The Cordella Pulmonary Artery Sensor System is designed for on-demand measurement of pulmonary artery pressure from the patient’s home. Cordella Calibration Equipment is a component of the Cordella Pulmonary Artery Sensor System.The Calibration Equipment (CalEQ) is hospital equipment that supports the implantation procedure. The main functions of Calibration Equipment include:• Interrogates the Cordella Sensor to verify proper working condition.• Facilitates linking of component serial numbers to patient IDs.• Calibrates the Cordella Sensor to a reference pressure at the time of implantation.• Trains patient on optimal Reader placement post-procedure.• Recalibrates the Cordella Sensor to a reference pressure post-implant.• CalEQ is operated by Endotronix personnel only.
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.
