Class of accuracy in electrical measurements and voltmeters have a high but not infinite internal impedance. Thus the measured parameters are somewhat altered during the measurements. Let E be the EMF of the source R be the resistance of the load and r be the resistance of the ammeter. The current through the load is I When the ammeter is connected in series with the load the current I is The difference introduced by the measuring device is then, The ratio of the difference to the actual value is Class of accuracy in electrical measurements In electrical engineering class of accuracy is a figure which represents
Electrical cardiometry Electrical cardiometry Electrical cardiometry is a method based on the model of "Electrical Velocimetry", and non-invasively measures stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and other hemodynamic parameters through the use of 4 surface ECG electrodes. Electrical cardiometry is a method trademarked by Cardiotronic, Inc., and is U.S. FDA approved for use on adults, children, and neonates. The measured bioimpedance over time can be expressed as the superposition of three components: where Z is the quasi-static portion of the electrical impedance (base impedance), ΔZ are the changes of impedance due to the respiratory cycle, and ΔZ are the changes of impedance
