Multi-Seg PV Catheter (3F, 8E S-Field 4.3mm, U-tip, 140cm)

The Millar ultra-miniature PV catheters have revolutionized cardiovascular research as their small size means that they can be inserted directly into the heart with no effect on normal functioning of heart.  Having a single catheter with the pressure sensor and electrodes allows for the simultaneous measurement of both ventricular pressure and volume from a continuously beating, intact heart.

The SSD-1033 is is a 3F Multi-Segmented, Single Field, Pressure-Volume catheter (U-tip, 140cm) which can be used in measuring ventricular function in a rabbit or cat. The single pressure sensor is located in the center of the catheter, between the electrodes. For determination of ventricular volume the catheter has eight (8) electrodes with a spacing of 4.3mm.

The catheter requires the CEC-10E PV Cable for connection to the 880-0168 MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit (small or large animals).

The SSD-1033 can be used with the ML880B46 MPVS Ultra Foundation System which includes the following components:

• ML880 PowerLab 16/30 (LabChart and Scope software)
• MLS260 LabChart Pro software
• 880-0168 MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit
• 910-1060 Rho Cuvette Kit
• 880-0169 Cable Pack (10ft)
• 880-0172 BNC Cable Pack
• 001-1056 PVAN Ultra Software and User's Guide

Calibration
A Pressure Gauge kit which provides the necessary items to calibrate the pressure transducers is available. Please contact your nearest ADInstruments representative for any further information.
