DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE AND OTHER RELATED PARAMETERS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01N15/05 G01N33/49 G01N21/35 

FIELD: medical analysis.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical technology, namely to the field of medical analysis, for determining the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation, as well as other related parameters. The claimed device contains: a sampling element (11) for taking a blood sample to be analyzed in test tubes (22); a tube (12) with the possibility of entering a blood sample into it, transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the region from 100 to 2000 nm; a circuit (13) connecting the specified sampling element (11) with the specified tube (12), inside which a blood sample circulates; a pump (14) connected to the specified circuit (13) and interacting with the means of creating an air bubble between two consecutive blood samples; a drain tube (15) for draining the blood sample after analysis; a measuring device containing a radiating device (16) connected to the corresponding detector device (17) and together with it forming a measurement zone; the control and processing unit (20), made with the ability to control the operation of the specified device, and the interface unit (18), by which the specified devices (16 and 17) are connected to the specified control and processing unit (20), and the specified pump (14) is made with the possibility of taking, in each measurement cycle, the amount of blood in the range from 30 µl to 180 µl, and the specified measuring device is made with the possibility of measuring an amount equal to approximately 1 final µl from the specified amount of the initial sample, in this case, the device also contains means (23) of bringing the test tubes (22) into rotation or swing before sampling to perform programmed mixing cycles of the blood contained in the test tubes (22), and the specified sampling element contains means (11, 11a) of taking a blood sample from the test tubes (22), while both means are oriented so that the plug can be turned both up and down.

EFFECT: provided are new possibilities in determining erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
