ICG (thorax)

To record ICG (thorax) use the following BIOPAC hardware:

Standard setup:

1. Noninvasive Cardiac Output Amplifier
   • NICO100D Smart Amplifier
     measures thoracic impedance for performing noninvasive cardiac output measurements
2. Lead Sets
   • LEAD131 for tetrapolar electrode configurations
     provides 4 x 50 cm clip leads: White I⁺, Red Vin⁺, Green Vin^–, Black I
   • LEAD132 for spot electrode configurations
     provides 8 x 64 cm clip leads (4 x 25 cm wires each split to 2 x 36 cm leads):
     2 x White I⁺, 2 x Red Vin⁺, 2 x Green Vin^–, 2 x Black I^–
3. Electrodes
   • EL516 Bioimpedance Strip Electrodes: sticky hydrogel, carbon film backed, standard snap contact
   • EL500 Paired Electrodes: Fixed-spacing, pre-gelled peel-and-stick foam-backed sheet with two snap contacts

For use in MRI environment:

1. MR-Compatible Noninvasive Cardiac Output Amplifier
   • NICO100C-MRI Impedance Cardiography (ICG) Noninvasive Cardiac Output Module for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2. Lead Set
   • MECMRI-NICO filtered cable set
3. Electrodes
   • EL526 Carbon fiber, foam-backed, pre-gelled strip electrodes with TP leads
     16.5 cm x 1.3 cm (6.5″ x 0.5″) sheet with 4 x 15 cm lead cables terminated in 1.5 mm Touch Proof sockets
