Swan Ganz Pacing Thermodilution Catheter - Catheter, cardiac, balloon, pacing electrode

Intended purpose

The Swan-Ganz Pacing-TD catheter is indicated for atrial, ventricular, or A-V sequential pacing for hemodynamic reasons, overdrive suppression of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, and diagnosis of complex arrhythmias.

Functional description

Swan Ganz Pacing-TD catheters serve as diagnostic and therapeutic tools in the management of critically ill patients. The Pacing-TD catheter can perform right artrial, pulmonary arterial and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure measurements, blood sampling, solution infusion, and cardiac output measurements by thermodilution when used with a compatible cardiac output computer. It consists of a distal port, injectate port, inflation port and thermistor, and is made from PVC with a latex balloon.
