Conscious Animal Preparation
1 Place the corresponding CODA NIBP Rodent Holder on the infrared
warming pad. You can use the disposable warming pad covers to
prevent soiling the warming pad.
2 Place both RightTemp sensors (pad and body temperature probes)
beneath the rodent holder. Secure the sensors if necessary.
3 Allow the rodent to freely enter the CODA NIBP Rodent Holder with
its tail extending beyond the hatch of the holder.
4 Slide the corresponding Occlusion Cuff and then Volume Pressure
Recording (VPR) Cuff onto the tail of the animal. They should fit
closely, but still be able to slide freely along the tail.
5 Place a blanket over the setup if required, ensuring that the animal
still has access to breathable air.
6 Allow the animal to acclimatize. Ensure that the animal has
acclimated to the holder and that the tail temperature has reached
35-37 degrees Celsius before taking any measurements.
Anesthetized Animal Preparation
1 Prepare the infrared warming pad. You can use the disposable
warming pad covers to prevent soiling the warming pad.
2 Place the anesthetized animal on the warming pad.
3 Place and secure the RightTemp pad sensor beneath the animal.
4 Insert the RightTemp body sensor into the rectum of the animal.
Secure the sensor if necessary.
5 Slide the corresponding Occlusion Cuff and then VPR Cuff onto the
tail of the animal. They should fit closely, but still be able to slide
freely along the tail.
