BioNomadix Wireless Cardiac Output Amplifier

Description

The Wireless NICO BioNomadix module consists of a matched transmitter and receiver pair for noninvasive cardiac output measurements. The combined pair is specifically designed to measure impedance magnitude and derivative of impedance, for the purposes of beat-by-beat impedance, stroke volume and cardiac output measurements.

The Wireless NICO BioNomadix module is part of a complete research system solution. These amplifiers interface with the MP200 (or older MP160/MP150) data acquisition and analysis platform and AcqKnowledge software, allowing advanced analysis for multiple applications.

Impedance Magnitude (Z) and Derivative of Impedance (dZ/dt) signal data is transmitted at a rate of 2,000 Hz, providing high resolution cardiac impedance waveforms at the receiver module’s output. Raw data from the module pair is bandlimited from DC to 50 Hz* for both the Z and dZ/dt signals, to provide for a sufficiently rapid response impedance measurement without compromising the impedance signal with corrupting EMG or other artifact. Additional internal lowpass optional filters provide for improved amplification of Z and dZ/dt signals, depending upon ambient conditions.
