CWE - Model BP-100 -Automated Direct Blood Pressure Monitor for Rats
The BP-100 Automated Direct Blood Pressure Monitor by CWE Inc. is a specialized device designed for precise and continuous measurement of blood pressure in research settings, specifically for use with rats. It incorporates standard clinical-type BP transducers, included with the unit, to measure systolic, diastolic, and mean pressures, along with heart rate monitoring. This monitor is equipped with an automated transducer zeroing feature and customizable high and low-pressure alarms for enhanced accuracy and reliability. For data management, it offers a serial data output for remote collection and analog voltage outputs compatible with data acquisition systems. It updates computed measurements every 2.5 seconds, ensuring real-time data accuracy. Additionally, its fast mode enables continuous pressure reading updates, making it versatile as a general-purpose transducer amplifier for recording various physiological signals beyond arterial pressure.

The BP-100 is a complete direct BP monitor that uses standard, widely available clinical-type BP transducers (included with unit). The standard systolic, diastolic, and mean pressures are reported, along with heart rate (HR).
The BP-100 features automated operation, including push-button transducer zeroing. High and low-pressure alarms are user-adjustable. A serial data output is provided for remote data collection. Analog voltage outputs for continuous signal, systolic, diastolic, and HR are compatible with data acquisition systems. All computed measurements are updated every 2.5 seconds. A special fast mode can be selected, where the pressure reading is continuously updated. This mode allows the BP-100 to be used as a general-purpose transducer amplifier for recording signals other than arterial BP.
