MODEL 1010 PIEZOELECTRIC
PULSE TRANSDUCER
545 Main Street, Suite C-2

Introduction
Piezo-electric transducers convert physical activity
such as changes in force or pressure into an
electrical signal. The Model 1010 transducer is a
piezo-electric transducer designed for wide ranging
applications in the life sciences. These applications
include:
•
sensing and recording peripheral pulse in
the finger;
•
measuring carotid pulse;
•
recording throat excursions from swallowing;
•
monitoring Korotkoff sounds;
•
monitoring heart sounds;
•
use as a small-animal pulse and respiration
transducer;
•
monitoring vibrations; and
•
counting liquid drops for titrations
Step-by-step instructions are provided below for the
first five of these applications.
For any force to be measured, there must be an
opposing force against which it acts. For the Model
1010, a VELCRO® strap usually imposes this
counter-force. The Model 1010 may also be
attached with a rubber chest strap or adhesive tape.
