More Information
Summary:The invention relates to an implantable electrode system for measuring an analyte concentration in a human or animal body, comprising a first and a second measuring electrode (2, 3) for determining measuring signals which each contain information concerning the analyte concentration to be measured, whereby the first measuring electrode (2) has a first measuring sensitivity that is adapted to a first concentration range of the analyte, and the second measuring electrode (3) has a second measuring sensitivity that differs from the first measuring sensitivity and is adapted to a second concentration range of the analyte. The invention further relates to an apparatus and a method for measuring an analyte concentration by means of an electrode system of this type.
