Abstract

A disposable gas sensor, such as for monitoring pO.sub.2 in blood or administered gases, includes a housing, a passageway therein for blood or gas, a membrane-anode-cathode polarographic assembly, and a temperature sensing element. The temperature sensing element penetrates the housing and includes a removable thermistor, which is matable with the housing for thermal contact with a metallic element, and which in turn is in direct contact with the fluid being monitored.
