Attaching The Temperature Probe - SA Instruments 1030 Operation Manual

ERT Module
Attachment of the respiration pneumatic pillow sensor
Position the pneumatic pillow sensor near the animal's abdomen and secure it with tape
as shown in the photograph. Attach the sensor's tube to the ERT Module at the Leur
connection. It may be
necessary to use one of the Respiration Extension Tubes to make the connection.
The respiration circuit incorporates an automatic gain stage that adjusts the amplitude
of the respiration waveform within preset limits.
respiratory signals may take a few seconds to gain up and produce respiration gates
and a respiration rate.
The respiration waveform exhibits a negative peak during inspiration.
algorithm detects the negative peak and produces a respiration gate during the peak.
To gate on expiration, check the "invert" box for respiration in the GATING SETUP
window (refer to Chapter 3 and example waveforms in Appendix E).

Attaching the temperature probe

Use a lubricant or lubricated probe cover on the tip of the temperature probe before
inserting it into the rectum. Secure the probe lead by taping it to the animal's tail. The
temperature probe extension cable can be used when the ERT Module is near the
animal's head. Clean the temperature probe with isopropyl alcohol.
