Sensor for peracetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution

A single-use sensing device for a clinical chemistry analyzer system includes a carrier which supports a capillary passage. Species selective sensors are located within a test chamber portion of the capillary passage. A rotatable multichamber reservoir having a calibrant chamber for holding calibrant fluid and a sample chamber for containing a sample fluid is rotated first to a calibrant test position and then to a sample test position. In the calibrant test position, the calibrant chamber is connected to the inlet end of the capillary passage to draw calibrant fluid into the test chamber. In the sample test position, the sample chamber is connected to the inlet end to draw sample fluid into the test chamber and purge the calibrant fluid from the test chamber. A set of sensor readings are taken at each position, and concentration values are derived from the two sets of readings.

Clinical chemistry analyzer

Lead connector for use between an external pulse generator and a pacing lead. The lead connector includes elongated geometrical spaced connector pins which plug into connector terminals of the pulse generator and a hole accepting the connector end of the pacing lead. A case of the lead connector supports a pressure plate which is spring biased against a thumbscrew and engages a connector of the pacing lead against the connector pins of the lead connector.
