Cardiac Output Pod

The Cardiac Output Pod is used with high performance T-type thermocouples for the determination of cardiac output in small animals (mice, rats, guinea pigs or rabbits) using the thermodilution technique. The Cardiac Output Pod has a 'delta' temperature mode to allow a signal offset to be applied and therefore allow small temperature variations to be monitored accurately. This unit is for use in the determination of cardiac output in animals ONLY.

Configuration:

The ML313 Cardiac Output Pod is available with or without a T-type thermocouple. When purchased with the thermocouple, the MLT1402 T-type Ultra Fast Thermocouple Probe is supplied.

Thermocouple options:

Any T-type thermocouple can be used with the ML313 Cardiac Output Pod, however, we recommended the MLT1402 T-type Ultra Fast Thermocouple Probe with a fast response time of 0.005 seconds, which is ideal for the thermodilution method. Other T-type thermocouples are also available. This Cardiac Output Pod is available with or without this Ultra Fast Probe.

Data Analysis:

To facilitate accurate and fast determinations of cardiac output the Cardiac Output Module (Win only) for LabChart is also available for purchase.

Accessories:

To facilitate the measurement of cardiac output from small animals (rats, guinea pigs and mice) the MLA313 Cardiac Output Accessory Kit can be purchased separately.
