Product catalog summary
Overview
Data Sciences International (DSI) provides implantable telemetry devices for continuous, real-time in vivo physiologic monitoring in animal models. These devices allow for stress-free data collection, reduce the number of animals needed for studies, and decrease maintenance costs.

Advantages of Telemetry
DSI's PhysioTel™ implants enable data acquisition from conscious, freely moving animals, minimizing stress and infection risks. They support various species, including mice, rats, dogs, and non-human primates, and measure a range of physiologic signals such as pressures, biopotentials, blood glucose, respiration, temperature, and activity.

Implant Models
  • Rodent Implants: Designed for small animals like mice, these implants feature auto-calibration, dynamic battery life updates, and Animal ID for data security.
  • Small Implants: Suitable for species like rats and guinea pigs, offering a wide range of physiologic endpoint options.
  • Large Implants: Used for larger animals such as non-human primates and dogs, these implants are ideal for chronic physiologic monitoring and safety pharmacology studies.


Technical Specifications
DSI provides detailed specifications for each implant model, including pressure, biopotential, respiratory rate, temperature, activity, battery life, weight, and volume. The implants are designed with features like solid state pressure sensors and biocompatible catheters for high fidelity signal acquisition.

DSI Exchange Program
DSI offers an exchange program for used telemetry implants, allowing customers to replace devices at a reduced cost. This program ensures high performance and quality while reducing study costs.

About DSI
DSI is a leader in physiologic monitoring, offering solutions for pharmaceuticals, academia, contract research organizations, and more. Their products facilitate informed drug therapy and development decisions.

Future Developments
DSI plans to introduce the PhysioTel Digital CNS Implant in 2018, targeting disorders such as sleep, seizure, affective, movement, and neurodegenerative disorders.
