BLOP4 is a totally integrated device for monitoring of blood's Hematocrit (corpuscolar percentage of the whole blood volume) and blood'oxygen Saturation (percentage of oxyhemoglobin fraction over total hemoglobin).
BLOP4 can detect the Hematocrit and blood Saturation noninvasively by an optical method using a disposable plastic cuvette. It performs the detection by means a ratiometric measurement at multi-wavelengths. Optical information is digitalized at 12 bit resolution through an internal microprocessor and transmitted to a host PC via serial interface. A PC software program under Windows® XP/Vista operating system displays, stores and processes the acquired data using a powerful database.
BLOP4 can be easily connected and interfaced to every equipment having a RS-232 or optionally a USB serial interface. For this purpose please contact us for the data transfer protocol.
BLOP4 can be used in every treatment requiring an extra-corporeal blood circulation, mainly for all therapies dealing with vital functions (ECLS Extra-Corporeal Life Support).
