cular Glucose Monitoring System
GlySure Limited,
Oxford UK, announced that it has secured the CE Mark
for the world’s first and only Continuous Intravascular Glucose Monitoring
System (CIGMS). The initial use of the GlySure™ CIGMS is to enhance blood
glucose management among adult cardiac surgery patients in the Intensive
Care Unit (ICU). The GlySure CIGMS comprises three main parts: a moni-
tor, a disposable fibre optic sensor and a disposable 5 lumen central venous
catheter (CVC), similar to that typically used in the ICU. The GlySure sen-
sor includes a highly selective proprietary chemistry that provides the first
commercially available glucose testing system that can accurately measure
intravascular glucose levels every
fifteen seconds.
