Abstract
In a method and a device for electrochemical determination of the concentration of at least one dissolved chemical entity in a liquid medium, a measurement voltage U is impressed on a working electrode, in contact with the liquid medium, relative to a counter electrode, thereby causing the dissolved chemical entity to react by oxidation or reduction at the working electrode, producing a measurement evoked current. The measurement evoked current is compared to a predetermined value, and the measurement voltage U is adjusted so that the measurement evoked current is substantially equal to the predetermined value, and thus remains substantially constant during measurements. A difference .DELTA.U=U-U.sub.min is formed, which corresponds to an oxidation/reduction reaction at the working electrode, with U.sub.min being a minimum voltage selected as a reference level. This difference is used to calculate concentration variations of the chemical entity in the liquid. A therapy administering apparatus, such as a medical implant such as a pacemaker or the like, can be controlled dependent on the calculated concentration variations.
