Abstract
This in vivo sensor assembly, consisting of a sensing electrode and an insertion catheter, is capable of calibration and recalibration in situ without blood sampling because the sensing electrode can be retracted into its insertion catheter where it can be contacted with calibrating solution furnished by a drip line in which the reference electrode also contacts the calibrating solution.
