Abstract
Hand-held pocket-sized self-contained perfusion detection devices are provided. Devices of the invention are configured to rapidly provide a perfusion detection result without the need for pre-calibration. Also provided are methods of using the perfusion detection devices, as well as kits that include the devices and/or components thereof for use in practicing such methods.
Claims34
A hand-held perfusion detection device, said device comprising:
- a power source;
- a light source;
- a detector;
- and
- a processor configured to provide a perfusion detection result in 1 minute or less following illumination of a target tissue site with light from the light emitting diode without pre-calibration;
- wherein the power source, light emitting diode, detector and processor are present in a self-contained pocket-sized housing.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- administering a fluorescent agent to the subject;
- and
- obtaining a perfusion detection result for target tissue from a hand-held perfusion detection device comprising:
- a power source;
- a light emitting diode;
- a detector;
- and
- a processor configured to provide a perfusion detection result in 1 minute or less following illumination of a target tissue site with light from the light emitting diode without pre-calibration;
