Minimally invasive
By accessing through an indwelling arterial catheter without disrupting that catheter's current use, the GlucoSet sensor requires no new catheters and displaces no other equipment.
Reliable
The arterial access makes the GlucoSet sensor less susceptible to coagulation and sensitivity to intravenous nutrition. Unlike competing solutions, the sensor also tolerates patient movement very well.
Easy to adopt
The product can be set up by nurses without advance planning, available in minutes after the decision has been made to monitor glucose.
“An indwelling vascular sensor, particularly one as accurate as [the GlucoSet prototype], should be viewed as a significant advancement.”
The GlucoSet continuous blood glucose monitoring is currently in development, and has been tested in patients. Read more about the technology here.
