Ventri-Cath Catheter (5F, 12E, 12mm, DField, Pigtail, 122cm)

Overview:

The VENTRI-CATH-512 VC Catheter (5F, 12E, 12mm, DField, Pigtail, 122cm) is an evolution of multi-segment pressure-volume (PV) catheters for complete cardiac function assessment in a continuously beating, intact heart of large animals (including dog, pig and sheep). It has a single catheter with a pressure sensor and electrodes that allows direct insertion into the heart with no effect on normal functioning of heart.

The VC Catheter uses a new lighter connector that combines the pressure and volume outputs into a single connector. Therefore, the catheter requires the CEC-10PV PV Extension Cable (VC to MPVS Ultra, 10ft), which is purchased separately for connection to the 880-0168 MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit (small or large animals).

When used with the 880-0168 MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit (large & small animals), the VC Catheter provides simultaneous measurement high-fidelity real-time pressure, up to seven segments of relative volume signals and an intra-cardiac ECG signal for monitoring and analysis of ventricular function.

With the CEC-10PV PV Extension Cable (VC to MPVS Ultra, 10ft), the VC Catheter can also be used with the PL3516B49 MPVS Ultra Foundation System.

The VC Catheter provides high quality and integrity yet cost effective alternative to SPC-550 and SPC-560 series PV catheters.

Calibration
A Pressure Gauge kit which provides the necessary items to calibrate the pressure transducers is available. Please contact your nearest ADInstruments representative for any further information.
