The ADV550 also features digital workflow to streamline the data collection process, reduced-weight micro-HDMI catheter cabling, a familiar form factor, and universal BNC data output to integrate with popular life science data acquisition systems, including ADInstruments, emka, iWorx etc. |
Smoothly Steer PV Loop Catheter using Immediate Volume Feedback
Relative catheter position feedback has always been obtained via the ‘phase’ channel. The ADV550 builds on this foundation to provide the ultimate positional guide with ventricular volume feedback – instantly.
The live volume feedback feature enables the catheter position to be optimised proiding complete control and live data insights and analysis.
The heart is changing in real-time, how can you deliver immediate volume feedback?
The myocardium’s contribution to the received data is constantly monitored by the ADV550. Increases and decreases in muscle contribution throughout the cardiac cycle, positional changes, cardiac challenges, breathing artifact – the system tracks and removes them all.
More Data, More Insights! The ADV550 Provides Twice the Live Data
Where systems using conductance leave you guessing, Admittance technology leads the way with live readout of high-fidelity pressure, ventricular volume, instantaneous muscle contribution (phase) and total conductance (magnitude). The ADV550 gives you confidence that your data is correct throughout your entire protocol.
