Animal research telemetry implant DST milli-HRT

for small animalsECGheart rate

Animal Implantable Heart Rate and Temperature Logger Leadless, minimally invasive and easy to implant. Long term heart rate and body temperature monitoring. Ideal for long- and short term studies in which baseline, stress and immunology responses are recorded in medium sized animals. -Leadless, minimally invasive -Small size – 11.8g -Long battery life – typically over 8 months -Automatic stress-free measurements -ECG derived heart rate, including data verification Leadless, Minimally Invasive The DST milli-HRT monitor simultaneously measures long term heart rate and temperature in the study animal. The data logger has no external wires, which makes it especially simple to implant. It is made of unique ceramic housing and epoxy and is hermetically sealed, guaranteeing biocompatibility. The logger is ideal for a variety of studies including those monitoring behaviour and stress response, in the fields of laboratory animal research, wildlife research, animal welfare and fish physiology. Leadless ECG Derived Heart Rate The heart rate is derived from a leadless single channel ECG. As the electrodes are part of the housing the logger is especially easy to implant. The logger takes a burst measurement of ECG at the set time interval and calculates the mean heart rate for each recording. For validation purposes, individual ECG bursts can be saved. In addition each burst is graded with a QI (quality index). Stress-Free Long-Term Studies The logger is especially useful when a comprehensive data set throughout the research is needed with no disturbance to the animal. The heart rate logger has a battery life of 19 months, with sampling interval of 10 min at 600
