COVER FOR AN IMPLANTABLE SENSOR FOR SUBCUTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF AN ANALYTE

摘要

The present invention relates to sensors for determining the concentration of compounds, and to preventing contamination of the sensor, when the sensor is placed in areas where bacterium growth is an issue. Further it relates to sensors implantable in a living creature, for determination of compounds such as glucose. Covering the sensing means with a cover, which moves between a sensing position and a resting position, prevents the contamination of the sensor.
