The Cordella Pulmonary Artery Sensor System is designed for on-demand measurement of pulmonary artery pressure from the patient’s home. Cordella Sensor Delivery Kit consists of the Cordella PA Sensor and Delivery System which are components of the Cordella Pulmonary Artery Sensor System.Cordella PA SensorThe Cordella Sensor is a small implant that resides permanently in the patient’s right pulmonary artery. The Cordella Sensor does not contain batteries or active electrical components. The Cordella Sensor is not made with natural rubber latex.Delivery SystemThe Delivery System is a catheter with a pre-loaded Cordella Sensor at the distal end and is used to implant the Cordella Sensor into the right pulmonary artery. The Delivery System comprises a stability sheath, torque catheter, handle, torque luer, and side port. Implantation of the Cordella Sensor using the Delivery System is designed to be performed during right heart catheterization through venous access. The Stability Sheath contains a marker band at the distal end to aid in visualization under fluoroscopy. The Delivery System is not made with natural rubber latex.
An assembly of devices intended for regular (e.g., daily) measurement and recording of pulmonary artery pressures, to assist monitoring and treatment of a heart disease patient at high-risk of heart failure. It includes a sensor intended to be implanted in the pulmonary artery, an external monitoring system(s), information software, and typically devices associated with implantation. The monitoring system(s) are intended to wirelessly power and interrogate the implanted sensor via an antenna, and display/record/communicate arterial blood pressure information (e.g., systolic, diastolic and mean pressures, heart rate). It is intended for monitoring in both the home and healthcare facility.
