Photo Plethysmogram Amplifier

Description

The PPG100C Photoplethysmogram Amplifier records the pulse pressure wave and provides an indication of blood pressure, blood density or vasoconstriction. Front panel controls allow selection of either absolute or relative plethysmographic measurements.

The PPG100C couples to a photoplethysmogram (PPG) transducer (TSD200 or TSD200C*) to record the Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) waveform via optical (photoplethysmogram) methods.

The PPG100C also has the capability to interface to a wide range of commercially available optical probes. Specifically, optical transducers for SpO₂ can easily be used with the PPG100C, via the TCIPPG3 snap on interface.

The PPG100C is part of a complete research system, interfacing with the MP200 data acquisition and analysis platform and AcqKnowledge software, allowing advanced analysis for multiple applications and supporting acquisition of a broad range of signals and measurements. For PPG with MRI applications, see PPG100C-MRI.
