OptiQ® Catheters - combines SvO2 and CCO.
TDQ™ Catheters - CCO only.
Opticath® Catheters - SvO2 only.

Pentalumen™ and Multiflex Pulmonary Artery Catheters:

• Two stiffness formulations
• Continuous monitoring of haemodynamic pressures when used with a pressure monitoring kit
• Cardiac output via the bolus cardiac output injection technique
• Access to venous blood for sampling

Hospira's vascular and cardiac catheter product line spans the spectrum of patient acuity.

Pulmonary artery catheters are available in two formulations: standard and Torque-Line® with enhanced maneuverability.

Hospira's advanced sensory catheters are available for continuous monitoring of SvO2 with our exclusive 3-wavelength technology, continuous cardiac output or with both parameters.

Standard and Advanced Sensory Catheters:

Advanced parameters for cardiovascular monitoring:

SvO2 (mixed venous oxygen saturation):

• 3-wavelength technology (reflectance spectrophotometry)
• Light intensity bar provides an indication to the quality of the reflected light and assists in interpreting the fiberoptic signal

CCO (Continuous Cardiac Output):

• 15 cm long thermal coil allows for the lowest possible power. This assists in interpreting the fiberoptic signal.
• Distal Thermal Positioning Port (DTPP) provides a means to confirm proper thermal coil placement
