Patent ID: 8275438

Claim:
A system configured to measure at least one analyte in a biological sample of a host, the system comprising: a fluid coupler comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to releasably mate with a connecting end of a catheter, and wherein the second end is configured to releasably mate with a tubing assembly; and at least one analyte sensor, wherein at least a portion of the at least one analyte sensor is located within the fluid coupler, wherein the at least one analyte sensor is configured to be exposed to a biological sample when the fluid coupler is in fluid communication with a circulatory system of the host via the catheter and the biological sample is drawn back to the at least one analyte sensor by a flow control device; wherein the system is configured to program a flow profile of the flow control device in response to receipt of an identification information associated with the fluid coupler and/or the catheter.
