Features

Features

  • Noninvasive physiological monitor. Measure up to 7 physiological parameters without invasive surgical procedures
  • Monitor anesthetized and conscious subjects. Special sensors and software modules allow you to monitor both anesthetized & conscious subjects.
  • Measure arterial saturation, heart rate, breath rate and more
  • Measures heart rates of 90 – 900 bpm
  • Monitor up to 16 subjects. Utilizing a multiplexer, you can sequentially monitor up to 16 individuals one-at-a-time, using one Mouseox.
  • MRI compatible (with MRI sensor)
  • Analog output of pulse waveform. Outputs the raw pulse waveform for input into other data acquisition systems.

MouseOx Plus parameters

  • Arterial saturation – the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in mice, rats, and other small animals
  • Heart rate – able to measure small animals with heart rates of 90 – 900 bpm
  • Breath rate – provides breathing rate using the same sensor
  • Pulse Distension – change in arteries at the Sensor site due to a heart beat
  • Breath distension – change in arteries at the sensor site sue to breathing
  • Temperature – monitor subject core body temperature using the temperature probe
  • Activity – monitoring gross motion of a subject over a period of time
