HemoCath™ pulmonary artery catheter

​Flow-directed PA catheter (4F) with two pressure micro-sensors
 
Inserted into the brachial vein on the arm (central vein access)

Substantially less invasive, more accurate and easier-to-use

Monitoring essential hemodynamic metrics

• central venous pressure (CVP)
• pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)
• pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP)
• mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2)
• cardiac output (CO, using Fick principle) 

HemoCath™ monitor

HemoCath-guided heart failure management  

Displaying central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) waveforms 

Calculating key hemodynamic parameters in real time (e.g. PAP index, mPAP, HR)

Problems Addressed

Current methods to assess heart failure are late and imprecise (e.g. physical exams, lab tests, medical imaging). Current medical devices to assess heart failure are too invasive and risky (e.g. today's PA catheters, electronic cardiac implants).
