Stopcock #14036 
included with BLPR2
BLPR2 can be used for the direct arterial and venous pressure mea-
sure ment in animal blood vessels. Supplied sterile, BLPR2 is accurate, 
linear and stable with temperature. May be sterilized cold with Cidex or a 
similar bac te ri cide.
BLPR2 is equipped with a twelve-foot cable and connector com pat i ble 
with WPI's four-channel signal conditioning unit, TBM4M Transbridge, 
and the single-channel BP1 blood pressure mon i tor. Cable has moisture-
resis tant locking connector. A continuous, uniform lumen eliminates 
places for bub bles 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 al lows easy 
filling, flushing, and zeroing of the transducer is in clud ed. Typically, the 
stopcock is located between the trans ducer and the animal catheter 
where it can be used to quickly zero, flush, or de-bubble the transducer.
Blood Pressure Monitor and Transducer
 Monitors animal arterial or venous blood pressure
 Displays systolic, diastolic or average blood pressure
BP1 accepts WPI's BLPR blood pressure transducer (below) as well as other 
blood pressure transducers.
An audio monitor provides a signal with variable pitch and am pli tude, 
allowing you to hear changes in blood pressure. Digital LCD display pro vides 
average or peak signal values from 0 to 1999 mV. With an optional pressure 
gauge (not provided -- see PM015D, page 
187
), the user may cal i brate the 
display to read mm Hg. Re cord er out put con nec tor al lows di rect con nec tion to
