DEVICE: ANS1 Software (B322G0011)

An electrically-powered device designed to noninvasively measure blood pressure using a manually-inflated cuff that typically fits around a limb (arm or thigh). It typically displays current heart rate and mean arterial pressure in addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressures; it may have memory to store blood pressure values and may sound an alarm if blood pressure exceeds pre-set limits. This device is not designed to be portable and is typically used bedside.

An electronic instrument designed to determine a patient’s electrodermal activity (EDA) [also known as galvanic skin response (GSR), psychogalvanic reflex (PGR), skin conductance response (SCR)] by measuring the electrical conductance of the skin and the tissue path between electrodes placed on the surface of the body (e.g., hands, feet, head), whereby a small electrical current is typically applied. It is used to assess changes in psychophysiological indicators related to autonomic sympathetic activity and emotional states (e.g., fear, startle, pain); sudomotor dysfunction and subsequent reduced EDA have been associated with various conditions (e.g., neuropathy in diabetic patients).
