The pulse signal level (heart rate) is continuously monitored on the LCD display while an internal pressure transducer is constantly measuring the current pressure applied on the cuff. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures are displayed after a series of automatic processes finish.
A warm environment is critical for accurate blood pressure measurement. For optimal conditions the Panlab Warming Chamber (76-1137) or the Automatic Heater & Scanner (76-0179) provides a comfortable heated environment. The requirement of a warm environment for the animals is critical for accurate blood pressure measurements. To provide adequate conditions for NIBP measurement, the system can be used in association with a warming chamber which provides a comfortable and heated environment necessary to produce peripheral vasodilatation and isolate the animal from external noise.
