Bandwidth Hz kHz

The frequency characteristic of a catheter is the ability to follow

pressure changes over time. The higher the HR the higher needs to

be the bandwidth of the catheter.


LVP signal in the frequency domain

HR = 320bpm = 5.3 Hz This amplitude spectrum shows which

catheter frequency would be necessary

for a accurate reproduction of a

ventricular pressure signal.

Higher frequency portions then the heart

frequency are seen due the non-

sinusoidal shape of the LVP signal


Catheter Frequency Characteristics

The frequency characteristic of

a catheter depends on material

and length.

The shorter the catheter the

higher the bandwidth

Empirically the bandwidth for

BP monitoring should be

5 times higher than the heart

frequency.

Charging Challenges

No defined distance between charger & implant.

Energy transmission creates heat

Impact on temperature monitoring

Impact on animal behavior

Impact on animal welfare

Electrical field can create disturbances

More artifacts in signal recording

Makes refurbishment not obsolete

Necessary exchanges of catheter & lead material

Recommended annual factory re-calibration


Battery Operation

Lifetime specified for continuous operation

Battery can be turn ON/OFF by a magnet,

Exchange by refurbishment procedure,

Advantages of Battery Devices:

Longer operation times without maintenance,

Known battery status,

Vendor warranted operation time,

No recharging required (impact on behavior and temperature)

No tissue irritations

Accurate temperature monitoring

Typical Battery Lifetime:

PA-C10 = 1.5month; CTA-F40 = 6 month; TA-F40 = 11month


What’s the max. sampling rate?

Limited by Carrier Frequency

Typically 5x transmitter bandwidth

Sampling rate can be increased by interpolation

Example:

TF50-W-F2 for Sympathetic Nerve Analysis (SNA)

Bandwidth: 1kHz

Sampling rate: 5kHz


Use of customized antennas

Transmission range restricted by energy consumption

Other influences on transmission ranges: Interferences

Metal shielding

Environmental noise
