MARTA pad vital signs monitor
The MARTA pad is a groundbreaking, patented, contact-free monitoring system designed to measure vital signs without causing stress to animals or researchers. It is intended for surgical procedures where the animal is placed on its belly, for example for stereotaxic procedures.
The system continuously monitors heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature. Connection with rectal probe, enables working as a homeothermic device.
The system is dedicated for mouse, but using extension - MARTA frame can be used for bigger animal, like rat.
Continuous monitoring: Track vital signs such as heart rate and respiration rate continuously.
Heating pad functionality: Also functions as a heating pad, providing warmth and comfort to research subjects.
Anaesthesia depth regulation: Regulate anaesthesia depth, ensuring minimal stress for animals and robust outcomes.
Seamless integration: Integrates seamlessly with various equipment such as stereotactic frames and two-photon microscopes.
Full sterilisability: The MARTA pad is fully sterilisable for maximum hygiene.
Scalability: Monitor multiple animals simultaneously, accommodating the needs of large-scale experiments.
The MARTA pad meets the CE conformity 60601 standards for medical devices, ensuring high-quality and reliable performance.
Control of MARTA pad vital signs monitoring system
The MARTA app visualises current vital signs such as heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature. A virtual assistant supports user before, during, and after animal studies, reporting anomalies with an alarm signal. This help to better recognize and respond to animal distress, improving their wellbeing.
Seamless data collection: Visualise, collect, store, and export quantitative data with ease. The app allows you to gather high-quality monitoring data effortlessly, enhancing the efficiency of your research workflow.
Instant data analysis: Exported data (.csv file) is ready for immediate analysis, providing valuable insights quickly and efficiently.
Holistic data interpretation: Use the vital sign data to interpret research findings in a more multi-layered and holistic manner. This comprehensive approach allows you to enhance the impact and credibility of your research and implement your findings in high-tier journal publications.
Temperature regulation: Adjust the temperature of MARTA pad through the app for ideal temperature regulation for every animal, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing throughout your studies.
Customisable thresholds: Set your own thresholds for all vital signs, tailored to your specific study, animal, and anaesthesia protocol.
Real-time alerts: Quickly detect deviations from normal behavior to take immediate action and ensure animal safety.
Scalability: Monitor multiple animals simultaneously, accommodating the needs of large-scale experiments.
Secure and local storage: Sensitive research data is stored securely on our server infrastructure in Switzerland. The MARTA app also features two-step verification to enhance account and data security during sign-in.
