Systems and Methods to Mitigate the Effects of Skin Moisture on a Percutaneous Infrared Signal

摘要

A system and method include a sensor overlying a target area of epidermis to aid in diagnosing subcutaneous fluid leakage. The system includes an antiperspirant and an adhesive coupling the sensor and epidermis. The antiperspirant mitigates moisture content variation of the target area, which the inventors discovered is a source of unreliable indications that an infiltration or extravasation event has occurred.
