ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus for deplating the electrodes of cutaneous oxygen sensors. A controllable voltage source selectably establishes either a polarizing voltage or a deplating voltage between the electrodes of a cutaneous oxygen sensor, while a current sensing circuit measures the current flow therebetween. If, during the calibration of the sensor, the current flow exceeds a predetermined threshold, the apparatus initiates an operator assisted sequence of operations which deplate the electrodes and restore the gas sensor to a usable operating condition. During the performance of this sequence of operations, the apparatus carries out all steps, except those which must be performed manually by an operator.
