AI6

The AI6 Arterial Inflow System is an integrated system that will perform venous occlusion plethysmography just the way you want it. You no longer need to manually control the instruments. It provides an integrated capability for acquiring two channels of SPG inflow data, an invasive monitor and triggering of automatic inflate/deflate cycles with the capacity for an infinite number of readings to be taken and analyzed.

Standard measurements of arterial inflow with and without reactive hyperemia are included. You only need to choose the time for measurements and the frequency with which they should be made. Separate measurement stages (with pauses between stages), and programmable cuff inflation and deflation times are included.

In addition to arterial inflow, the AI6 software has a programmable open format. Custom protocols can be set in a table, specifying which parameters to record along with cuff inflation pressures and times. The plethysmographs and inflators are completely controlled by the computer and software which are included in the AI6.

AI6 Parameters include:
  • Two channels of calibrated strain gauge plethysmography 
  • One invasive arterial pressure line 
  • One ECG Amplifier. The cuff inflation is synchronized with the patient's heartbeat. 
  • Two programmable cuff inflators, for inflation of 4 cuffs to 2 separate pressures. 
  • One inflator has two outputs so reactive hyperemia can be performed on one limb independently. 
  • One auxiliary analog input for measurement of an extra parameter

The AI6 comes with the equipment and accessories you'll need to perform most bloodflow tests. These include:

  • Computer with the latest Pentium processor, running Windows XP
  • AI6 Windows based control software.
  • 17 Inch flat panel monitor.
  • Windows compatible color DeskJet printer.
  • Custom instrument cart with latching drawer, 4 inch castors, and a side mounted hook for hose storage.
  • RT2000 ECG amplifier with 3 snap style leads. Startup ECG electrodes are provided.
  • Invasive pressure input, compatible with Utah Medical Deltran transducers.
  • Two large gauge corrugated hoses for rapid cuff inflation.
  • One medium diameter hose for connection to arterial occlusion cuffs (typically used for occlusion of the wrists or ankles).
  • Full set of 22 strain gauges for the forearm and calf.
  • Cuffs for leg and arm measurements.

  • PAK 8 positioning aid kit.
