Telemetry SNA and Pressure Transmitter (Small Animal, TR46SP)

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).

MLE1022 transmitter features:

• Fully implantable
• A high gain amplifier, analog to digital converter (8 kHz sampling and an input range of ±60 microVolts 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.

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:

• ML880B107 Telemetry SNA and Pressure Foundation System
