Spectral measurements of effluent dialysate solutions
a quantitative analysis of the spectral characteristics of the effluent dialysate solution using a proprietary algorithm and sensing equipment that results in a quantitative CloudCath Score.
Time frame: immediately post dialysis
Conductivity measurements of effluent dialysate solutions.
a quantitative assessment of conductivity of the effluent dialysate solution using a proprietary algorithm and sensing equipment that results in a quantitative CloudCath Score.
Time frame: immediately post dialysis
