The STARR-Link is an Analog Data Output Module for the MouseOx Plus that converts the calculated parameters to an analog voltage output. The output voltage range is from 0 to 5 volts.

STARR-Link Analog Output Module Parameters

  • Arterial Oxygen Saturation – Percent oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin
  • Heart Rate – Pulse rate
  • Breath Rate – Derived from work of breathing affect on plethysmograph signal
  • Pulse Distension – Magnitude of distention of arterial blood vessels at the measurement site due to the cardiac output pulse (analogous to perfusion index)
  • Breath Distension – Magnitude of distention of the arterial blood vessels at the measurement site due to intra-thoracic pressure associated with breathing.
  • Temperature – From MouseOx® Plus temperature probe if present
  • Activity – Binary indicator of presence/absence of subject movement – Conscious Software option.
  • Subject Number – For use with Multiplexer
