10.1 Pressure Cable Overview
The HemoSphere pressure cable acquires and processes a single pressure signal from a compatible Edwards
disposable pressure transducers (DPT), such as the TruWave DPT, or a FloTrac sensor. A FloTrac or FloTrac
IQ sensor connects to an existing arterial catheter to provide minimally invasive hemodynamic parameters.
A TruWave transducer can connect to any compatible pressure monitoring catheter to provide location
based intravascular pressure. Refer to the directions for use provided with each catheter for specific
instructions on catheter placement and use, and for relevant warnings, cautions and notes. The HemoSphere
pressure cable can be monitored through two technology monitoring modes based on the paired sensor/
transducer: FloTrac sensor monitoring mode or Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring mode. The monitoring
mode appears on the information bar (see figure 5-19 on page 84). The appearance and connection points
for the HemoSphere pressure cable are shown in figure 10-1.
Pressure Type Color Insert. If desired, the appropriate color insert can be used on the pressure cable to
indicate the monitored pressure type. See
 in figure 10-1 below. The colors are as follows:
• Red for arterial pressure (AP)
• Blue for central venous pressure (CVP)
• Yellow for pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)
