DECRO® Telemetry

DECRO®, the Telemetric Jacket for laboratory animals, from small to large

A non-invasive solution to monitor easily and rapidly the physiological functions of freely-moving, socially-housed animals (from 1 to 8 simultaneously)

DECRO® is the next generation telemetric device to monitor cardiac and respiratory function, specifically designed for small laboratory animals.

The solution is composed of a unique connected jacket embedding respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) sensors and protecting the ECG electrodes, a high-performance Bluetooth emitter and a plug & play, small footprint acquisition server, on which is executed our proprietary software.

Without surgery to a minimized stress and more relevant data

In preclinical research, animal welfare is a major foundation for relevant and high-quality data. Due to limited technology features in biomedical research, animal welfare can be impaired leading to poor-quality and irrelevant scientific data. Therefore, there is a growing interest in developing new technologies that are able to deliver satisfactory outcomes for both ethical and scientific needs in widely used species in biomedical research such as rats.

“Good animal welfare is not only ethically right, but is good science.”

Monitor simultaneously 3 biosignals of 1 single animal

  • Cardiaque: ECG electrodes
  • Respiratory: RIP sensors
  • Activity: Acceleration

Better consideration of animal welfare and 3Rs guidance

  • No anesthesia, no post-surgery recovery (refine)
  • Freely-moving animals in their housing-cage
  • More parameters from a single animal (reduce)
