Per Millar's Instructions For Use (IFU) for the Mikro-Tip and Ventri-Cath catheters, it is recommended to disconnect the Mikro-Tip catheter from all electronics prior to defibrillation or electrosurgery. Failure to do so could result in damage to the...
How do I reduce noise that is appearing on the volume segments of the Millar MPVS Ultra?
Electrical interference may be caused by other pieces of equipment (ECG Leads, Stimulators, Power Cables, etc.) that are connected to or near the animal during the experiment. Initially, try removing these peripheral electrodes/devices to determine...
Often, when LabChart and the Video Capture Module encounter this type of error, it is because the video device is being utilized by another software. Many DirectShow compatible video cameras and capture cards come with their own Video Capture...
Single-segment PV catheters use a single pair of excitation electrodes with the positive electrode located at the proximal end of the measurement area and the negative electrode located at the distal end of the measurement area to generate an...
By default the Trigno wireless EMG systems are shipped with all sensors appropriately paired. However, it is possible to pair multiple sensors to one sensor position, for example sensors 1 and 5 can be paired to "sensor 1" in the Trigno Control...
Delsys devices such as the Trigno Wireless EMG System, are not designed to be used with stimulation devices. The fundamental performance issue is the amplitude of the detected stimulus as recorded by the sensor. An amplitude at the recording site...
When recording EMG and / or Accelerometer data from a Delsys Wireless EMG system with a PowerLab, use the following Settings and Unit Conversion values within LabChart: Sampling Rate: 2000/s Range: 5V For EMG: 0mV = 0mV 909mV = 1mV (The reason for...
What is a LabChart buffer file?
LabChart buffer files are temporary files that store information about data and settings in case the computer crashes. After a crash, these files are automatically reloaded (when re-opening LabChart) to restore previously lost data. LabChart for...
Can Delsys EMG Sensors be used on animals?
Yes. Many studies and applications have successfully employed Delsys EMG sensors and systems on animals. Be sure to correctly identify appropriate muscle sites and remove all fur/hair prior to applying the sensors. Wipe the site carefully with...
What PowerLab models are supported by LabChart 8?
The following PowerLab models are supported by LabChart 8: PowerLab 15T All 20-series PowerLabs All 25-series PowerLabs All 26-series PowerLabs All 30-series PowerLabs All 35-series PowerLabs All C-series PowerLabs Please note that the PowerLab /SP...
What do the various Beat Marker colors represent in HRV 2.0?
The Beat Marker colors in HRV 2.0 are used to classify Normal, Ectopic, and Unused beats: Blue = Normal beats that fit into the RR Interval and Beat Complexity defined in the HRV Settings. Gray = Unused beats. For instance, the first two beats that...
The digital Output found on the rear of some PowerLab models, is unable to receive signals from a device using a digital communication standard at this time. If the digital device in question also has analog outputs for the desired signals, it is a...
Is it possible to connect a single segment PV catheter to the P2 input of the MPVS Ultra unit?
Yes, you can connect the low profile connector of the single segment PV catheter (and any Mikro-Tip® pressure catheter) to the PEC-10D interface cable to obtain the pressure signal of that catheter. Connecting it to P2 will input the signal to the...
The Equivital Life Monitor can measure the following parameters as standard: 2 leads of ECG – Heart Rate, Interbeat interval Respiration Rate and Effort – Via thoracic expansion of the chest Skin Temperature – via infrared temperature sensor of the...
How can I achieve constant pressure in Langendorff Mode on my Radnoti Isolated Heart System?
A constant pressure is set using gravity and the elevation of the Aortic Bubble Trap Compliance chamber. 1mmHg = 13.6mm water. Typically 1 meter of elevation is recommended. If you are having difficulty with setting and maintaining a constant...
What training resources are available from ADInstruments?
ADInstruments provides several resources for training and support. The links below describe the various training options. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can help you as you get started with your ADInstruments equipment. Training Videos We...
All expressions in the Arithmetic Channel Calculation feature are evaluated by first converting any source data from a channel into un-prefixed units (e.g. if the source channel is in mV, it is converted to V by dividing by 1000). The original unit...
Yes, this is possible. The primary application for Millar Mikro Tip Pressure Transducers is the measurement of blood pressure, and all Millar pressure catheters have a linear range of -50 mmHg to 300 mmHg. However, Millar pressure catheters also have...
Can I use the GLP Client without the GLP Server?
It is not possible to use the GLP Client without the Server. Whilst the GLP Client and GLP Server are sold separately, one copy of the GLP Server runs multiple copies of the GLP Client within a network. It is important that each computer is...
What can be done to optimize EEG recording for alpha waves in the EEG Student Protocol?
There are a few things that can be done to optimize the settings for EEG recording in cases where the quality of the EEG recording might be suffering. One problem that can occur with EEG recording will be a wandering baseline, or movement of the EEG...
