NON-INVASIVE SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING ANALYTE IN BODY FLUID

Title:

NON-INVASIVE SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING ANALYTE IN BODY FLUID

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2003235832

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To determine the concentration of an analyte in at least one body fluid in body tissue.

The system is composed of an infrared light source, a body tissue interface, a detector, and a central processing unit. The body tissue interface is adapted to contact body tissue and to deliver light from the infrared light source to the contacted body tissue. The detector is adapted to receive spectral information corresponding to infrared light transmitted through the portion of the body tissue being analyzed and to convert the received spectral information into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is compared with an algorithm by the central processing unit. The algorithm is prepared on the basis of correlation with the analyte in the body fluid and the received spectral information is converted into the concentration of the analyte.
