Zusammenfassung:An interoperative blood loss quantification device that including a housing, a peristaltic pump positioned within the housing, a stepper motor positioned within the housing and driving the peristaltic pump, a cuvette positioned within the housing and configured to receive fluid moved by the peristaltic pump, a spectrophotometer positioned within the housing and configured to provide an absorbance signal indicative of properties of the fluid flowing through the cuvette, and one or more processing circuits that control operation of the stepper motor, determine a volume of fluid moved through the peristaltic pump, determine a blood concentration based on the absorbance signal received from the spectrophotometer, and determine a total volume of blood moved by the peristaltic pump based on the volume of fluid and the blood concentration
