Artifact-free ECG with the Solid Tip Lead |
Virtually eliminate muscle noise and movement
artifact from large animal ECG signals by
monitoring using a D70 transmitter with Solid
Tip Lead.
The surgical technique involves placing two electrodes. The positive electrode is placed on the diaphragm near the apex of the heart. The negative lead is inserted into jugular vein and the Solid Tip is advanced into the superior / cranial vena cava. The resulting ECG resembles a lead II morphology with higher amplitude components and virtually no artifact. And all of this is done without fluoroscopy, without a thoracotomy, and without placing anything directly onto or into the heart!
Key Benefits
Ideal for use in a large animals weighing at least 2.5 kgs such as beagles, non-human primates and swine with the following advantages:
- More useable data compared with subcutaneous ECG
- Negligible movement artifact and morphology changes
- Higher signal to noise ratio
- Little to no baseline wander
- Greater statistical power
- Well-defined waveform features
- Improved interval detection
- Consistent results
- Minimally invasive procedure
- No need for a thoracotomy
- Proven methodology
- Similar technique used in millions of cardiac pacing
patients, but without the need for fluoroscopy - Omit advancing electrode into chambers of the heart
Product Features
The Solid Tip Lead can be added to select D70-PCT, D70-CCTP, D70-PCTP, and D70-PCTR transmitters – new or exchanged devices. The solid tip and modified lead jacket enables the following:
- Simple, atraumatic delivery of electrode to the vena cava.
- Long-term residence in blood flow without negative effects
The Solid Tip Lead is constructed from high quality, clinical grade material
The surgical technique was designed to achieve a morphology
similiar to lead II without a thoracotomy.
