IR Plethysmograph - Ear Clip

Overview:

The MLT1020EC Plethysmograph is an infrared photoelectric sensor used to record changes in pulsatile blood flow from the ear. The plethysmograph operates by recording changes in blood volume as the arterial pulse expands and contracts the microvasculature. The plethysmograph can be plugged directly into a PowerLab Pod port, or Front-end (amplifier) such as the ML142 GP Amp or any ADInstruments Bridge Amp.

Features:

• Uses an infrared photoelectric sensor to detect changes in tissue blood volume
  
• Ear clip for attachment to the earlobe
• Uses infrared light transmitted through the tissue, and so works best on fleshy areas
  
• Can be connected to a Bridge Amp, GP Amp, or directly to a Pod port of a PowerLab
  

Applications:

The IR Plethysmographs can be used to record changes in blood volume as the arterial pulse expands and contracts the microvasculature.
