Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring an arrangement for determining a concentration of an analyte in a body fluid. The determination of the concentration of the analyte by means of the arrangement involves a procedure in which the analyte from the body fluid passes through an interface and is transported in a stream of liquid into a flowmeter chamber, in which a measurement is carried out to determine the concentration of the analyte. The evaluation of the measurement takes place in a signal processor. The monitoring of the arrangement comprises the following steps: measurement of measured values of at least two correlated system parameters of the arrangement by means of a sensor system, and comparison of the measured values with limit values stored for each of the system parameters in a storage unit, to obtain a combination of at least two comparison results.

Abstract: The invention concerns an array and a method for dosing a hormone regulating the blood glucose, especially insulin, of a diabetic patient.

Abstract: The invention concerns an array and a method for dosing a hormone regulating the blood glucose, especially insulin, of a diabetic patient (10). In order to improve the administration of the hormone, the invention provides the following characteristic combination: a) a measuring device (16) to detect measured values correlatable with blood sugar; b) a controlling means (12) comprising a controller (44) and a hormone dosing device (46) for supplying a hormone dosage; c) a pilot control device (14) acting on the hormone fine dosage controlling means (12) for performing a coarse pre-control in accordance with at least one influence variable that influences blood glucose.

Abstract: A measuring device for facilitating the electro-chemical measurement of a substance such as a gas comprises a holder ring which has an opening therethrough with an inwardly extending annular resilient sealing lip extending into the opening and an end face with an inner annular projecting portion defining a fitting strip and an outer annular projecting portion spaced radially outwardly from the inner annular portion. A membrane is engaged over the opening and the inner annular projecting portion and its periphery rests in a space between the inner and outer projecting portions. A tightening ring is engaged with the hole of the ring and it includes an end face with an annular groove which is positionable over the inner annular projection of the holder ring. The tightening ring includes an inner annular counter ring part engageable over the membrane and against the sealing lip of the holder ring.

Abstract: Measuring probe for a polarographic determination of gas partial pressures in aqueous, and more particularly in biologic, medium, comprises at least a part made up of a plurality of thin films including a polarographic surface having a diffusion film membrane which applies directly on at least the polarographing surface, and wherein at least the film material contiguous to the polarographing surface comprises a thin film of an inorganic insulating material.
