Data acquisition module Cardiomax III

ECG

General Information The Cardiomax-III Thermodilution Cardiac Output Computer doubles as a physiological data acquisition system. The new thermodilution cardiac computer interfaces directly to a Pentium desktop or laptop computer via a very fast RS-232 link. It is intended to be used on a variety of lab animals from mice to horses. In addition to measuring cardiac output and associated parameters (SV, HR), the Cardiomax-III can be used to measure, display, and log ECG (EKG) with its own low level amplifier and two (2) blood pressures (DP, MP, SP, dp/dt). Storage of all parameter data is provided in .CSV format for easy import into a variety of analysis programs. The thermo-dilution curve image can also be saved. The Cardiomax-III can use a variety of thermistor catheters as well as Columbus Instruments' thermocouple microprobes. The Cardiomax-III's special design makes it resistant to external radio signal interference and its small size (35.5 x 29 x 10 cm) makes it very convenient in a crowded laboratory environment.
