Suitable for small children (~4-5 years) to large adults
The noninvasive blood pressure system employees a double finger cuff that is comfortable for the subject to wear and easy to place on the hand. The cuffs (included with system) come in three sizes to accommodate children through large adults. The system outputs a continuous noninvasive blood pressure waveform that is similar to a direct arterial blood pressure waveform and displays values for systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure, and heart rate.
Wireless and noninvasive physiological monitoring system tracks blood pressure, using Pulse-Decomposition Analysis (PDA) technology, as well as heart rate. NIBP-MRI operates passively at a low constant coupling pressure of 40 mmHg.
After being provided a calibrated blood pressure reading, the device noninvasively tracks blood pressure by analyzing the timing and amplitudes of the primary left ventricular ejection pulse as well as the arterial pulse reflections, at the first member of the thumb or middle phalange of the middle finger, the wrist, or the upper arm. The system provides relative, real-time, beat-to-beat pressure measurement values during magnetic resonance imaging. The system runs on a computer using Windows XP or Vista and sends analog signals for systolic and diastolic blood pressure back to a BIOPAC MP Device or third-party A/D convertors.
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. Optional heater and MRI-compatible sensors available.
NIBP200A - A single pushbutton controls both the inflation and deflation cycles, making the system very user-friendly. The amplifier has a gain adjustment control to amplify or attenuate the pulse signal and provides two analog outputs for pressure and pulse waveforms. Interface to BIOPAC or third-party A/D hardware.
NIBP250 - Use the touch screen LCD user interface to control the system and display the data. The monitor does not require a data acquisition system or computer to analyze the data, but can interface with existing BIOPAC data acquisition platforms and third-party systems when combining other physiological signals. The NIBP250 is completely stand-alone; displaying, analyzing and saving the data for further use.
