New measurement parameters

Medimate testpackage After a period of improvement and testing, the Fisic Medimate can now measure different parameters at the same time. The lithium, creatinine content and kidney function are measured from a single drop of finger prick blood. The quality of the finger prick blood drop is also measured and indicates whether the blood drop has been applied undamaged. In addition to these parameters, the potassium content can also be measured in plasma and venous whole blood.

In urine the sodium, potassium and creatinine content can be measured from one drop as well. Magnesium is also measured, but is not validated.

With the above set of parameters, the Medimate can be used for various applications:

Instantly monitor lithium medication with bipolar disorder

Lithium monitoringBy measuring lithium, creatinine and kidney function in finger prick blood.

The treatment of patients with bipolar disorder on lithium medication can be supported by self test measurements of the Fisic Medimate at the clinic or at home.

Early detection of dehydration in TPV

Control dehydration By measuring sodium and creatinine in urine

By measuring the concentration of sodium in urine, dehydration can be prevented in time. With the Fisic Medimate this can be done at homes or at the GP. For example, patients with total parenteral nutrition benefit from early detection of dehydration to prevent hospitalization.

Reduce high blood pressure through rapid control of salt intake

Diet monitoring By measuring sodium, potassium and creatinine in urine

Preventing high blood pressure reduces the risk of heart and kidney damage. Too high a salt intake can cause high blood pressure. A low-salt diet is recommended to lower blood pressure. With the Fisic Medimate it is possible to check the salt intake of the past days so that you have feedback on your salt intake.

Reduce the risk of kidney failure through rapid control of a low-salt diet

Diet monitoring By measuring sodium, potassium and creatinine in urine

The Fisic Medimate can measure the sodium, potassium and creatinine content in morning urine. The measurement provides feedback on the low-salt diet and motivates the patient to eat less salt. This reduces the pressure on the kidneys and prevent detoriation.

Reduce the risk of drug poisoning in renal failure

Medication control By measuring creatinine, potassium and kidney function in blood

When medication is used in combination with renal failure it is important to adjust the dosage of the medication to prevent intoxication due to kidney failure. With the Medimate it is possible to directly measure kidney function ant to adjust the medication safely.

Reduce the risk of drug poisoning in heart failure

Medication control By measuring potassium and creatinine in venous blood

Monitoring creatinine and potassium levels are important with different types of medication with heart failure. With the Medimate this becomes possible at the patient bed side.

Reduce the risk of medication poisoning with new medication

Medication control By measuring creatinine and kidney function in blood

For many medications it is necessary to monitor the health of the kidneys. With the Medimate the kidney function can be checked quickly by the doctor or pharmacist.
