The ADInstruments FE231 Bio Amp, FE232 Bio Amp, and Education series PowerLabs with built-in Bio Amps are shipped with a 3-lead and 5-lead Bio Amp cables. The 5-lead Bio Amp cables use an Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) 6-pin medical connector. All of these units use an electrically isolated differential input AC amplifiers with common isolated ground connections, and have a BF rating (body-protected equipment) certification for human use, which only applies when they are used with the Bio Amp cable we supply.
Any modification of the Bio Amp cable or using a customized cable will void the BF rating certification!
For a customized connection we recommend to use one of the multiple lead wires ADInstruments offers that connect to the Bio Amp cable:
- snap on
- alligator clip
- micro hook
- shielded Ag-AgCl biopotential electrodes
or the MLA1515 Bio Cable (Animal, Dual Bio to 5 Alligator Clips, 1m); however, this cable is only intended for use with non-human subjects.
