WIRELESS DEVICE FOR CONFIRMATORY DIAGNOSIS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS THROUGH ANALYSIS OF SWEAT CHLORIDE
First Claim
1. Wireless equipment for confirmatory diagnosis of cystic fibrosis through sweat testing, measuring chloride in sweat concentration by a system of selective ions, using the principle of iontophoresis with pilocarpine, for sweat induction, the equipment comprising:
- a module analyzer/transmitter, being fitted in a case and being provided with positioning straps;
a sweat generator, being attached to the module analyzer;
a sweat generated analyzer and data transmitter, having a selective electrode performing measurement when directly placed on a stimulation area; and
a module terminal/receiver compound being fitted into a compound case and having components therein for data reception coming from the analyzer module/transmitter, display and record in memory, the module analyzer and the module compound being connected by radio frequency.

Abstract
Wireless equipment for confirmatory diagnosis of cystic fibrosis through sweat testing, includes a module of analyzer/transmitter, with a box, built-in microprocessor for sweat induction analysis through chloride measurement device, radio antenna with a transmitter, battery, switch, and sensor card wiring connector with a single-use. The card has two iontophoresis electrodes, and ion-selective electrodes, built-in connector to the module, and a module terminal/receiver. The box (4) has a desktop keyboard, a LCD, microprocessor, USB connections for peripherals, radio antenna with receiver to get data “live” from the analyzer module/transmitter. The device is powered by batteries or wall electrical socket.
