Nanoduct® Neonatal Sweat Analysis System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Nanoduct Neonatal Sweat Analysis System is designed for early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) in newborns. It utilizes a compact, hand-held device to measure sweat conductivity, which is indicative of CF.
Specifications: The system requires only 3 microliters of sweat and provides continuous readings of conductivity. It features automatic averaging of conductivity over a 5-minute period after an initial 3-minute wait. The device operates with a nominal current of 0.5 mA for 2.5 minutes during iontophoresis.
Procedures: The system uses Pilogel Iontophoretic Discs for sweat induction, which are applied for 2.5 minutes. The sweat is then analyzed in real-time using a microconductivity cell. The device supports multiple languages and includes a USB port for interfacing with computers.
Innovations: The Nanoduct system combines technologies from the Macroduct Sweat Collector and Sweat-Chek Analyzer, miniaturized for neonatal use. It eliminates the need for a separate sweat collection phase, reducing potential errors and saving time.
Recommendations: Early testing is crucial for improving the quality of life and lifespan of children with CF. The system is suitable for patients of all ages, although it is specifically designed for neonates.
Technical Details: The device operates within a temperature range of 15 to 30 °C and is powered by four AA batteries. It features a real-time clock and supports RS-232 and USB outputs.
References: The document cites multiple studies supporting the efficacy of sweat conductivity analysis for CF diagnosis.

Nanoduct® Neonatal Sweat Analysis System-2

NANODUCT NEONATAL SWEAT ANALYSIS SYSTEM Initial Sweating Rate Displayed Automatically As soon as sweat enters the microconductivity cell, the display alerts the operator. After a very short interval, the display reads out the initial sweating rate and gives continuous readings of realtime conductivity. Requires Only 3 Microliters of Sweat! The miniscule conductivity sensor allows a reading at only 3 microliters of sweat, which, for reasonably mature glands usually happens within 6 minutes after applying the sensor. Shorter Stimulation Time Improved Pilogel Iontophoretic Discs yield maximal gland...
