ANI Sensor V1 / ANI Sensor V2
The ANI calculation is based on the RR intervals variability of ECG. The ANI Monitor V1
being not an ECG monitor, the electrodes have been designed to retrieve information related
to QRS complex. The acquisition of a cardiac vector is enough to get an ANI calculation.
The electrodes are composed of a device in two parts: a dual sensor and a single sensor
connected together by an electrical thread (figure 2).
The sensor itself is divided into two areas. One of them is an adhesive area and the other one,
the active area, is covered with conductive gel (figure 3).
