Ulträäniviskoosimetri
Ulträäniviskoosimetri is a medical device used to measure the viscosity of blood or other bodily fluids. It operates on the principle of ultrasound, which is a form of mechanical wave that travels through a medium, such as blood, and reflects off of internal structures. The device emits ultrasound waves into the sample, and measures the time it takes for the waves to travel through the sample and return to the device. The viscosity of the sample can be determined by the time it takes for the ultrasound waves to travel through the sample. The device is commonly used in clinical settings to monitor patients with conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or those undergoing chemotherapy. It is a non-invasive and painless test, making it a preferred method for viscosity measurement in clinical practice. Ulträäniviskoosimetri devices are typically small, portable, and easy to use, allowing for quick and convenient testing. They are regulated by medical device regulations and require proper calibration and maintenance to ensure accurate results. The device is not typically used for diagnostic purposes, but rather for monitoring and managing patients with specific conditions. The results of the test are interpreted by healthcare professionals, who use the information to make informed decisions about patient care.
