Figure 4. Periflux 4000.
Left panel: Tracing of the PF4000 Flux signal in response to stepwise increases of the flow in the tube model, provided by increased flow settings on the supplying syringe pump. Right panel: CMBC, TB and the Flux signal of the PF4000 plotted against the flow setting of the syringe pump. The Flux value correlates linearly and proportionally to the flow setting at the syringe pump. The CMBC parameter increases as the syringe pump is activated, and remains stable thereafter i.e. CMBC is independent of the flow rate. The TB parameter is also independent of the flow rate. (CMBC = concentration of moving blood cells, TB = total backscatter.)
