Quasi-Dynamic Testing of an Optical Sensor for Measurements of the Blood Chamber Volume in the POLVAD Prosthesis
TLDR
Further developments of an optical system to be used in temporary blood volume measurements in the Polish ventricular assist device using a volume approximation using a PCA algorithm supported by a LRS function are presented.Abstract:
The article presents further developments of an optical system to be used in temporary blood volume measurements in the Polish ventricular assist device. The research focuses on quasi-dynamic measurements ( ow rate of 5 ml/s). Characteristics of signals from selected con gurations of optical transmitters and receivers are shown. A volume approximation using a PCA algorithm supported by a LRS function is introduced. Plans of further development are stated.read more
