The NIBP200A small animal tail noninvasive blood pressure amplifier incorporates a built-in pump that automatically inflates the blood pressure cuff to occlude the vessel in the tail of a rat or similar small animal. Once the pump reaches the inflation point it slowly deflates the cuff, providing a linear drop in pressure. A single pushbutton controls both the inflation and deflation cycles, making the system very operator friendly.
The cuff assembly attaches to the amplifier via a Luer lock connector and the Piezo pulse sensor attaches via a BNC connector. The amplifier unit also has a gain adjustment control to amplify or attenuate the pulse signal. The amplifier provides two analog outputs for pressure and pulse waveforms.
Each NIBP200A system includes:
1 - amplifier unit (switching power supply works for 110 V or 220 V)
1 - cuff/sensor (size 11 mm is included, but can be specified as 9.5 mm or 13 mm when ordering)
1 - restrainer (size medium is included, but can be specified as small or large when ordering)
1 - Pulse cable to MP System or third-party A/D hardware
1 - Pressure cable to MP System or third-party A/D hardware
Setup and calibration details are in the Hardware Guide (under Help in the BIOPAC software or online under Manuals).
Optional accessories
