DEVICE FOR DETERMINING BLOOD CHOLESTEROL CONTENTS Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has light source 1, light flux former 2, acoustic-to-optic turnable filter 3, power amplifier 4, high frequency generator 5, microprocessor 6, personal computer 7, photodetector 8, preamplifier 9, scaling amplifier 10, analog-to-digital converter 11, unit 12 for forming and processing control signals. Acoustic-to-optic filtration of light flux is applied. Each reading value is compared to the prestored pass band values of acoustic part of the device, spectral response characteristic of photodetector and light emitter. Absorption coefficient in discrete points of registered spectrum is recorded. Spectral band form data and cholesterol concentrations are shown on display or other recording unit. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of examination. 2 dwg
