#$%^&*AU2012200332B220140710.pdf#####C:WRPonbrDCC\MASW9569 LDOC-I/IK/2012 ABSTRACT An apparatus (10) for analyzing the composition of bodily fluid. The apparatus comprises a fluid handling network including a patient end (11) configured to maintain 5 fluid communication with a bodily fluid in a patient and at least one pump (203) intermittently operable to draw a sample of bodily fluid from the patient. The apparatus further comprises a fluid analyzer (140) positioned to analyze at least a portion of the sample and measure the presence of two or more analytes. Also disclosed is a method for analyzing the composition of a bodily fluid in a patient. The method comprises drawing a 10 sample of the bodily fluid of the patient through a fluid handling network configured to maintain fluid communication with a bodily fluid in a patient. The method further comprises analyzing the at least a portion of the sample in a fluid analyzer to estimate the concentration of two or more analytes in the sample. Disclosed are further means for separating plasma and serum and a spectroscopic analyzer. 151/63 -0
