Rodent ADVantage^TM PV System: Validation Study
Validation Study	This study evaluates the classical conductance approach to PV-loops, focusing on conductance-to-volume conversion methods. The new admittance approach is also covered in detail, and both of these methods are validated against echocardiography. The results clearly demonstrate the value of our new admittance system!
Benefits of the Scisense Recessed Pressure Window
Benefits of a Recessed Pressure Sensor (84 KB)	The following test results clearly demonstrate the benefits of our unique catheter design. By recessing the pressure sensor within the catheter housing, we reduce the likelihood of artifacts due to impact from vessel walls and structures within the heart (myocardium, trabeculae, etc.).
Validation Test Results - Scisense Pressure Sensor
Validation Test Results (379 KB)	The purpose of this document is to compare the Scisense pressure sensor to another commercially available pressure sensor, and in some cases, a third, high-precision industrial pressure sensor. The test covers areas of frequency response, steady state drift, temperature drift and linearity.
