METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING SENSOR FUNCTION BY THE APPLICATION OF VOLTAGE

摘要

A method is provided for initializing an analyte sensor, such as a glucose sensor. Where a sensor has been disconnected and reconnected, a disconnection time is determined and a sensor initialization protocol is selected based upon the disconnection time. The sensor initialization protocol may include applying a first series of voltage pulses to the sensor. A method for detecting hydration of a sensor is also provided.
