DETAILED INTRODUCTION
The MouseOX Plus is the second generation of the original pulse oximeter for mice and rats. The MouseOx Plus measures heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), breath rate, and temperature* of anesthetized & conscious mice and rats neonate-adult.
The MouseOx Plus is the second generation of the original pulse oximeter for mice, rats and other small animals. It is clinically validated and has been used and cited in a multitude of published studies.
- Noninvasive Physiological Monitor
- Monitor Anesthetized & Conscious Subjects
- Measure Arterial Saturation, Heart Rate, Breath Rate, Temperature & More
- Measures Heart Rates of 90 – 900 bpm
- Monitor Up To 16 Subjects
- MRI Compatible (with MRI sensor)
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
