BVA-100 Blood volume analyzer

Knowing a patient’s blood volume and its constituents is critical information for treating burns, trauma and hemorrhage—and timing can be crucial.  To address this a New York City company, Daxor, has introduced its Blood Volume Analyzer-100 machine, described as this: “The BVA-100 was specifically designed to automatically quantify the patient’s blood volume by taking a concentration of undiluted HSA-I tracer prior to injection into the patient and comparing it to the tracer concentration diluted in the patient’s blood sample. From there a detailed report is generated that measures total blood volume, plasma volume, and red blood cell volume in milliliters, and the results are available in less than 60 minutes.”        MORE
