HemoCath™ pulmonary artery catheter
Flow-directed monitoring 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:
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)
Clinical Need
Current diagnostic methods (e.g. physical exams, lab tests, medical imaging) and devices (e.g. today's PA catheters, electronic cardiac implants) each have shortcomings to assess heart failure in patients. The HemoCath PA catheter is designed to address this clinical need for patients with heart failure.
