Abstract
A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate. The system includes a hydrophobic barrier capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate through the barrier to a gas. The system also includes a detector capable of detecting the gas and an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow transport of the gas between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector following a concentration gradient of the gas along the interface.
Claims17
A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate, comprising:
- a hydrophobic barrier capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate through the barrier to a gas;
- a detector capable of detecting the gas;
- and
- an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow transport of the gas between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector following a concentration gradient of the gas along the interface.
A sensing system for detecting a substance in a dialysate, comprising:
- a hydrophobic barrier in contact with the dialysate and capable of allowing the substance in the dialysate to equilibrate through the barrier to a gas;
- a detector capable of detecting the gas;
- an interface disposed between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector and configured to allow fluid communication of the gas between the hydrophobic barrier and the detector;
- and
- a deformable diaphragm in contact with the dialysate and configured to produce a back and forth gas movement within the interface in response to fluid pressure variations in the dialysate.
