Blood Pressure sensor

Description

The Blood Pressure sensor consists of:

• A pressure sensor with measurement range between 0 .. 375 mmHg
• A standard adjustable blood pressure cuff (size: 24 cm to 35 cm)
• A bulb pump with a control valve

The blood pressure cuff consists of an inflatable bladder connected by one hose to a hand pump bulb and by a second hose to the pressure sensor box. The user can set the rate of cuff deflation manually with the control valve.

Technical specifications:

• Measurement range: 0 .. 375 mmHg
• Resolution: 0.1 mmHg
• Maximum measurement frequency: 100 kHz (CoachLab II+, WiLab) / 1 MHz (VinciLab 2)
• Warranty: 3 years

All technical specifications of the sensor are descibed in the product manual, see downloads.

The following biology experiments can be performed with the Blood pressure sensor:

• Measure blood pressure before and after exercise and while sitting or standing
• Compare blood pressure after voluntary isometric contractions (weight lifting) and a rhythmic activity such as running or biking
• Study the effect of caffeine on blood pressure.

The Blood Pressure sensor can be directly connected to the analog BT inputs of the CMA interfaces.
Attention: The sensor cable BT – IEEE1394 needed to connect the sensor to an interface is not supplied with the sensor and has to be purchased separately (BTsc_1 or BTsc_1Short).
