ABSTRACT:
A monitor for analyzing a body fluid for diffusable chemical substances has a liquid filled probe, for example a catheter, having a region contactable with the body fluid within the body and permeable to chemical substances of interest. A sensor unit is in liquid communication with the probe and has sensors, each with an output dependent on the presence of a chemical substance of interest. A periodic analysis of the probe liquid is provided from the sensor unit and a pumping system is adapted to circulate the probe liquid around a closed liquid flow path, including the permeable region of the probe, a number of times in each period between the analysis of the liquid.
