volume-pressure sensor technology for accurate nibp measurements

The CODA™ 4 system is an acquisition system that can quickly perform simultaneous measurements non-invasively from the tail cuff of up to four animals without operator intervention (if required, the system software can be configured for the acquisition of up to 8 animals).

Six parameters are measured simultaneously: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, heart rate, tail blood flow and tail blood volume. Notably, the VPR sensor technology measures the actual diastolic blood pressure (other tail-cuff technologies use a light sensor to determine the diastolic blood pressure).

• controller with automatic inflation/deflation feature
• data acquisition software with automatic blood pressure measurements
• custom platform including an animal holder
• a specially designed pump to rapidly and automatically coordinate the occlusion cuff inflation and deflation cycles with the blood pressure signal acquisition.
