Discover our range of advanced fully implantable telemetry transmitters, designed for high-performance monitoring of ECG, EEG, EMG, sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), temperature, and blood pressure. These transmitters, compatible with large and small animal models, feature a robust medical-grade silicone coating and patented inductive energy transfer for seamless recharging. With no need for battery replacements and high signal resolution, our systems offer reliable and uninterrupted data collection.

product range • ecg, eeg, emg, sampled at 2kHz. • sna (sympathetic nerve activity) sampled at 8kHz • temperature • pressure (arterial or venous blood, bladder, pleural), sampled at 500Hz
transmitter features (1/2) • fully implantable • covered with medical grade silicone • completely sealed, • with no battery to be replaced • transmission up to 5m • large and small animal models available
transmitter features (2/2) • designed to be reused in multiple animals • pressure leads are filled with gel that prevents blood from entering the catheter lumen • ecg cables are filled with a biocompatible silicone to avoid contamination
transmitters • 6 types of transmitters • 1 pressure • 1 pressure + 1 biopotential • 1 biopotential • 2 biopotential • 1 SNA + 1 pressure • 1 SNA + 1 biopotential • temperature is standard in all devices • transmitters can remotely be turned on and off • no need to enter the room and disturb the animals
chargers • implants are fitted with a rechargeable battery • recharging is performed through patented inductive energy transfer • measurement from the subject may continue while the implant is recharged • there are no costs or down times due battery replacements and refurbishments

implants for large animals can run up to 200 hours without recharging using the remote on/off feature, allow recording of 10mn every hour for more than 6 weeks long transmission range (5m) high signal resolution ability pair or group house animals
receivers • one receiver can acquire up to 12 transmitters • open system with analog outputs, compatible with all • data acquisition systems
misconceptions about inductive energy transfer • recharging causes an increase in tissue temperature • false: continuous temperature recordings remain stable whether charging is off or on
misconceptions about inductive energy transfer • recharging influences physiological parameters • false: recordings show that blood pressure, heart rate, ecg morphology, and eeg power spectrum remain stable independent of charging status • repeated recharging has long term consequences • false: experiments of more than 130 days, performed to verify pressure sensor stability, • concurrently verified stability of all other physiological parameters
sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) by telemetry • a challenging application • small signal amplitude (+/- 60µV) • high frequency • high sampling rate required
sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) by telemetry • TR system provides • 8kHz sampling rate • integrated output with: • adjustable gain • adjustable integrator time constant • audio output
sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) by telemetry • electrodes and placement of electrodes
sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) by telemetry • sample SNA recording
