摘要： A method and apparatus for the direct noninvasive prediction of hematocrit in mammalian blood using photoplethysmography techniques and data processing. The method and apparatus also include optional prediction of other analytes of interest: percent oxygen saturation of mammalian blood and methemoglobin of stored blood. The method and apparatus can be used for the immediate, periodic, or continuous noninvasive diagnosis or monitoring of hematocrit levels in mammalian patients without pain to the patient or exposure of the health care practitioner to the blood of the patient.

摘要： A cohesive nonsticky electrically conductive gel is disclosed, for facilitating low resistance contact between a metal electrode and a biological body. The gel comprises an aqueous solution of up to saturated concentrations of ionized salts as the conducting agent, a natural gum capable of crosslinking, and a crosslinking material which provides the electrically conductive gel with sufficient internal strength to remain cohesive without reinforcement. The gel has good electrical characteristics and improved physical properties which prevent the gel from leaving a messy residue on the skin of the patient or on the electrode.

摘要： A universally functional biomedical electrode is disclosed, where the electrode has a resistive element that reduces edge effect by a redistribution of current within the electrode and in mammalian tissue contacting the electrode. In one embodiment, the electrode has at its perimeter in one layer the resistive element that provides a cross-sectional area to reduce edge effect regardless of the type of biomedical instrumentation connected thereto. With the construction of other layers suitable for multifunctional electrode usage, this electrode can serve as a single item in inventory at health facilities.

摘要： A non-polarizable electrode is disclosed comprising a metallic sensing element in contact with an electrolyte gel or other conformable, electrically conductive skin-interfacing material containing dissolved electrolyte salt and an oxidizing agent. The oxidizing agent reduces the metal on the surface of the sensing element to a metal cation which reacts with the anion of the electrolyte salt to produce an insoluble compound which is deposited on the sensing element to render it non-polarizable. The preferred embodiment of the invention relates to silver/silver chloride electrodes.
