A portable transcutaneous blood glucose monitoring system usingnon-invasive collection of suction effusion fluid from skin

摘要

The authors developed a new portable transcutaneous blood glucosemonitoring system using non-invasive collection of suction effusionfluid (SEF) from human skin. A ion sensitive field effect transistor(ISFET) sensor was employed to measure glucose concentration in a verysmall quantity of the SEF. The system is self-contained for portableusage during up to 6 hrs monitoring. This system may be the first bloodglucose monitoring equipment which does not use blood sampling
