Electrobioimpedance Smart Amplifier

Description

The Electrobioimpedance (EBI) Smart Amplifier is specifically designed to measure thoracic impedance for performing various impedance signals and may be used for any body impedance measurement, including respiration and cardiac output. The electrical bioimpedance amplifier terminates in two connectors for Magnitude of impedance (MAG) and Phase of Impedance (PHS), with Derived dZ/dt available as an optional calculation channel (enable “Show inverted ICG”); channel scaling can be employed to specify the dZ/dt polarity. Use with EL500 series disposable electrodes and LEAD131 for a four-spot electrode configuration or LEAD132 for an eight-spot electrode configuration; contact BIOPAC for use with ICG tape. Amplifier has a 3 m cable that connects directly to an AMI100D Amplifier Input Module.

BIOPAC’s new Smart Amplifiers are designed for great data. Smart Amplifiers improve performance by amplifying the physiological signal close to the subject, which allows a high-level voltage connection to the data acquisition system and reduces noise artifact.

AcqKnowledge Smart Amp setup includes guides and prompts to prevent errors. Plus, channels are automatically set to be plotted and included in input values display, with the initial visual range set to the min/max input range for that Smart Amplifier signal type, in appropriate units.

The Smart Amplifier may be attached to the subject either using the included Velcro backed clip or optional Velcro straps around the subject.
