Abstract(in English) Percutaneous extracorporeal circulation therapies, such as apheresis therapies, and hemodialysis therapies, are common treatments in intensive-care units, hemodialysis centers, and others. There is always a possibility of continuous bleeding and needle removal from the puncture site. Since the blood flow in these therapies is high, a hemorrhagic shock may be caused by severe blood loss, and ?in the worst case? this may even lead to the patient's death. Therefore, it is important to continuously monitor the blood leakage during the treatment. Conventional methods detect the blood by means of a pair of electrodes or a light emitting diode/a photo diode, but their function may be affected by leakage of the colored chemical used, as well as by sweat or light. Herein, we developed a blood-leakage-determination module based on the chromaticity of a color sensor. Since the method is specifically sensitive to the red color, it can detect blood. We performed experiments to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and compared it with the existing ones.
