Abstract:
1. A method of calibrating a sensor system comprising a plurality of disposable sensors and a computer device, both the sensors and the computer device having circuitry for facilitating the transmission of data between them via a wireless communication link, the method comprising: (a) using a first disposable sensor to monitor a parameter including sending data from the first disposable sensor to said computer device; (b) storing a final value of a monitored parameter obtained using said first disposable sensor, or some other value derivable from said final value, in a memory of the computer device, and disposing of said first disposable sensor; (c) installing a new disposable sensor including calibrating the sensor system for said new disposable sensor using said final value or said other value and repeating steps a) and b) for the new disposable sensor; and d) repeating step c) for each further new disposable sensor.
