibrator, for calibrating a sensor, has a calibration chamber for containing a calibration liquid. The liquid comprises water or an aqueous solution of an analyte to be sensed. A hydrogen peroxide-quenching material is provided exposed to the interior of the calibration chamber. The hydrogen peroxide-quenching material contacts the calibration liquid. After the calibration chamber containing the calibration liquid is sterilized by irradiation with gamma radiation, the hydrogen peroxide-quenching material decomposes any hydrogen peroxide formed in the calibration liquid to avoid adverse effects on a sensor placed in contact with the calibration liquid. | 10-10-2013 |
20130344619 | GLUCOSE SENSOR - A method of quantifying the amount of glucose in a sample is provided herein that may further comprise an interferent such as mannitol. At least two measurements are obtained using measurement methods that differ in their sensitivity to the amount of interferent in the sample, thus enabling the results to be compared to determine whether any interferent is present in the sample. A glucose sensor for carrying out a method described herein is also provided | 12-26-2013 |
