Abstract

A portable dialysis access monitor device, comprising: an electronic monitor device and a server. The electronic monitor device includes a first microprocessor, an acoustic detector, a touch screen, a first storage device, a diagnostic programming module, an alarm device and a power supply device. The first microprocessor collects acoustic frequency signals, sound signals and thrill signals detected from a dialytic fistula. If signal difference is greater than a predetermined threshold value, the electronic monitor device provides a warning by the alarm device. The server includes a second microprocessor, a second storage device and a mobile internet. The server receives and analyzes the acoustic frequency signals, the sound signals and the thrill signals detected from the dialytic fistula by utilizing the second microprocessor to get an analyzed result. The server transmits the analyzed result to the electronic monitor device by utilizing the mobile internet.
