Diagnostic aid for performing the Akabane test

摘要

A diagnostic aid for performing the Akabane test comprises a test rod (1). In order to form a measuring tip (8), an electrical conductor (9) is guided out of this rod, deflected and then guided back into the measuring rod (1). A diode (10) used to heat the measuring tip (8) is connected in the immediate vicinity of the measuring tip (8) in the conductor (9). A resistance measurement current is conveyed beforehand via the same conductor (9) used to stimulate the skin surface thermally, in order to determine the skin resistance. <IMAGE>
