The Sapphire ECG system is a single channel (Lead II) ECG telemetry system designed for the monitoring and diagnostic investigation of animals.
Data is transmitted from a small transmitter worn by the animal to a USB-powered receiver, delivering real-time data directly into your PC or laptop. ECG data is at full diagnostic quality suitable for a cardiac work-up or research purposes.

The Sapphire system is designed for use in the following situations:
1) Post-op monitoring, e.g equine colic or gastric dilatation in dogs
2) Anaesthetic monitoring - either to a patient-side laptop or to a centralised monitoring station
3) Real-time ambulatory monitoring/Holter monitoring for investigation of ECG abnormalities
4) Tread mill investigations

The fully featured Windows software allows ECG's to be recorded directly to the hard drive of a PC or laptop. Events can be marked on the ECG as they happen as an aid to interpretion later. The software has alarms for high and low heart rates and automatically displays a heart rate trend graph. ECG parameter measurement is simple and quick by means of a mouse and ECG segments can be printed or copied to clipboard.

The Sapphire ECG System combines all the elements of a diagnostic quality ECG unit with the features of a sophisticated ECG monitor, all in a small 30g package.
