The Miris Human Milk Analyzer (HMA) quantitatively measures the concentration of fat, protein, and carbohydrate in human milk. The Miris HMA also provides calculated values for total solids and energy. These measurements, in conjunction with other clinical assessments, may be used to aid in the nutritional management of newborns, including preterm, and infants. This device is intended for use in healthcare by trained healthcare personnel at clinical laboratories. The Miris HMA is also intended for use by personnel trained in the use of the device at Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) accredited human milk banks, for the purpose of labeling milk donations and in the processing of milk donations.
An electrically-powered device intended to be used for the quantitative determination of the nutritional content of a breast milk specimen, using infrared spectroscopy. The device is used to measure the concentration of fat, carbohydrate and protein, to aid healthcare professionals in the nutritional management of newborns and infants. It is a benchtop laboratory instrument with dedicated operational, data processing and/or data display software.
