System Configuration & Extensions

Basic System | Non-invasive Telemetry extension

Basic System

A typical setup includes:

Implants
receivers: 1 receiver is required for up to 4 easyTEL+ implants
an ethernet switch, between the receivers and the LAN or computer
smartTOOL (optional, for implant detection, configuration and sleep mode)
an acquisition computer.

A single ethernet cable provides power and data transmission between the receiver and computer. Cameras can be added for synchronized video recording.

Non-invasive Telemetry extension

easyTEL+ can be combined with the non-invasive emkaPACK4G system, on the
same platform. It can be beneficial when lung volumes need to be recorded.

An implant manager is connected to the emkaPACK4G transmitter, to acquire
non-invasive and implanted endpoints on the same platform:

From emkaPACK4G, non-invasively record:

Single and multi-lead ECG
Respiration from one or two inductance belts
3-axis acceleration to assess activity

From easyTEL+ implant, acquire:

Blood pressure
Core temperature
