Samba Preclin 420/360 transducer

The Samba Preclin pressure catheters are ultra-fast, high-precision transducers with excellent dynamic response for monitoring basically any type of physiological pressures - both in fluids and in gas.

Samba Preclin 420/360 transducer

Each transducer is calibrated at the factory and does not require any on-site calibration by the user - it's simply to Plug'n'Play!

The Samba Preclin transducer is available in four different pressure measurements ranges; one low pressure and three high pressure versions (see below).

The Samba Preclin transducers are not approved for human use.
