Device for verifying the accuracy of a spectral analyzer
First Claim
1. An artificial member that simulates an animal body part, the artificial member comprising a container, the container comprising one, or more than one chamber and having a neck extending from end thereof, the neck having a lumen in fluid communication with the one, or more than one chamber, and the neck comprising an orifice sealed with a cap, the orifice in fluid communication with the lumen, wherein the container is made of a light-scattering and light-reflecting material that approximates the light-scattering, light-reflecting and light-absorbing properties of the animal body part.

Abstract
An artificial member that mimics the absorbance spectrum of an animal body part and includes the spectral components of blood analytes is disclosed. The artificial member is made of a light scattering and reflecting material and is configured to be reproducibly received in a measuring receptor that is operatively connected to a non-invasive monitoring device.

19. A method of determining the precision and accuracy of a non-invasive monitoring device comprising:
-
(a) providing an artificial member comprising a container, the container comprising one, or more than one chamber, and having a neck extending from one end thereof, the neck having a lumen in fluid communication with the one, or more than one chamber and the neck comprising an orifice sealed with a cap, the orifice in fluid communication with the lumen wherein the container is made of a light-scattering and light-reflecting material that approximates the light-scattering, light-reflecting and light-absorbing properties of an animal body part;
(b) inserting the artificial member into a measuring receptor that is operatively connected to the non-invasive monitoring device;
(c) taking measurements with the monitoring device; and
(d) comparing the measurements obtained in step (c) with measurements obtained with the animal body part, which the artificial member simulates. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
