Abstract
The proposed invention provides a method of monitoring the dry cleaning progress of a transcutaneous sensor having an electrode for measuring pCO2 and an electrode for measuring pO2, both electrodes opening into a measuring surface of the sensor. The method comprises receiving an AC signal from the pCO2 electrode, initiating a cleaning of the sensor, and monitoring the cleaning progress by analyzing AC signals subsequently received from the pCO2 electrode.
