PRESSUREWIRE RECEIVER

FEATURES OF THE PRESSUREWIRE RECEIVER

The PressureWire Receiver ensures secure communication for accurate fractional flow reserve (FFR) results.

• The PressureWire transmitter and receiving system lock to each other at calibration using a unique identification code. The receiver cannot receive pressure from any other PressureWire X guidewire being used in the vicinity.
• The system uses advanced frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology and very low radio power to avoid interfering with or being disturbed by other systems in the cardiac cath lab.
• The system changes radio frequency 400 times per second so that even if there are several interfering radio sources it will always locate other available frequencies.
• Mobile phones, computer networks or x-ray equipment will not disturb the radio signal.
• If a power failure occurs, the receiving system stores the last connected PressureWire X guidewire in its memory for automatic reconnection.

INTUITIVE FUNCTIONALITY

The “Plus” button:

• Increases pressure offset by +1 mmHg or
• Increases reference level output in Refout mode

The “Connect” button is:

• Pressed once to connect to PressureWire X guidewire
• Pressed and held > 3 second to enter Refout mode
• (While in Refout mode) Pressed once to exit

The “Minus” button:

• Decreases pressure offset by -1 mmHg or
• Decreases reference level output in Refout mode

PERFORMANCE IN A HEMODYNAMIC RECORDING SYSTEM

The PressureWire X guidewire is a key component of an FFR-enabled hemodynamic recording system. When the PressureWire Receiver is plugged directly into the recording system front end, users can count on:

• FFR presented in real time on existing monitor screens
• Recording and analysis of FFR recordings on screens inside the cardiac cath lab and control room
• Configurable beat- or time-based pressure averaging
• Easy software equalization of Pa and Pd pressures*
• Complete documentation of FFR measurements

ORDERING INFORMATION

The PressureWire Receiver, which comes with a Table Mount (1 unit per box), requires a Monitor Cable for connection.
