Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring the vital status of a biological material in which a pair of sensors are held in a housing for sensing separate respective stimulus of a biological material. A controller operatively communicates with the pair of sensors for receiving signals reflective of the respective stimulus measured by the sensors. An evaluator generates a status signal representative of the state of the biological material based on the signals, and a reporter displays the status signal, so that the vital status of the biological material can be monitored. A method of monitoring the vital status and adjusting delivery of a medicant is disclosed.
