Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information about the Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer developed by IITC Inc. Life Science. This device is designed to assess mechanical allodynia and sensory thresholds using rigid tips and patented "Supertips™" flexible Von Frey hairs.

Specifications
The system allows up to three probes to be connected to a single unit, enabling multiple users to conduct various studies simultaneously. It features an LCD readout for displaying results and offers probes with different weight capacities (90, 800, and 1000 grams). The device is equipped with microprocessor electronics and provides optional analog output.

Features
  • MRI Probe availability
  • Independence from hygroscopy and temperature
  • Customizable pipette tips
  • Limit indicator for presetting maximum force limits

Supertips™
The "Supertips™" are unique for their uniform tip diameter of 0.8mm, which eliminates false readings caused by varying hair thickness. This feature ensures consistent and comparable results across different tests.

Advantages
The system eliminates issues related to the hygroscopic nature of traditional von Frey hairs, which can significantly alter force readings due to humidity changes. The electronic readout provides accurate force measurements, making the up-down method of finding thresholds unnecessary.

Additional Information
The device comes with a one-year warranty and operates on 120/240V power. It is CE certified and offers a battery life of 50 hours without using a line adapter.

Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer The original Electronic von Frey to assess mechanical allodynia with rigid tips (threshold) & "Supertips™" flexible Von Frey hairs for sensory test on all test subjects. The 2390 series enables researchers to plug up to 3 probes into a single unit. Multiple users have the ability to use one single unit for multiple studies. Our system is the first system introduced to the market over 9 years ago which finally allows researchers the ability to test and automatically record pain threshold values in a clean, accurate easy to use compact system. The systems are supplied with either a 90, 800 or 1000 gram probe. Probe type is determined by test subject. When studies call for pain threshold, rigid tips are used when measuring sensory threshold one of the 15 Supertips™ are used. The IITC hairs are unique in design - each hair has a uniform tip of .8mm in diameter, eliminating the possibility of false readings that may occur due to the varying hair thickness when applied to test subject. The systems will allow you to measure, store and display your test readings in grams based upon the amount of pressure applied. Manually calculating results is no longer required with the IITC system. Testing is simple, choose one of the supplied tips place on the unit will display and store your reading in grams, an easy, quick test system for all pain studies. An internal load cell is attached to the small tip, this is the central element in the system; which connected to the electronic system allows you digitally record your test results. All EVF systems are calibrated at the factory and do not require any type of constant calibration, adjustment or separate calibrator to be purchased. Our system is an easy, user friendly system which was developed to replace the traditional hairs but at the same time enabling researchers to not only test sensory but pain threshold in one system.
