PV ADVantageTM System Validation Study |
A validation paper that compares the new admittance based approach to acquiring PV loops to conventional conductance as well as echocardiography. This is written by Dr. Marc Feldman at the University of Texas (USA). |
| Validation of the Scisense Micro-Manometer Pressure Sensor for Cardiovascular Measurements in Mice | |
Scisense Micro-Manometer Pressure Sensor |
This study compares the 1.2F Scisense pressure sensor to another commercially available catheter-based micro-manometer . In vitro comparisons were performed including temperature drift, frequency response analysis, damping coefficient and natural frequency response measured by "pop test". The authors also performed in vivo comparisons including pressure drift, dose-response to IV isoproterenol, maximum adrenergic stimulation by IV dobutamine, and simultaneous head-to-head performance in the same intact murine heart.

Benefits of a Recessed Pressure Sensor |
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 |
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. |
