4.2.3 Chip Sensor

The chip sensors are the core of the measuring system. They convert the sample
concentration into an analyzable, electrical signal.
Only type II chip sensors from EKF-diagnostic GmbH may be used. EKF-diagnostic
GmbH offers chips sensors for glucose and lactate determination as well as
dummy sensors (see section 10.1).
The device has at least one or optionally two measuring channels. With two
measuring channels, glucose and lactate can be measured from one sample at the
same time. The device recognizes the chip sensors (glucose, lactate, dummy
sensors) automatically. No manual settings are required.
It does not matter which sensor is placed in which measuring channel. The same
parameter can be measured on both channels. It is recommended to equip
measuring channel 1 with glucose and measuring channel 2 with lactate. If a device
with two measuring channels is operated with only one sensor, there needs to be a
dummy sensor (accessory) in measuring channel 2. In this case it is recommended
to place the active sensor in measuring channel 1 (higher measuring speed).
Plug the power cable in the device and the power socket.
Danger of electric shock
An isolated ground receptacle is mandatory for operating the device.
Check whether the mains voltage and frequency printed on the type
label match your mains socket.
The display will read "Please insert sensor!".
