For single use only
These are general instructions for setting up a pressure monitoring
system and/or Edwards compatible hardware with the FloTrac
sensor. Since kit configurations and procedures vary according to
hospital preferences, it is the responsibility of the hospital to
determine exact policies and procedures.
Caution: The use of lipids with the FloTrac sensor may compromise
product integrity.
Concept/Description
The FloTrac sensor is a sterile, single use kit that monitors pressures
when attached to pressure monitoring catheters. The disposable sterile
cable with a white connector interfaces exclusively with an Edwards
cable that is specifically wired for the pressure monitor being used. The
disposable sterile cable with a green connector interfaces exclusively
with the Edwards APCO cables for use with the Edwards arterial
pressure based cardiac output monitoring devices or hardware.
The FloTrac sensor has a straight, flow-through design across the
pressure sensors with an integral flush device.
Indications
The FloTrac sensor is indicated for use in intravascular pressure
monitoring. It is also indicated for use with the Edwards arterial pressure
based cardiac output monitoring devices or hardware to measure
cardiac output.
