17. An implantable device for continuous measurement of glucose concentration, the device comprising:
-
an electrode configured to generate a signal indicative of a concentration of glucose in a host; and a membrane located over the electrode, the membrane comprising; a first domain that comprises an enzyme configured to react with glucose and produce hydrogen peroxide; a second domain configured to reduce passage therethrough of an interferent, the second domain comprising a plurality of alternating polyelectrolyte layers, wherein the plurality of alternating polyelectrolyte layers comprise at least one of a polycationic layer and a polyanionic layer, whereby the device is configured to exhibit a selectivity for acetaminophen over hydrogen peroxide of less than about 0.5, wherein the selectivity is determined by dividing a sensitivity of the device for acetaminophen by a sensitivity of the device for hydrogen peroxide, wherein the acetaminophen sensitivity is determined in vitro by measuring the device'"'"'s current response versus concentrations of acetaminophen at 10 μ
M aqueous acetaminophen, 50 μ
M aqueous acetaminophen, and 100 μ
M aqueous acetaminophen, and then performing linear regression, and wherein the hydrogen peroxide sensitivity is determined in vitro by measuring the device'"'"'s current response versus concentrations of hydrogen peroxide at 1 μ
M aqueous hydrogen peroxide, 2 μ
M aqueous hydrogen peroxide, and 3 μ
M aqueous hydrogen peroxide, and then performing linear regression. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
