Excerpt

Capillary refilling time (CRT) is an important indicator of microcirculation [1, 2]. To develop a CRT measurement device, the optimal strength and time for pressing the nail bed were investigated [3]. However, whether examiners can precisely achieve optimal strength and time remains unknown. Thus, the requirements for a CRT measurement device have not yet been fully elucidated. We developed a portable CRT measurement device with a feedback function to achieve optimal strength and time (Fig. 1) and tested a hypothesis that the feedback function is the key for satisfying the measurement conditions of the CRT device. …
