145 – Respiratory Effort Transducer – TSD101B

The TSD101B can be used to record respiratory effort, by measuring the change in thoracic or abdominal circumference. The TSD101B is a silicone rubber strain assembly that connects to a fully adjustable nylon strap to allow the transducer to fit any circumference.

The transducer presents minimal resistance to movement and is extremely unobtrusive, making it well-suited for a variety of different applications. Due to its novel construction, the TSD101B can measure extremely slow respiration patterns with no loss in signal amplitude while maintaining excellent linearity and minimal hysteresis.

For the most current respiratory effort transducer, see TSD201.

Associated Applications

• Psychophysiology - Record and analyze BP, ECG, HRV, EDA, EMG, EEG, EOG, RSP, etc. Interface to stimulus presentation programs...use automated analysis routines to easily score and analyze data.
• Sleep Studies - Long term recordings with up to 16 channels of data. Record EEG, EOG, EMG, respiration, temp., sound, limb position and more. Filter out EEG frequencies to score sleep stages.
• Respiration | Pulmonary Function - Perform lung volume measurements, examine pressure/volume relationships, and analyze respiratory gases. Use AcqKnowledge to integrate airflow and analyze data.
• Exercise Physiology - Examine ventilation, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, biopotentials, temp., and biomechanical signals simultaneously. Record wirelessly with BioNomadix.
• Remote Monitoring - BioNomadix modules provide high quality, full-bandwidth data for a variety of signals—ECG, EEG, EGG, EMG, EOG, PPG, RSP, SKT, Accelerometry, Cardiac Output, Dynamometry, and Heel-Toe Strike.
