The Glucose-Controlled Insulin Infusion System (Biostator) is a modular, computerized, feedback control system for dynamic control of blood glucose concentrations in diabetics. This on-line glucose analyzer for use with whole blood utilizes a novel enzyme (glucose oxidase)-membrane configuration and an electrochemical cell to measure the H202 generated. The analyzer exhibits both short- and long-range stability, and instrument response and analyte concentration are linearly related over the full range of clinical interest. The response is fast, accurate, and precise, and permits determination of blood glucose within 2 min from the moment the blood leaves the patient. Correlation studies were completed to show the agreement between the Biostator Glucose Analyzer and the FDA's recommended hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase procedure on whole blood (e.g., average per cent recovered for 11 concentrations between 250 and 900 mg/liter was: hexokinase, 95.6%, Biostator Analyzer, 95.9%; bias and SDd, respectively, at low, normal, and high glucose values were: 12 and 41 mg/liter at the 500 mg/liter level; 4 and 52 mg/liter at the 1000 mg/liter level, and 4 and 128 mg/liter at the 4000 mg/liter level). No appreciable interference is observed with above-normal concentrations of bilirubin, uric acid, creatinine, sodium salicylate, or dextran. Platelet adhesion, which tends to decrease the useful life of the membrane, has been significantly decreased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
