Telemetry Implants - T27F Series, Cardiology / Urology

Fully Implantable Biotelemetry
 

General Information

Since the early 1970s, Konigsberg Instruments has developed a diverse mix of chronically implantable telemetry and sensor systems. They are designed to be permanently implanted within the body in order to facilitate many types of biometric monitoring and medical research.

These implant systems are the preferred way to measure biological signals free of catheter whip, motion artifact, or anesthesia on the research subject. These instruments offer the highest quality dynamic data in free roaming subjects obtainable from any chronically implantable measuring device. Their use virtually eliminates the deleterious effects of pain, stress and confinement on the experimental results.

Subjects may be colony or group housed, and the implants provide reliable signals in enclosures up to four meters3 in size.

Technical Specifications: T27 Series, 2 Pressure, Resp, ECG & Temp Separate Encoder & Battery Modules

The T27 series implant will transmit up to 5 channels of high-fidelity biometric signals. This encoder will transmit two Pressure channels, Respiration, ECG and Core Temperature. Fewer sensors may be used at customer request. An RF Wand is used to turn the implants on, and off when not in use. Each T27 implant is factory tuned to a discrete transmit frequency, and up to twenty transmitters may be used simultaneously in the same area without interference.
