The Dual Wireless Respiration BioNomadix Transmitter is specifically designed to measure respiratory effort associated with circumferential changes in the thoracic or abdominal regions of the torso. The BioNomadix setup establishes a fixed wideband response of DC to 10 Hz for monitoring extremely rapid respiratory effort variations (up to 600 breaths per minute) associated with coughing or sneezing, or measuring relatively static respiratory conditions, such as cessation of breathing. Additional internal highpass and lowpass optional filters provide for high quality amplification of respiratory effort signals even during periods of vigorous exercise or activity.
Use AcqKnowledge to evaluate the difference between thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort. The respiratory effort transducer is sensitive enough to measure the circumferential change associated with each heartbeat, so AcqKnowledge can be used to extract both heart rate BPM and breathing rate BPM from respiratory effort signals.
The high signal to noise ratio and high time-based sampling resolution permits the transmitted data to be used for precise respiratory studies. Respiratory measurement can also be synchronized to a specific stimulus for stimulus/response investigations, such as those associated with challenge and threat.
Respiratory signal data is transmitted at a rate of 2000 Hz, providing high resolution respiratory effort waveforms at the receiver module’s output. Using AcqKnowledge, both fast or slow response respiration data can be isolated to accommodate high quality signal component identification.
