On-Site Expert Instruction: Kaha Telemetry
Expert hands-on instruction and mentorship to optimize and refine surgical techniques, telemetry equipment operation, and post-surgical monitoring.
Our Kaha Telemetry training is designed to maximize your laboratory’s use of implantable telemetry, ensuring accurate physiological measurements in conscious, freely moving small animals.
Structured to meet the specific needs of each research group, training is offered in both 1-day and 2-day formats and covers multiple approaches to arterial cannulation and other pressure catheterization, alongside strategies for comprehensive data collection and analysis. This ensures your team gains the proficiency needed to achieve high-quality results and maintain animal welfare standards.
This training program is built for Kaha Sciences and ADInstruments users.
Training Highlights:
- Convenient on-site instruction – our expert comes directly to your lab.
- Customizable course structure based on your research objectives and experience.
- Hands-on training in femoral and aortic catheter placement techniques, and other instrumentation supported by Kaha Telemetry.
- Guidance on animal monitoring, post surgical care, and signal reliability.
- System setup support to ensure optimal hardware performance.
- Practical instruction on telemetry signal acquisition, data interrogation, and quality control.
- Step-by-step training in data interpretation and integrating it into your workflow.
- Immediate improvement in surgical precision, data quality, and efficiency.
Example Training Experience:
One-Day Format:
A single training day begins with a review of your telemetry setup, research goals, and surgical experience. A morning seminar covers optimal surgical approaches, hardware setup, and best practices for data acquisition and monitoring. In the afternoon, your team practices non-occlusive aortic or occlusive femoral cannulation under expert supervision.
Two-Day Format:
Day one focuses on seminars and occlusive femoral artery cannulation, ensuring participants master key surgical principles. Day two builds on this foundation with a recap and training in non- occlusive abdominal aorta cannulation. The program concludes with a tailored session on data analysis, incision closure, or other priorities based on your research goals.
