Apparatus and method for characterizing blood and red blood cells by erythrocyte membrane vulnerability quantification

摘要

By quantifying the quality degradation erythrocytes stored individually (RBC) units, assignment of each of these, the present disclosure, which can yield information to patient compliance, and improving the decision on the use, I will explain the related apparatus and method. How to use this device and shows relative survival rate of the units in any particular, the validity, ie the expected and, in accordance with clinical implementation. When to which, and the decision of whether to use the transfusion of a particular patient unit number, which results in the actual data of RBC quality clinician. Furthermore, by developing this test through the supply chain, the distribution plan, and can improve the determination of inventory management. Results of the mass, by accumulating a mathematical analysis of that data and other relevant, an important aspect of this test system, it is possible to optimize the algorithm. Thereby, it is possible to characterize the test results after each meaningfully as possible. At the same time and on the application of quality control of blood, major technology in the "quantification of RBC vulnerability through the calculation and analysis of optical and subsequent hemolysis induced by stress", the present invention provides a wide range of applications, such as diagnosis of disease is possible. Apparatus for quantifying the quality degradation (RBC) storage of units each comprise a calculation unit hemolytic unit, and optical analysis unit. Similarly, hemolysis step, the optical analysis stage, and related methods for quantifying the quality degradation (RBC) storage of the unit herein includes a calculation step.
