Using refined noise-reduction hardware (digital processing) and a unique patented software algorithm (SAC™), the V3402 is able to look at pulse oximetry data in a whole new way. This technology analyzes a digital signal at a rate of 120 times per second, and compares it to previous pulse data. These pulses are constantly stored, updated, and used as dynamic templates to determine the validity or invalidity for newly encountered pulsatile signals. The new V3402 digital hand held oximeter offers advanced pulse oximetry specifically for animal applications. The V3402 offers advanced digital signal analysis to a wide range of user-customizable features. Two user-selectable averaging modes are available, visual and audible indicators for SpO2 and pulse rate, an 8 segment LED bar indicator for pulse strength as well as high and low limit adjustable alarms for SpO2 and pulse rate. Low priority alarms warn the user of system setup malfunctions such as a disconnected probe. The audible indicators and alarms vary in rate and pitch to indicate changes in pulse rate and SpO2 level, respectively.
Animal IDs from 0-99 are used by the V3402 to delineate multiple animal data measurements. An optional serial printer, BS4 72-3173, can be used to output animal trend data either as it is collected (data log mode) or from stored data. The V3402 can store up to 90 hours of trend data for up to 99 individual animals. The trend storage interval is user selectable from 4-30 seconds. Output of data to a computer requires the use of BS4 72-3166 printer interface cable and BS4 72-3155 PC adapter cable. The V3402 Pulse Oximeter comes with an instruction manual, BS4 72-3193 protective rubber boot, BS4 72-3254 small reflectance probe and the BS4 72-3256 small to medium Y-Clip probe. The unit is powered by six ‘AA’ alkaline batteries. An optional AC adapter is available. Other pulse oximeter probes and accessories are available.
