    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Device Technology
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Artificial kidney machines (dialysis) require membrane integrity to prevent blood-dialysate mixing.
    • Blood leaks in dialysis circuits necessitate rapid detection to minimize patient blood loss.
    • Existing detection methods may lack optimal sensitivity or specificity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a highly sensitive blood leak detector for artificial kidney machines.
    • To minimize false alarms in dialysis blood leak detection systems.
    • To optimize detection sensitivity by matching spectral properties of hemoglobin.

    Main Methods:

    • Designing a detector that exploits the spectral properties of hemoglobin.
    • Developing specialized instrumentation and electronic circuitry for the detector.
