Abstract
A cable for use with a pressure monitoring catheter, the catheter including an inflatable balloon forming a fluid chamber for pressure measurement. The cable has a first end operably connectable to the catheter, a second end operably connectable to a monitor providing pressure displays, and a printed circuit. The cable includes one or both of the filter system to enable collection and analysis of data and an adjustment feature to adjust pressure values in response to patient movement.
Claims14
A cable for use with a pressure monitoring catheter, the cable having a first end configured to operably connect to the pressure monitoring catheter, a second end configured to operably connect to a monitor which is configured to display pressure values, and a printed circuit, the cable configured to obtain a plurality of pressure readings and configured to store in memory the pressure readings, the cable including a movement adjustment feature configured to adjust pressure values by calculating and comparing pressure differences in response to a patient moving from a supine position to an elevated position to account for changes in the pressure due to the patient moving, the movement adjustment feature configured to compare pressure readings in the elevated position to pressure readings in the supine position and calculate a difference for adjustment of the pressure readings in the elevated position.
