1. A device for measuring a level of a clinically relevant analyte in a fluid, including:
a flow path for conducting said fluid through the device;
a predetermined amount of said analyte arranged on said flow path such that the analyte mixes with fluid that passes it to form a calibration sample of the fluid;
detector means arranged on said flow path for detecting respective analyte levels in an unadulterated sample of the fluid and in the calibration sample.
