Fingraph®, a fingertip blood sampler that conveniently measures sodium and potassium electrolyes in just one minute, debuts in Japan on August 6
- Sodium and potassium electrolyte concentrations in the blood can be measured easily in just one minute
- A compact device that allows convenient testing at hospital out-patient visits, and for patients in-hospital or at home
- Test requires only a small sample of blood obtained by pricking the patient's fingertip. This reduces pain and burden compared to ordinary blood testing using a syringe, as well as the burden on physicians and nurses
