1. A continuous on-line blood monitoring system for measuring ionic concentrations comprising:
- at least one ion concentration sensor device;
a first feed line for receiving analyte connected to said sensor device;
an analyte pinch/cylinder valve actuator operatively connected to said analyte feed line;
a second feed line for receiving a solution to generate an ionic baseline connected to said sensor device;
an ionic baseline pinch/cylinder valve actuator operatively connected to said second feed line;
pumping means for activating and deactivating said analyte pinch/cylinder valve actuator and said ionic baseline pinch/cylinder valve actuator, said pumping means operatively connected to said analyte pinch/cylinder valve actuator and said baseline pinch/cylinder valve actuator;
means for alternating the operation of said analyte pinch/cylinder valve actuator and said baseline pinch/cylinder valve actuator operatively connected to said pumping means; and
means for amplifying and sending signals generated by the ionic concentration of said analyte operatively connected to said sensor device.

Abstract
A continuous on-line blood monitoring system for determining the ionic concentrations of certain ions within blood is disclosed. By use of a synchronized valving mechanism within the device, as well as locating the amplification electronics away from the sensor elements, a relatively small, but highly efficient analyzing system is provided.
