Description The CardioMEMS HF System provides pulmonary artery (PA) hemodynamic data used for the monitoring and management of heart failure (HF) patients. The system measures changes in PA pressure which physicians use to initiate or modify heart failure treatment. The system includes the following components: Implantable wireless sensor with delivery catheter ...
All sensors have a unique calibration. Ensure readings are only taken using the correct calibration information from the sensor. Use of the incorrect calibration information may result in an inaccurate reading. All right heart catheterizations must be performed under fluoroscopic guidance to prevent sensor dislodgement. ...
Sterilization The Hospital Electronics System is provided non-sterile. Components and Setup Connect the System Cables Align the keyed antenna at an approximately 30 degree angle and twist on the locking connector. Figure 1. Connecting the antenna Attach the connectors as shown in the figure below. Connectors: Power supply connector (5 pin DIN) Printer serial communication cable (9 pin D-SUB )
Figure 3. The printer mount The Pole Attachment To mount the electronics unit to a pole, use the pole clamp. Ensure that the pole is sturdy and can remain stable when at an incline of 10 degrees. Recommended pole: Pryor Products, Inc.
Patient and Hospital Electronics Systems The CardioMEMS PA Sensor is implanted into a distal branch of the descending PA. Following implantation, patients are instructed to take pressure readings from home as directed by their physician. The information transmitted to the database is immediately available to clinicians for review.
Overview Implant Procedure Overview For detailed instructions, refer to the following sections: New Sensor Implant - Wireless Connection Available New Sensor Implant - No Wireless Connection Available New Sensor Implant - Wireless Connection Available This section presents using the Hospital Electronics System to perform a sensor implant when a wireless connection is available for communication with the Merlin.net Patient Care Network Heart Failure Management Application.

Figure 10. Verify patient and sensor information. Step 2: Acquire Signal Once you have loaded the patient and sensor information into the Hospital Electronics System and then implanted the sensor, the steps below describe how to set the pulmonary artery (PA) pressure baseline. Place the antenna under the patient’s back, approaching from the side where the sensor was placed.

Figure 12. Setting PA Pressure Baseline. Wait for the screen to re-fill with a stable pressure waveform and then confirm that the sensor mean pressure matches the catheter PA mean pressure within +/- 1mm Hg. Repeat the PA Baseline step as necessary to achieve a good match between measurements.
Figure 14. Enter Reference Cardiac Output to Set Baseline. Enter the reference cardiac output value and select OK. Step 4: Take Reading Once you are satisfied with the PA pressure baseline, take as many pressure readings as desired. Establishing accurate baseline PA pressure at the time of implant is important to ensure accurate PA pressure readings from home.

Locating Sensor Signal This section outlines procedures to help locate the sensor signal. A. Optimize Signal Strength Follow this procedure if the signal strength is not optimal (<70% or not green). Use fluoroscopy to improve the position of the antenna relative to the implanted sensor. Align the center of the antenna with the sensor and adjust the antenna to maximize the signal strength.
B. Technically Suspect Readings Technically suspect readings are readings which result from a signal other than the sensor. If you receive technically suspect readings that have a high signal strength (> 70% ) within the search range of the sensor: Be aware of the angulation of the sensor relative to the antenna and have the patient shift positions until the suspect reading ...
Ask the patient to press the antenna firmly into their back as much as is still comfortable. Ask the patient to remove all metallic objects. Have the patient shift into different positions. D. Angulation The signal strength is strongest when the antenna and sensor are parallel. Try these steps to change the angulation: Ask the patient to orient and locate the antenna over the position of the sensor.
