Abstract
Disclosed is a system for real-time detection and annunciation of blood associated with menstruation and surgical wounds. The system comprises blood detection means, communication means for relay of blood detection information, and annunciation means to inform the user of the emanation of blood. Various system embodiments include local and remote as well as covert and non-covert annunciation to users or medical personnel, various forms of real-time blood detection sensors, blood analysis capability, and smart bandage telemetry.
Claims16
A system for blood detection comprising:
- a) a real-time blood detection sensor;
- b) first radio frequency communication means electronically connected to the real-time blood detection sensor;
- c) second radio frequency communication means;
- and
- d) annunciation means,
- the blood detection sensor providing a signal to the first radio frequency communication means upon detection of blood, the first radio frequency communication means communicating with the second radio frequency communication mean so as to convey blood detection information, and the annunciator annunciating blood detection upon receipt of signal from the second radio frequency communication means.
A system for detection and annunciation of the status or instances of blood flow from the body. The system comprising:
- a) a real-time blood detection sensor;
- b) radio frequency transponder means electronically connected to the real-time blood detection sensor;
- c) radio frequency interrogation means;
- and
- d) annunciation means,
- the radio frequency interrogation means periodically querying the radio frequency transponder means and receiving a blood detection signal from the transponder upon such query and at such time as the blood detection sensor detects blood.
A real-time menstrual blood detection system comprising:
- a) a real-time menstrual blood detection sensor;
- b) radio frequency transponder means electronically connected to the real-time menstrual blood detection sensor;
- c) radio frequency interrogation means;
- and
- d) annunciation means,
- the radio frequency interrogation means periodically querying the radio frequency transponder means and receiving a menstrual blood detection signal from the transponder upon such query and at such time as the menstrual blood detection sensor detects menstrual blood.
