Piezo Respiratory Belt Transducer

Overview:

The Respiratory Belt Transducer contains a piezo-electric device that responds linearly to changes in length. It measures changes in thoracic or abdominal circumference during respiration. These measurements can indicate inhalation, expiration and breathing strength and can be used to derive breathing rate. The transducer may be used to characterize breathing patterns. The transducer is a solid-state device that requires no excitation. The MLT1132 connects directly to a BNC Input on any PowerLab or MacLab. It is comfortable to wear, rugged, reliable and washable. It is suitable for use on animals of various sizes (from cats to horses) as well as humans.

The Respiratory Belt Transducer is also available with a DIN connector (MLT1132/D) to connect directly to the 8-pin DIN input on PowerLabs or MacLabs.

Applications:

The MLT1132 is used to observe respiration by measuring changes in abdominal or thoracic circumference. These measurements can indicate inhalation and expiration as well as used to derive breathing rate. The transducer may be used to characterize breathing patterns. The velcro extension belt allows the transducer to be used on humans and larger animals.
