Heart Rate sensor

Heart Rate sensor

Item nr. BT48i Category
This Heart rate sensor provides a simple way to study the heart’s function. Unlike an electrocardiograph (EKG), which monitors the electrical signal of the heart, this sensor monitors the flow of blood through the veins. The (included) cardio clip consists of a small infrared LED, which illuminates the tissue and a light sensitive detector, which detects the amount of light transmitted from the tissue. (for example ear lobe or fingertip)

Available on backorder (Shipping in 2–3 weeks)
