Medical Device for Noninvasive Screening Diagnostics ANESA®/AMP/DAD-ANI® Model 19 is intended for the measurement of thermodynamic values on the surface of skin at specific points of a human body, which are subsequently processed by the software USPIH in combination with the initial data of the patient (sex, age, weight, manually measured heart and respiratory rate) and parameters of the environment (atmosphere pressure is measured automatically), with further representation in the form of a report with health parameters and preliminary conclusion on deviations in the state of health to which attention should be paid, (machine prompt). The qualified medical professional is able to estimate human health or recommend special examinations/tests/procedures for a diagnosis clarification based on the comprehensive approach including the analysis of the received primary screening diagnostic report, patient’s history/complaints and presence of manifested symptoms and signs.
As the method of the MD ANESA/AMP/DAD-ANI is noninvasive, fast and safe, and the results are multi-informative, so such testing will be useful for determining the range of further specific diagnostic procedures, i.e. scope of focus. Using this information, a qualified, trained and experienced medical professional is able to identify existing pathologies and/or suspicious disorders of health. Therefore, the combination of the MD ANALYZER with other methods of diagnostics will be the most beneficial for the most accurate diagnosing of the patient health state.
Given that, it can be concluded such a screening device will be useful both in an admission department of a hospital and in a private clinic, general practitioner’s or a family doctor's cabinet. In addition, usage of the Analyzer in rehabilitation and recovery centers will be helpful for estimating the efficiency of applied treatment and physiological procedures (e.g. UHF and laser therapy, mud and mineral baths, etc.).
The principle of functioning of the MD ANALYZER is based on measurement of temperature in the definite biologically active points of a human body (as mentioned above), taking into account other initial data about the patient and parameters of the environment. Five sensors, connected to the MD Analyzer, measure temperature in biologically active points with accuracy not less than 0.07ºС. MD Analyzer processes signals, coming from sensors placed on the body of a patient and converts these signals into a digital form. Temperature values, measured by sensors, are converted into the information value "bit" and are sent to the central microcontroller of the MD DiaMedScan/ ANESA®/AMP/DAD-ANI® Model 19. Given data are processed by the microcontroller at first and then by the PC's software, after that, it is possible to view and print the results. So, all the information is processed by the specially designed software USPIH, located in the microcontroller and on a PC, becoming the base for the report/survey with more than 100 parameters of a health state. The device has five temperature sensors (digital thermal microprocessors), which are to be placed onto definite biologically active points of a human body (bifurcation of the right and left neck artery (two points), right and left armpit (two points), umbilical area (one point). The sensor, which measures the parameters of environment, such as atmospheric pressure, is installed inside the MD.
Prior to an examination, the five sensors are to be placed on a patient, and the initial data of the patient (gender, weight and age), breath rate and pulse rate (measured with pulse oximeter or manually, when the patient is in a supine position) should be input into the patient's card using the interface of the software USPIH, installed on a PC. The software USPIH manages the process of measurement, data collection and proceeding. Calculation of the data of blood parameters is made by the special calculation algorithm named by Malykhin-Pulavskyi method (Ukrainian Patent No. 60890, 39250, 3546 A61B5).
At the end of each examination, a qualified medical professional receives the report. Besides parameters, there will be a prompt for a qualified medical professional about possible diagnosis at the end of a report. It is not a final diagnosis; it is only preliminary PC conclusion.
