Method for flushing and calibrating a sensor in a body fluid analysis system
First Claim
1. A method for flushing and calibrating a sensor in a body fluid analysis system, the system having a first container in fluid communication with the sensor and holding a first flushing liquid, and a second container in fluid communication with the sensor and holding a second flushing liquid, the first and second flushing liquids having respectively different analytic contents, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) conducting a succession of body fluid analyses using said sensor;
(b) preceding each body fluid analysis by no more than one calibration measurement using one of said first and second flushing liquids; and
(c) alternatively using said first and second flushing liquids for said calibration measurement according to a predetermined pattern determined by at least one predetermined criterion.

Abstract
In a method for flushing and calibrating at least one sensor in a system for body fluid analysis, said system having a first container, connected to the sensor, holding a first flushing liquid, and a second container, connected to the sensor, holding a second flushing liquid, the flushing liquids having different analytic contents, a calibration measurement is performed with one of the flushing liquids before every body fluid analysis determination, with the different flushing liquids being used alternatively according to a predetermined pattern. The pattern is governed by certain criteria or a combination thereof.
