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.

The Miris Human Milk Analyzer (HMA) includes a mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy system and a man-machine interface (MMI). The user is guided by the interactive MMI, via the screen, through the measurement process by use of the six-button controlled menu system. Milk samples are injected into the measuring unit (cuvette) via the instrument inlet using a syringe (sample volume 3 mL), excess sample and waste exiting via the outlet. The device consists of the following components and accessories: an instrument casing with sample inlet and outlet holding a measurement unit and electronics mainboard, with AC/DC adapter, syringes for injection of sample, zero-setting solution, quality control solutions, and cleaning agent, waste container (not provided by the manufacturer), and outlet tubes.

The Miris Human Milk Analyzer (HMA) is a system for the quantitative measurement of fat, protein, and total carbohydrate content in human milk. The measurements of fat, protein and carbohydrate are also used in calculating the total solids and the energy content of human milk samples. The HMA unit includes a mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy system and a user interface. The user is guided by the interactive interface, via the screen, through the measurement process by use of the six-button controlled menu system. Milk samples (3 mL) are injected into the measuring unit (cuvette) via the instrument inlet using a syringe, with excess sample and waste exiting via the outlet. The HMA device is comprised of a sample cuvette, hardware consisting of a mainboard and central processing unit (CPU) board, a display, touch button, fan, case, and consumables. The hardware consists of a mainboard with a CPU-board, detector board, and emitter board.
