Device for measuring sugar concentration
First Claim
1. Apparatus for measuring sugar concentration of human blood, comprising a cell (22) combining an electrode (25) composed of platinized platinum as the glucose electrode with at least one carbon catalyst electrode (23, 24) permeable to glucose, as the oxygen electrode, and a current sensing means coupled to said cell (22), the cell (22) itself is constructed so as to supply current to the current sensing means coupled to said cell (22) for providing an accurate measure of said sugar concentration.
