Standalone Pulse Oximeter

CANL-425SV-A: Standalone Pulse Oximeter

This standalone pulse oximeter features a front-panel display that gives a continuous readout of heart rate and SpO₂. LED lights indicate a sensor alarm, signal out of track, artifact signal, and sensor disconnect. It is available with analog output for connection to a chart recorder or data acquisition system.

You have much invested in your valuable research animals in terms of time and money. For the welfare of these animals, your IACUC requires you to carefully measure depth of anesthesia during surgical procedures. Now you can go the extra mile to monitor important vital signs (heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation) in anesthetized animals undergoing surgical procedures. Veterinarians and IACUC members alike will be pleased with the measures you are taking to ensure adequate anesthesia levels during surgery.

Furthermore, many scientists have realized an increased demand for non-invasive methods for obtaining cardiovascular measurements in laboratory animals, such as rats and mice. With these considerations in mind, MED Associates has developed a veterinary quality pulse oximeter that allows researchers to obtain measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and heart rate in anesthetized animals using a non-invasive transducer applied to the surface of well-perfused tissue such as the base of the tail, or paw.

Non-invasive measurements of:

Arterial Oxygen Saturation (0-100%)
Heart Rate (18-450 beats per minute)

Accessories

Software for the Pulse Oximeter

For the ultimate in data acquisition, the standard configuration of the CANL-425SV allows the pulse oximeter to be connected to a USB port on a computer. Optional software is available that provides a visual chart recorder-like display of the arterial pulse tracing, heart rate, and SpO₂. Sensor indicators and audible alarms can be configured to alert the researcher that the sensor is disconnected, an artifact occurred, or that that heart rate or SpO₂ are out of a specified range (too high or too low). Data can be stored as ASCII text files for importing into graphing or statistics programs. For users who wish to record pulse oximetry data along with other signals, such as temperature, electrophysiological recordings, or other parameters using their own data acquisition system, we are proud to offer the CANL-425SV-A stand alone pulse oximeter. This product takes the CANL-425SV one step further by providing analog outputs for the plethysmogram (arterial pulse waveform), heart rate, and SpO₂. For labs that frequently perform surgeries, this pulse oximeter is the ideal tool for monitoring anesthesia levels during surgery. Applications include respiratory physiology, hypoxia, and surgical anesthesia monitoring.

Applications include

Respiratory Physiology
Hypoxia
Surgical Anesthesia Monitoring
