Smart Sensor (SS) electrodes and transducers connect to the TEL100M-C amplifier/transmitter and can generally resord biopotientials and other signals for up to 24 hours. Most commonly, the SS17 is used to measure heart sounds or Korotkoff sounds. When the SS17 signal is recorded along with the TSD120 blood pressure cuff signal, the Korotkoff sounds vividly mark the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The SS17 can also record the sounds associated with rubbing or grinding (e.g., Bruxism). To listen to the physiological sounds with headphones as they are recorded, pipe the SS17 signal through the STM100C stimulator module. The acoustical transducer element is a piezo-electric ceramic disk, which is bonded to the interior of a metallic circular housing.
Specifications mirror the TSD108 transducer.
