An analogue signal conditioner for monitoring pressure, force,
temperature, and other physical parameters provided by
transducers, BP-1 Pressure Monitor is designed to monitor
animal arterial or venous blood pressure, displaying
systolic, diastolic or average blood pressure. BP-1
accepts WPI's BLPR blood pressure transducer (page 82) as
well as other BP transducers.
An
audio monitor provides a signal with variable pitch and
amplitude, allowing you to hear changes in blood pressure.
Digital LCD display provides average or peak signal values
from 0 to 1999 mV. When supplied with an optional pressure
gauge, the LCD shows pressure in mm Hg. Recorder output
connector allows direct connection to a pen recorder,
oscilloscope or computer front end.
BLOOD
PRESSURE
BLPR
can be used for the direct arterial and venous pressure
measurement in animal blood vessels. Supplied non-sterile,
BLPR is accurate, linear and stable with temperature. May
be sterilized cold with Cidex or a similar bactericide.
BLPR is equipped with a twelve-foot cable and connector
compatible with WPI's four-channel signal conditioning
unit, TBM-4 Transbridge, and the single-channel BP-1 blood
pressure monitor. Cable has moisture-resistant locking
connector. A continuous, uniform lumen eliminates places
for bubbles to form and lodge. The clear fluid path is
easy to inspect. Easy to mount - slotted transducer body
accepts Velcro strap. To facilitate setup and operation, a
four-way stopcock that allows easy filling, flushing, and
zeroing of the transducer is included. Typically, the
stopcock is located between the transducer and the animal
catheter where it can be used to quickly zero, flush, or
de-bubble the transducer.
