BLOOD-MEASURING SYSTEM

The invention provides a system for measuring an Activated Clotting Time (ACT) value from a sample of blood. The system features a syringe component that encloses the sample of blood. Disposed within the syringe component are set of electrodes (composed, e.g., of metal pads or rings) that contact th...

Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides a system for measuring an Activated Clotting Time (ACT) value from a sample of blood. The system features a syringe component that encloses the sample of blood. Disposed within the syringe component are set of electrodes (composed, e.g., of metal pads or rings) that contact the sample of blood. An electronics module connected to the syringe component features an electrical impedance system that electrically connects to the set of electrodes and measures an impedance value indicating an electrical impedance of the sample of blood. A processing system receives the impedance value from the electronics module and: i) process it with a first algorithm to determine a viscosity value of the sample of blood; and ii) process the viscosity value with a second algorithm to determine the ACT value.
