7. A method of organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable vitality assessment, comprising the steps of:
-
placing signal introduction electrodes on opposite lateral peripheral borders of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
placing signal detection electrodes at superior and inferior borders of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable for a first part of an initial measurement of said organ tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
measuring and recording first values of resistance and reactance of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable in said initial measurement;
then placing said signal introduction electrodes on said superior and said inferior borders of said organ tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
placing said signal detection electrodes on said opposite lateral borders of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
measuring and recording second values of said resistance and said reactance of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable; and
comparing said first and second values to normal values to assess vitality of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A method of organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable vitality assessment for transplantation, treatment, consumption or transport of an organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable being assessed, comprising the steps of:
-
placing signal introduction electrodes on opposite lateral peripheral borders of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable upon harvesting of said organ tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
placing signal detection electrodes at superior and inferior borders of said organ tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable for a first part of an initial measurement upon said harvesting of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
measuring and recording first values of resistance and reactance of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable in said initial measurement;
then placing said signal introduction electrodes on said superior and said inferior borders of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
placing said signal detection electrodes on said opposite lateral borders of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable;
measuring and recording second values of said resistance and said reactance of said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable; and
comparing said first and second values to normal values to determine if said organ, tissue, meat, fish, fruit or vegetable is acceptable or not for said transplantation, consumption, treatment or transportation effects. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 18)
