Transducers for haemodynamic measurements

Scisense High-Fidelity Pressure Catheters for intracardial blood pressure measurement

 High-Fidelity Pressure Sensor

  • High frequency response maintains signal integrity and prevents damping or attenuation of signal
  • No motion artifact or overshoot as with conventional fluid-filled catheters
  • 10 µV/V/mmHg sensitivity provides higher measurement resolution than any other sensor on the market
  • Pressure membrane recessed for protection
  • Vented to atmosphere to correct for barometric pressure
  • Pressure measured at the source from a single instrument
  • Catheter connects directly to Harvard Apparatus-HSE TAM-A or TAM-D Amplifier

Polyimide Tubing

  • Provides ideal balance of flexibility and rigidity, ensuring easy insertion and maneuverability
  • Will not fray like many other catheter materials which, over time, will irritate vascular lining and valves
  • Small diameter of tubing minimizes impact on aortic flow resulting in more physiologic data

Smooth Profile

  • Reduces potential damage to endothelial lining during catheterization
  • Allows for easy passage through aortic valve (can be inserted and withdrawn repeatedly)
