CLIPPER is a multi-channel diagnostic system design to do high resolution and high definition stationary recordings of pressure, pH, and Impedance



CLIPPER was designed to be utilized (inteded use) for high resolution examinations of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, small bowels, biliary ways, ano-rectum, colon).

CLIPPER is a system based on a PC where all the data are transmitted. The acquisition module ACQ-HR is a low power consumption device, powered directly from the USB port of the computer. 

The computer must be isolated from the main power supply line by a medical grade AC/DC isolation transformer.

It is compatible with several pressures, pH and Impedance high resolution catheters (or any combinations of these channels) up to the following maximum configuration:

– 40 Pressure Channels
– 16 Impedanche Channels
– 6 pH Channels


Software
The pressure values are displayed int contour mode, in conventional traces or a combination of the two.
The contour plot shows pressure encoded in color, the higher the prssure the greater the shift towards red.
Along the vertical axis it is represented the location of the channels while the horizontal axis shows the time.

The software carries out a quick and accurate analysis and computes the parameters defined by many authors and collected on the magazine Neurogastroenterology & Motility. Volum 24 Supplement, March 2012

the software applications for the different GI tracts (Esophageal, Anorectal, etc) have in common a great analysis flexibility in order to allow not only standard analysis but also customized ones for deeper investigations and research purposes.
