The Smart Pressure Controller PC1Q is an accessory for compatible Edwards noninvasive monitoring systems. Used with a compatible monitor, pressure source and finger cuff, it supports continuous measurement of blood pressure and associated hemodynamic parameters.
The controller provides correction for the hydrostatic height difference between the finger and the heart. This function belongs to the pressure controller within the larger monitoring arrangement, which combines the cuff, pump and monitor to obtain and present measurements.
Compatible System Use
The controller operates as part of the specified Edwards equipment combination. The compatible monitor determines the applicable patient population and use environment. In the HemoSphere ClearSight configuration, monitoring is indicated for patients over 18 who need continuous assessment of cardiac function, fluid status and vascular resistance.
