Indications for Use
The DSPM-70 Blood Pressure Measurement System is suitable for measurement of real-time blood pressure data wherever indwelling blood pressure catheters and transducers are currently used for management of intraoperative and post-surgical critically ill patients. The information measured is suitable for use in derivation of blood pressure parameters such as heart rate, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and mean pressure, Not to be used where there is the potential for accidental entry of the catheter into the heart or other site in the body where patient safety may be compromised. The transmitter portion of the product is intended to be secured to the skin with tape with the distal tip of the pressure sensing catheter placed in the vasculature at a physician specified site. The system is intended to be limited to use in a single patient for less than 7 days. The external equipment may be reused. While the DSPM-70 is indicated for 7 days use, research has shown that in some patient populations, risk of infection increases when indwelling catheters remain in use for longer than 72 hours. Duration of use should be determined by institutional guidelines and consideration of various sources of risk to the patient. The DSPM-70 has no feature that provides the ability to draw blood from the patient. 4 French models: Intended for use on critically ill intra-operative and postsurgical patients at sites suitable for insertion of a 4 French intravascular catheter under intensive nursing and physician care. Use an introducer sheath with an inside diameter of 0.061 inches such as the Terumo Medical model SR-OX1451CA 14 Ga x 2 inch Surflo I.V. Catheter. Introducer sheath should remain in place after insertion. Not intended for neonatal use. 2 French models: Intended for use on critically ill intra-opcrative and postsurgical patients at sites suitable for insertion of a 2 French intravascular catheter under intensive nursing and physician care. Use an introducer sheath with an inside diameter of 0.034 inches such as the Terumo Medical model SR-OX1832CA 18 Ga x 1 1/4 inch Surflo I.V. Catheter. Introducer sheath should remain in place after inscrtion. Neonatal applications are limited to femoral artery use only.
Device Story
DSPM-70 is an implantable-style blood pressure monitoring system; consists of a pressure transmitter with integrated catheter, external receiver, analog adapter, and ambient pressure reference. Transmitter (battery-powered, RF-enabled) placed on chest; catheter tip inserted into vasculature. Pressure transmitted via biocompatible gel-filled catheter to internal diaphragm. Transmitter sends RF signals to external receiver; receiver outputs data for physician monitoring. Analog adapter interfaces with standard recording equipment. Ambient pressure reference allows for differential pressure calculation. Used in OR/ICU settings by physicians/nurses. Provides real-time hemodynamic data (systolic, diastolic, mean, heart rate) to assist clinical decision-making. Benefits include continuous monitoring without tethering to external transducers.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
System includes pressure transmitter (battery, RF coil, diaphragm), external receiver, analog adapter, and ambient pressure reference. Catheter tip sealed with biocompatible gel. Connectivity: RF transmission from transmitter to receiver; analog output for external recording. Power: 110 VAC external supply. Dimensions: 2 French and 4 French catheter models. Sterilization: Not specified. Materials: Biocompatible materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for critically ill intraoperative and post-surgical patients requiring real-time blood pressure monitoring via indwelling intravascular catheters. 4 French models: Not for neonatal use. 2 French models: Neonatal use limited to femoral artery only. Contraindicated where accidental catheter entry into heart or other sensitive organs may compromise patient safety.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.
