WOUND EXUDATE MONITOR ACCESSORY
First Claim
1. A stand-alone system for assessing wound exudates from a wound of a patient, said system comprising:
- detecting means for detecting one or more physiological values of the wound exudates from the wound of the patient;
comparing means for comparing the one or more detected physiological values to one or more predetermined physiological values to obtain a comparison result in real time; and
a processor to provide an electronic signal based on the comparison resultin which the electronic signal corresponds to guidelines for treating the wound.

Abstract
A stand-alone system for assessing wound exudates from the wound of a patient is described. The system contains functionality to detect, process and report various wound parameters. The system also may make treatment determinations based on these findings. The system may detect one or more physiological values of the wound exudates from the wound of the patient. The system may also compare detected physiological values to predetermined physiological values, in order to obtain a comparison result in real time. The system may include a processor (15) which provides an electronic signal based on the comparison result in which the electronic signal may corresponds to guidelines for treating the wound (3). The system described may be an accessory, which may be used on its own, or in conjunction with other wound treatment devices (9).

11. A stand-alone system for assessing wound exudates from a wound of a patient, said system comprising:
-
a wound treatment device; sensors or detectors to detect or sense one or more values of one or more physiological parameters of the wound exudate; a processor to analyze the values of the one or more physiological parameters so as to obtain an assessment of the wound exudate and provide a treatment guideline based on the assessment; and in which the sensors or detectors, and the processor attach to the wound treatment device.
