| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hemolysis test of medical devices is a test to investigate the blood compatibility of blood-contacting devices. This test has a potential problem that the test results depend on the initial quality of the blood used for the test. In this study, a simple and rapid optical method has been proposed to assess the fragility of the blood cells contained in the test blood. When the blood cells are exposed to low osmotic pressure, damaged cells collapse faster than normal cells. Consequently, the fragility of cells can be estimated from the change speed of the optical properties of the cells. Slight change of cell membrane damage caused by shear loading and atmospheric plasma irradiation could be detected by the proposed method. This method enables fast screening of test blood and provide a solution to one of the problem on hemolysis tests.
