Computer-based Laser Blood Flowmeter OMEGAFLO-Lab

The brand new laser tissue blood flowmeter, OMEGAFLO-Lab, FLO-Lab, operates blood flow value not in the hardware like the FLO-C1, but in the computer software.

The detection frequency range after opt-electric converter is 120 KHz and it is about 5 times of that of the FLO-C1, and the operating frequency range can be set from 5 KHz to 120 KHz. Therefore, the OMEGAFLO-Lab can be used for both slow speed blood flow and fast speed blood flow.
The characteristic of the raw signal after the opt-electric converter can be seen by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) on the computer display, and the frequency range for operating blood flow value can be set by confirming the frequency characteristic of the blood flow under study. The OMEGAFLO-Lab uses a laser diode having the wavelength hardly affected by the difference of absorption due to the oxy ?? deoxy condition of erythrocytes. The measurement depth is about 1 mm from tissue surface.
The OMEGAFLO-Lab is used for measuring brain, skin, internal organs by using conventional optical fiber probes.
The OMEGAFLO-Lab operates blood flow value, and also display and saving data simultaneously. Therefore, additional data acquisition is not needed.
The 2ch-FLO-Lab is used for blood flow comparisom between in normal position and in region of interest.
The new software , FMV version, showing blood flow(FLOW), blood volume (MASS) and blood flw velocity(VEL.) can be installed.

Features

  1. Frequency characteristic of blood flow can be confirmed by FFT.
  2. Operating frequency range can be set according to the velocity of blood flow.
  3. Narrowing the operation frequency range reduces the noise in high frequency for measuring slow speed blood flow.
  4. Avoiding underestimation of fast speed blood flow
  5. Measurement parameters can be set on the Setup function.
  6. Data is saved as Excel file.
  7. Auto zero null function calculated from the frequency range and the detected light intensity
  8. Analog voltage of FLOW is output from the rear panel.
  9. The 2ch-FLO-Lab can be set the frequencyrange separately.
  10. The new software showing the 3 hemodynamics parameters, FLOW, MASS, VEL., can be installed.
