Hi Jerry, There are no commercially available, FDA approved NIR blood glucose analyzers that I am familiar with. Speaking with Jerry Workman, who is sort of the guru in the field, he mentions (and this was over a year ago) that there are over 170 patents on in-vivo blood blood glucose analysis and none of them work. (and I think I've worked with about half the people working on this. And if you think about it, it really is like looking for a needle ina (large) haystack- there are so many competing 'glucose-like' structures in biological systems. But people keep trying because the Holy Grail is worth a lot of money... |

The discussion turned out to be very timely. I just received a message containing a link to this URL, which is titled "Measurement of tissue saturation levels using portable near-IR spectroscopy in clinically healthy dogs: http://www.spectroscopynow.com/coi/cda/detail.cda?id=20098&type=Feature&chId=2&page=1 I haven't read it myself, yet, but it looks like it should have some pertinent info. \o/ /_\ |

dear all there are many devices measure the o2 in blood and they are important in the field of emergency, but they lack the ability to measure the o2 if the blood stopped like in accidents or in heart attack, but there was anew method to measure the o2 in the tissue and this is very useful and they use NIR IN THE Measurement BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHICH MECHANISM It may be the dispersive mechanism i remembered a name one of these device may be INSPECTRA ST02 for the glucose devices measurement no commercial devices in the market until now |

Jerry - the problem of glucose measurement by NIR is of great interest, for both scientific and commercial reasons. At one point I heard an estimate that at least 60 groups were working on it worldwide. As of yet I don't know of anyone's having solved it to the satisfaction of the regulatory authorities such as the FDA. The problem of oxygenation is much simpler, and there is a device on the market called the "Pulse Oximeter". I don't recall who the manufacturer is, but a patent search should turn it up in short order. \o/ /_\ |

Is anybody aware of a commercialized in vivo NIR glucose monitor approved by FDA? Obviously Gary Small and Mark Arnold in the University of Iowa have done a lot of great work on NIR measurement of blood glucose. Who are the gurus in NIR measurement of blood hemoglobin? Is there a commercialized NIR hemoglobin/deoxyhemoglobin monitor? |
