Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:An examination apparatus for medical examination, in particular determination of a blood pressure, of an animal, in particular an animal having a paw, particularly preferably an animal from the subfamily of the Felinae. The examination apparatus has a sensor device for the optical examination of an arterial blood flow of the animal, in particular for performing a photoplethysmography. For this purpose, the sensor device has at least one emitter for the emission of electromagnetic radiation and at least one detector for the detection of the radiation emitted by the emitter. The sensor device preferably has several emitters and several detectors that are arranged in a periodic structure. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor device has a limiting device which defines a border of a detection region of the sensor device so that a distance of the border from the sensor device is more than 0.5 mm and/or less than 5 mm.
