Specifications, performance and accuracy are valid for the warranted battery life and only when data are recorded using Dataquest™ A.R.T. with factory-supplied calibration values. Transmitters may work over wider ranges with reduced accuracy.
*An externally worn telemetry repeater is available to allow retransmission of the telemetry signals using multiple frequencies over a long range (3-10m). This also permits the use of smaller transmitter models in large animals. See our website for more details.
†Recommended catheter length for small animal LVP applications.
