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 system comes with one cuff assembly, pulse sensor, restrainer, and interface cables (pulse and pressure). The interface cables provide simple connection to your BIOPAC or third-party A/D hardware. An optional tail heater is available.
The NIBP200A 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
1 - Pressure cable to MP System
Optional accessories:
Tail Heating Unit TAILHEATA (110 V 60 Hz) or TAILHEATB (220 V 50 Hz)
MRI-compatible sensors (contact BIOPAC)
Setup and calibration details are in the Hardware Guide (under Help in the BIOPAC software or online under Manuals ).
