System Configuration & Extensions

Basic System | Implanted Telemetry Extension | Snapshot option

Basic System

An external transmitter is worn into a jacket and provides physiological signals from each animal.

Various sensors are plugged to the transmitter:

External electrodes to record up to 9-lead ECG
1 or 2 belts to record lung volume by Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography (RIP)
An inflatable cuff placed on limb or tail for non-invasive blood pressure
A thermistor to measure skin temperature

3 axis activity and total acceleration is calculated by an accelerometer embedded into the transmitter.

Implanted Telemetry extension

Combine jacket telemetry with a simple easyTEL+ M2 implants to get core temperature and/or arterial blood pressure (Implant and jacket telemetry can be used independently or simultaneously).

From emkaPACK5, non-invasively record:

Single and multi-lead ECG
Respiration from one or two inductance belts
3-axis acceleration to assess activity

From easyTEL+ implant, acquire:

Blood pressure
Core temperature

Snapshot-ECG recordings are the mainstay of cardiovascular toxicity studies owing to their cost-effectiveness and vast amount of reference data. The emkaPACK5 can be configured in a mobile snapshot ECG recording system, where the receiver and PC are wheeled into the subject room for maximum efficiency and flexibility.
