The invention consists of a sensor with multiple indicating (sensing)
electrodes covered with a selectively permeable membrane for monitoring
fluid concentrations in a biological environment. The indicating
electrodes respond to changes in certain analytes, such as glucose,
through an enzyme-mediated reaction. The currents generated from the
enzyme-mediated reactions are transmitted through radio signals to an
external receiver where the information is processed and recorded.
Through the use of various biomaterials and biochemicals associated with
the sensor, the monitoring accuracy is improved and the overall viability
is prolonged. The process of foreign body fibrosis (formation of a scar
capsule around the implanted sensor) eventually limits the functional
life of the device. We teach methods of delivery of certain biochemicals
that can increase the functional life of the sensor by inhibiting the
formation of the foreign body capsule or by stimulating the growth of
capillaries into the capsule.
