FIXATION RING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AN ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR HEAD

摘要

A method of assembling a sensor head and permeable membrane with encapsulated electrolyte. A disposable fixation ring is part of a similarly disposable fixation ring assembly, the latter of which serves as a fixture for automatically mounting the membrane on the sensor head body with the electrolyte encapsulated. The ring is then employed to fasten the head to a patient's skin while the remainder of the assembly is discarded, the ring also being disposable after use on a patient.
