Abstract
A system for real time monitoring of catheter aspiration includes a pressure sensor configured for placement in fluid communication with a lumen which at least partially includes an aspiration lumen of a catheter, the aspiration lumen configured to couple to a vacuum source, a measurement device coupled to the pressure sensor and configured for measuring deviations in fluid pressure, and a communication device coupled to the measurement device and configured to generate a continuous signal which is proportional to measured fluid pressure.

A system for real time monitoring of catheter aspiration, comprising:
- a pressure sensor configured for placement in fluid communication with a lumen which at least partially includes an aspiration lumen of a catheter, the aspiration lumen configured to couple to a vacuum source;
- a processor coupled to the pressure sensor and programmed to measure deviations in fluid pressure;
- and
- a communication device coupled to the processor and configured to generate a continuous signal which is proportional to measured fluid pressure.
A system for real time monitoring of catheter aspiration, comprising:
- a pressure sensor configured for placement in fluid communication with an aspiration lumen of a catheter, the aspiration lumen configured to couple to a vacuum source;
- a processor coupled to the pressure sensor and programmed to measure variations in fluid pressure;
- and
- a communication device coupled to the processor and configured to generate a continuous signal which varies proportionally as a result of variation in fluid pressure.
