Telemetry SNA and Pressure Transmitter (Small Animal, TR46SP)

Overview:

The MLE1022 Telemetry SNA and Pressure Transmitter (TR46SP) is suitable for measuring Sympathetic Nerve Activity and intravascular  pressure, in addition to temperature, in small animals ≥200 g (ideally suited to rats).

Compatible Receivers:
The MLE1022 transmitter is programmed with one of 12 independent transmission frequencies and is compatible with the following receivers:

• MLE1162 SNA and Pressure Master Receiver Controller (TR162) and
• MLE1162SUB SNA and Pressure Subsidiary Receiver (TR162SUB)

Compatible Chargers:
The MLE1022 transmitter contains a rechargeable battery which can record continuously for approximately 6 hours. The transmitter battery is recharged within 4 h, or can be charged continuously for continuous data collection using the MLE1006CPS Wireless Continuous Power Supplier (Small Animal, TR802).

Compatible Telemetry Foundation Systems:

• PL3516B107 Telemetry SNA and Pressure Foundation System

 

Features:

• Fully implantable
• A high gain amplifier, analog to digital converter (8 kHz sampling and an input range of ±60 micro Volts for the measured SNA signal, and 500 Hz sampling and an input range of -20 to +300 mmHg for the measured pressure signal)
• An 8 cm fluid filled and gel tipped catheter
• Wireless transmission range up to 5 m
• Continuous charging/recording using the MLE1006CPS Wireless Continuous Power Supplier (Small Animal, TR802)
• Transmitter power-down in situ, via the receiver, to conserve and extend battery life
• Each transmitter is programmed with one of 12 independent transmitting frequencies
• Transmitter battery is easily recharged using the MLE1006CPS Wireless Continuous Power Supplier, therefore no battery refurbishment is required.

This transmitter is capable of continuous charging/recording.

Applications:

The MLE1022 Telemetry SNA and Pressure Transmitter (TR46SP) is suitable for measuring Sympathetic Nerve Activity and intravascular or intralumenal pressure, in addition to temperature, in small animals ≥200 g (ideally suited to rats).
