This Large Animal Pressure Volume Foundation System is configured for measurement of left ventricular pressure (LVP) and volume in large animal (sheep, pig) hearts, using an appropriate pressure-volume (PV) catheter.

System Components:

• PowerLab C
• 3 x Instrument Interfaces
• LabChart Pro software (includes PV Loop software)
• MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit (large and small animals)
• Rho Calibration Cuvette Kit
• PV Extension Cable (Ventri-Cath to MPVS Ultra, 10ft) (required for connecting Ventri-Cath PV catheters to the MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit).
• MPVS Ultra BNC Cable Pack (required for connecting the MPVS -Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit to the PowerLab).  Includes:
  • BNC-BNC 9" cables (10)
  • BNC-BNC 3' cables (2)
  • BNC-BNC 1' cable (1)

 This system can also be used for small animals (rat or mouse); however, this requires the separate purchase of Volume Calibration Cuvettes.

This MPVS Ultra Single Segment Foundation System is suitable for measurement of left ventricular pressure (LVP) and volume in rats using an appropriate pressure-volume (PV) catheter (purchased separately). This MPVS Ultra Single Segment PV Unit can be upgraded to the MPVS Ultra PV Unit for small and large animals by purchasing the MPVS Ultra Upgrade (Converts SS Unit to MS Unit).

System Components:

• 1 x Instrument Interface
• LabChart Pro software (includes PV Loop software)
• MPVS Ultra Single Segment Pressure-Volume Unit
• MPVS Ultra Single Segment Cable Pack
  • MPVS Ultra Cable Pack (CEC-4E PV Cable, PEC-4D, 4ft)
  • BNC-BNC 9" cables (3)
• Volume Calibration Cuvette (2 to 15 mm)

Note:  For the MPVS Ultra Single Segment System, measurements can be only be made from outputs including:

• Pressure 1
• Pressure 2
• Segment 1 (Volume)
• ECG
• Temperature and Cuvette (For diagnostic purposes)
• Segments 2 - 7 outputs are disabled by the software. Signals on the Composite Volume should be ignored.
