Abstract
The invention relates to a system for continuous monitoring of analytes in a biological fluid, the system having increased life by virtue of inherent regeneration of sensors employed. An embodiment of the invention includes a biosensor, a sampling device for providing a sample of the biological fluid, device(s) for passing a flow of a background fluid through the flow passage at selectable flow rates, device(s) for injecting the sample into the flow of background fluid, and device(s) for increasing the flow rate of the combined flow. An embodiment of the invention provides device(s) for achieving a washing action at the signal generating portion.
