Abstract :
A clinical laboratory for monitoring a variety of physiological variables has been developed and is described in the following paper. The facility was designed around a system of modular interchangeable functional units. From past experience, the flexibility provided by such a system is essential for efficient operation, because frequently it is necessary to change the physiological event being recorded on short notice during a routine diagnostic run. A detailed description of the various transducers, amplifiers and reproducers is presented.
