Fit
Is part of the Water Treatment Quality Monitoring kit (KWATKTREQM-).
Function
Used to measure the sodium concentration in drinking water, specifically for malnourished children in Intensive Therapeutic Feeding Centre (ITFC) to prevent hypernatremia (salt accumulation). Malnourished children appear to be more vulnerable during the first phase because they have a lower renal capacity, and therefore cannot filter salts out of their blood.
