U.S. Pat. No. 4,919,596, assigned to IVAC Holdings describes a fluid supply monitoring and control apparatus to be used in a medication infusion system. What can also be wanted is a affected person fluid infusion delivery system and blood monitoring machine wherein the blood measurement unit is situated close to the infusion pump, BloodVitals home monitor for ease of use in a essential care or surgical surroundings. Each single use sensor is superior sequentially and positioned for direct contact with a blood sample by way of an advancement means, wherein the development means contains a blood optical sensor for sensing the arrival and departure of undiluted blood inside the sensor cassette. Subsequently, the management unit routinely resumes regular operation of infusion of the exterior infusion fluid supply system. Further still, the mixed measurement improves the accuracy of predicting complete blood glucose stage from measured plasma glucose level. FIGS. Three a - 3 d illustrate a sensor tape, as utilized in FIGS.
FIGS. 4 a - 4 d illustrate a sensor BloodVitals home monitor tape, as used in FIGS. FIG. 6 a is an illustration of a sensor cassette as used within the automated blood evaluation machine of the present invention. FIG. 6 c is an remoted and expanded illustration of the drum construction of a sensor cassette as used in the automated blood analysis device of the current invention. FIG. 6 d is an isolated illustration of the take a look at strip handling mechanism of the sensor cassette as used in the automated blood analysis gadget of the present invention. FIGS. 6 e and 6 f are expanded illustrations of the blood pattern supply operation as used within the as used within the automated blood analysis machine of the present invention. FIGS. 6 g and 6 h are illustrations of the tubing cleansing operation as used in the automated blood analysis gadget of the present invention.
FIGS. 10 a and 10 b illustrate various strategies for controlling the stream of fluids in connection to the automated blood analysis gadget of the present invention, as proven in FIGS. FIG. 12 illustrates a table of blood bolus volumes in cubic centimeters based on the tube diameter in mm and its size in cm. FIG. 14 illustrates an automatic blood evaluation system, equivalent to that proven in FIGS. FIG. 15 illustrates a machine similar to that described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 18 depicts another optional embodiment of the automated blood evaluation system, wherein a saline bag is added to the system for self-flushing. "clean" and BloodVitals home monitor undiluted blood pattern. If related in parallel to an infusion fluid delivery system, the system mechanically resumes normal infusion operation until the following blood chemistry studying is desired. Optionally, the system disposes of all the blood sample and simply resumes regular infusion operation.
Either single lumen or a number of lumen tubing constructions are hooked up to the catheter attached to the vascular entry level. CL ⁇ , Mg, Ca)
