ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The disclosure relates to an electrophysiological analysis system which includes a plurality of electrodes, a power supply for successively applying a substantially continuous voltage ranging approximately from 1 to 5 volts and lasting from 0.1 to 5 seconds to different slotted electrode pairs, a collecting and storing device for recording the variation of a current flow in the electrode pairs to which the voltage slots are applied, a device enabling the current variations obtained by comparison between at least two current variations caused by supposed identical conditions and a device comparing data related to the current variations recorded for several electrode pairs and enabled with reference data. The system can be used for chronoamperometrically detecting pathologies, pathological areas and organ dysfunctions.

主权项

1. An electrophysiological examination device for detection of a pathology, the device comprising:
(a) a plurality of electrodes configured to be in direct skin-to-electrode contact with distant parts of a human body, and each of the electrodes having a skin contact area of at least 1 square centimeter; (b) a power supply operable to be electrically coupled to pairs of the electrodes to apply DC voltage, the applied DC voltage being configured to induce production of chloride ions which affects current flowing in the electrode pairs when the electrophysiological examination system is in use; (c) a display screen; and (d) a processor configured to compare at least two current changes with reference data and produce an output indicative of the pathology on the display screen connected to the processor.
