Abstract:
A method and system for detecting and neutralizing blood clots during dialysis (e.g., hemodialysis) is provided. A fiber-optic sensor is provided in a hemodialysis machine to detect vibration of blood cells, and the hemodialysis machine can be configured to prevent blood clotting by sounding an alarm, agitating the blood cells, infusing saline, raising temperature and/or infusing heparin.
