MPVS Ultra^® Signal Conditioning Hardware
Animal Use Only

MPVS Ultra Signal Conditioning Hardware
The MPVS signal conditioning hardware provides analog outputs of the time-varying left ventricular pressure and volume signals for data acquisition. The combined pressure and volume signals generate pressure-volume loops that allow calculation and analysis of a wide array of hemodynamic parameters.

MPVS Ultra Control Interface

The MPVS Ultra is the first and only pressure-volume system to be software-controlled. The user can manage catheter configuration, calibrate all signals, and measure conductivity and resistivity using the Rho cuvette with the graphical interface.

Catheter Configuration

To streamline studies, the user can select the appropriate catheter model from a preloaded list of catalog catheters or quickly create an entry for a custom model. Configurations can be saved and easily loaded for future studies. Dynamic adjustment of the number of active segments allows for an optimal volume signal in each procedure.

Catheter Calibration

The Catheter Calibration screen allows the user to electronically calibrate the pressure, volume, and ECG signals.

RHO Cuvette

Conductivity, resistivity, and the temperature of a blood sample are measured with one click.
