Process and equipment for examination electro-chemical effects of metal replacements (implantations) in living organism

Abstract

Abstract A process and an equipment are used for examination of electro-chemical effects inducing inflammation and allergic symptoms in the living organism, which are induced by two or more metal replacements respectively by other, in the living organism implanted metal (implantation). During the procedure according to the invention at patients with inflammatory and/or allergic symptoms it is controlled by in vivo current-measuring near the approachable metal replacements (implantations), if the ion current - which is established on the effect of galvanic cell has been created by metal replacements - reaches the allergic symptoms or the critical value inducing inflammation, further on the values of electrode potentials measured on the implantations are compared to the anode-polarization curves given to the metal replacement alloys, and on the basis of it the conclusion is drawn on the measure of ion current developed between certain metal replacement pairs. The equipment according to the invention consists of an electronic unit (1) and probe (2, 3, 5) used for measuring current resp. electrode potential. In the electronic unit there is a current-voltage converter (11) sensing current to be measured, an instrumental amplifier (12) sensing voltage to be measured, a precision rectifier (13) connected by its input with the output of formers, and on the output of it a suitably logarithmic amplifier (14) is connected, and on the amplifier a voltage-current converter is connected, which drives a suitably analogous indicator, especially Deprez-instrument (16). For the sake of the simplier handling, the equipment can be supplied with sound and/or light-source, which give signal for the doctor in case of overflowing a given value (voltage or current) about the presence of pathological ion-migration.
