Question

What is the role of Cupraphan in haemodialysis?

(a) used to check conductivity of dialyzer

(b) used as membrane

(c) used to check blood leakage

(d) not at all used

This question was posed to me in an interview.

I need to ask this question from Measurement of Hearing in section Audiometry of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(c) used to check blood leakage

Cupraphan is used in hemodialysis to check for blood leakage from the dialyzer. It is a test substance that helps detect any blood that might be leaking from the blood-side compartment of the dialyzer into the dialysis fluid. It ensures the integrity of the dialysis process.
