Device and methods for detecting cerebrospinal fluid leakage

摘要

A device for rapid detection of cerebrospinal fluid in a sample fluid, the device uses a sample pad with sensors for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in the sample fluid and an analyzer operatively connected to the sample pad, for quantitative analysis of one or more analytes. A display unit operably connected to the analyzer, for displaying an output of the analysis may also be a part of the device, wherein the display unit may be able to indicate presence or absence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage using an indicator.
