Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor Semi-Automatic

In the development of this non-invasive measuring system for determining the systolic blood pressure in small laboratory animals the main aim was to be able to offer a small, favorably-priced and mobile instrument.

It is based on the time-proven "Tail-Cuff Method" – this has been continually developed and improved by our technicians for more than thirty years. Instead of the piezo-transducer used previously, a new optical blood pressure sensor is used that allows reliable signal recognition even in very small animals. In this way a technologically high-quality measuring system has been created; it can be supplied for use with all small laboratory animals (mice, rats).

• Ideal whenever smaller numbers of animals are to be measured
• Pressure in tail cuff is increased and decreased stepwise by the user
• The control unit is ready for connection to a chart recorder in order to display the pulsation curve picked up by the sensor
• The systolic blood pressure values can then be easily read off from the calibrated pressure waveform
• Available for a variety of laboratory animals
