Abstract
An improved apparatus is disclosed for maintaining a medical assembly, e.g., a blood chemistry electrode assembly, filled with a bubble-free storage liquid for an extended storage time period. The apparatus achieves this result by connecting to the assembly a pressurized reservoir that supplies additional storage liquid, to replenish any storage liquid lost due to diffusion from the medical assembly.
