SpO2 Base Sensor

Overview:

The MLT325 SpO₂ Base Sensor is a transflectance sensor that allows convenient sensor of placement on the underside, base of the tail or other well-vascularized surfaces of the animal and is used to measure the blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂). It is then secured by using surgical or any other suitable tape (not included). It is supplied with the ML325/BS Animal Oximeter Pod (Base Sensor). The MLT323 SpO₂ Animal Clip Sensor and the MLT324 SpO₂ Wrap Sensor are also available separately.

Applications:

The MLT325 Base Sensor Pulse Oximetry Transducer is used to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) in well vascularized tissue of an animal such as tongue, paw pad or tail. Quick and easy to apply, it is ideal for spot checking and short-term continuous monitoring of SpO₂. Designed for applications where little transducer motion is expected.

Placing and securing the sensor examples:

• Can be applied to the rear or front feet, or to the ventral surface of the tail of a rat.
• Can be attached to the surface of an operating or imaging table and the foot simply taped in position over it. (best on a hard table or cradle with the animal in a prone position).
