Cuffs for Measuring Blood Pressure Noninvasively
The IITC sensors have the
ability to detect the mouse blood pressure or rat blood
pressure via the tail photoelectrically. The photoelectric
sensor, light source and sensor are built into a one unit
which attaches to any one of the IITC restrainers with
nylon handscrews. All the sensors are nonmagnetic. They
are extremely sensitive in detecting pulses due to IITC's
superior design and knowledge of mouse and rat blood pressure
measurements. The ambient temperature that a reading can
be taken starts at 30 degrees C. The maximum temperature
needed for a test is usually 32 degrees C. for rats and
34 degrees C. for mice. The systolic readings are within
five mmHg of Cannulation and Telemetry. (Validated)
