volume-pressure recording

For the study of 2/4/6/8 mice or rats (CODA™ 2 / CODA™ 4 / CODA™ 6 / CODA™ 8) weighing from 10g to 950g. 

The volume-pressure recording technology used in the sensors is clinically validated and provides virtually 100% correlation with direct blood pressure measurements. 

The systems are supplied as complete acquisition systems, including hardware controllers, restrainers, cuffs and software. Onsite training is available at your facility. 

Six blood pressure parameters are acquired: 

• systolic blood pressure
• diastolic blood pressure ^* 
• mean blood pressure
• heart rate
• blood flow
• blood volume

^* unlike certain other NIBP systems, diastolic blood pressure is actually measured rather than calculated
 
The supplied software allows real-time monitoring of all parameters from all subjects.  It can simultaneously acquire measurements from 48 animals (six CODA 8 systems).
