The Digi-Med Sinus Rhythym Analyzer (SRA-400) is a compact digital instrument which simultaneously analyzes for 12 key parameters of the electrical activity of the heart in laboratory animals. It can be used as a stand-alone single unit, typically with an otional thermal printer, or combined with other instruments in integrated PC-based monitoring systems. Information is instantaneously analyzed, displayed on the SRA front panel and printed and/or sent to the computer, ready for interpretation with no further post-experimental analysis needed. The unit contains outputs for connection to a computer, analog recording device (optional), and/or thermal printer.



Millivolt ECG Signal

The SRA is connected to a three-electrode set to provide direct, highly accurate measurements in chronic or acute experiments.

It automatically samples the millivolt electrical signal from the leads attached to a research animal, and instantaneously analyzes the ECG waveform to derive 12 measures of heart electrical activity, helping define nomal activity and detect and quantitate the occurrence of heart arrythmias.



Histogram Graphs


When connected to a computer via the Digi-Med System Integrator, the SRA provides graphical histograms, visual representations of the frequency distribution of certain ECG variables. Three hisotgrams are maintained: All R-R Intervals, Normal R-R Intervals, and All QRS Durations.
