Implantable Sensors - Transit Time Blood Flow
Application Information
In the early 1990s, Konigsberg Instruments teamed with Triton Technology, Inc. and Data Integrated Scientific Systems (DISS) to create hardware and software capable of monitoring continuous blood flow in chronically implanted, conscious and fully ambulatory research subjects.
These sensors are the preferred way to measure Blood Flow free of catheter whip, motion artifact, and especially the effects of anesthesia or confinement on the research subject. These instruments offer the highest quality dynamic data obtainable from any chronically implantable measuring device. Their use virtually eliminates the deleterious effects of pain and stress on the experimental results.
These sensors are purpose-built to the customer’s requirements. They will interface to Triton’s System 6 instrumentation amplifiers and to Konigsberg Instruments’ Biotelemetry encoders.
Application Information - Transit Time Blood Flow
Konigsberg Instruments presently utilizes a line of chronically implantable Transit Time Blood Flow Cuffs that are manufactured by Triton Technology, Inc. They may be used to measure blood flow in the Aorta, Pulmonary Artery, Coronary Arteries, and Renal Blood Flow and for similar measurements. These devices may be used with Triton Technology System 6 hard-wired signal conditioners as well as Konigsberg Instruments line of wireless backpack telemetry equipment. DISS provides GI data acquisition and analysis software, development and support, and manages demonstrations, quotations and sales for Triton Technology and the Integrated Telemetry System (ITS) product line.
