Finometer

The newest addition to Richmond Pharmacology's sophisticated range of technologies is the highly accurate and reliable blood pressure measuring device, the Finometer. This device not only allows continuous measurement of blood pressure in a thorough and scientific manner, but also stores information and converts it into a range of user friendly formats enabling accurate analysis of the waveform. The impact this type of technology has on clinical studies is considerable; we now provide rapid, wide ranging and definitive analysis of the effect of drugs on arterial blood pressure.

The instrument includes Beatscope PC-based software and allows almost complete non-invasive characterisation of the arterial circulation and its beat-to-beat variability in pressure and flow. The Finometer is able to measure systolic, diastolic and true mean arterial pressure, heart rate, interbeat interval, left ventricular ejection time, stroke volume, cardiac output, systemic peripheral resistance and a time-tension index.
