  • SYRINGE PUMP CONTROLLER
    Publication number: 20220331517
    Abstract: Syringe pump controllers which memorialize the process of hydrodynamic isotonic saline delivery (HIFD) to reverse acute kidney injury are disclosed. In some embodiments, the syringe pump controllers are constructed to control syringe pump(s) to deliver a defined volume of saline at a prescribed perfusion rate while monitoring renal vein pressures during the infusion. In some embodiments, the syringe pump controllers have safety features designed to shut off the infusion if the renal vein pressure goes above set safety limits.

  • Dielectric electrolyte measurement device
    Patent number: 10724986
    Abstract: A system, device and apparatus for measuring electrolytes, where an electrical charge is applied to a measurement portion to draw ions from a liquid to a gel-solution via at least one electric field. The gel-solution containing the extracted ions is excited with light of a predetermined wavelength from an emitter. A receiver detects the illumination of the ions as a result of the excited gel-solution, and a processor converts the detected intensities of the illumination to a biologically useful value representing ionic concentration.
