Admittance based Pressure-Volume Control Units

Pressure-Volume Control Unit - ADVantage^TM
The Scisense ADVantage™ pressure-volume control unit is a state-of-the-art admittance-based volume measurement system. It is the first technology to output true volumes in real-time. The ADVantage PV Loop system has been designed with a variable gain system to work with all sizes of hearts. A powerful onboard microprocessor manages the real time pressure and volume signals and outputs them as analog signals through standard BNC connectors, assuring compatibility with all commercial data acquisition systems.
