emkaBELT module - to measure respiration non-invasively

The emkaBELT module measures respiratory parameters in large subjects such as dogs, primates and pigs. It is based on respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP), a proven method for quantitative and qualitative non-invasive respiratory measurements.

One or two belts are placed around the subject's thorax and/or abdomen. Only one belt is required for measuring lung volume; the second belt, if used, measures the thorax-abdomen phase difference, a surrogate marker of airway resistance.

Two versions are available:

• standard emkaBELT module - fitted inside the emkaPACK)
• external emkaBELT module - connects to the emkaPACK.

Calibration is straightforward and rapid when using the dedicated module in ecgAUTO.

The external module may be used to increase recording time (because it has its own power supply - 2 AA/R6 batteries).

emkaPACK with tail cuff

nibp module - to measure blood pressure non-invasively

The nibp O.P.T. (oscillometric pressure telemetry) module measures blood pressure using the well-established principle of blood flow occlusion with an air-filled cuff. nibp is analyzed using powerful proprietary detection algorithms.

Measured parameters are systolic and diastolic blood pressure, amplitude mean blood pressure and heart rate.

It is supplied with the cuff and software to configure nibp (maximum inflation pressure, number of inflation-deflation cycles per train…).

> is it feasible to measure blood pressure non-invasively in ambulatory animals?

skin temperature thermocouple

skin temperature thermocouple

The thermocouple for measuring skin temperature is factory-calibrated and temperature-compensated.

t-PRESS module

t-PRESS module - blood pressure with a VAP (vascular access port)

The t-PRESS module is used in combination with a subcutaneously implanted vascular access port (vap) to measure blood pressure.

Please note that emka TECHNOLOGIES does not supply the vap.
