Millar Pressure Interfaces
Overview
Millar offers two-channel amplifier/interface units to support either animal research or human pressure applications.
Animal Models
The Millar Pressure System (MPS-2000) acts as an interface between either one dual-pressure, or two single-pressure Mikro-TipTM pressure catheters, an Instrument Interface and LabChart analysis software option.
Human Applications
The Pressure Signal Conditioner1 (PCU-2000) is designed to connect one or two Mikro-CathTM pressure catheters2 to an Instrument Interface and LabChart analysis software option in a clinical research environment where patient isolation is required (human use only).
Required Products for either option:
- To connect each of the pressure outputs to the Instrument Interface inputs, two BNC to Audio plugs (6.5 mm (1/4"), 2m) need to be purchased separately.
- Millar pressure catheters also require a Viking connector or low-profile connector Interface Cable for use with either Millar Pressure Interface option.
1 This Pressure Signal Conditioner is currently pending certification for clinical research applications in Great Britain / Europe. Please contact your nearest ADInstruments Representative for further information.
2Please note, the Mikro-CathTM Pressure Catheter is only available from ADInstruments in North America, Great Britain / Europe, and Australia regions for human use only. For more information about the Mikro-Cath® Pressure Catheter or to request a quote - please contact your nearest ADInstruments Representative.
Product Configurations
Pressure Signal Conditioner Unit (2 Channel)
The Pressure Signal Conditioner1 is a patient isolated two-channel amplifier/interface unit for connecting one or two Millar Mikro-Cath catheters to an Instrument Interface in a clinical research environment (human use). The pressure outputs have an output signal level of 1V/100 mmHg that is also compatible with any PowerLab.
Millar Pressure System (2 Channel)
The MPS-2000 Millar Pressure System is a two-channel amplifier/interface unit for connecting one dual or two single Millar Mikro-Tip pressure catheters, for ANIMAL RESEARCH applications only. It is CE approved and RoHS compliant. The unit provides two analog output signals that can be recorded by any Instrument Interface or PowerLab data acquisition system. To connect each of its pressure outputs to the PowerLab inputs, two MLAC12 BNC to Audio plug (6.5 mm (1/4"), 2m) need to be purchased separately. Millar pressure catheters require a PEC-10C (Viking) or PEC-10D (Low Profile) Catheter Interface Cables.

Details and Tech Specs
Technical
- Inputs (input channel 1 and input channel 2) are electrically isolated.
- The amplifier provides bridge excitation voltage, separate balance (zero) controls and lighted push buttons for electronic calibrations of 0, 25, 100 or 125 mmHg for both channels.
- Pressure outputs have a sensitivity of 1V/100mmHg
- The amplifier provides bridge excitation voltage, separate balance (zero) controls and lighted push buttons for electronic calibrations of 0, 25, 100 or 125 mmHg for both channels.
- Allows selection of standby mode to verify zero and calibration.
- The output connectors are standard 1⁄4-inch phone jacks. Output cables are not provided.
