Millar Instruments manufactures and markets a line of combination Pressure-Volume (P-V) catheters. These catheters combine pressure sensors and electrodes for simultaneous high fidelity pressure and volume measurements, enabling minimally invasive, continuous, intracardiac pressure-volume analysis. P-V models feature a high torque catheter body and range in size from 5 to 7 French in single-field or dual-field configurations, with closed-end pigtails. Model configurations include the availability of a second pressure sensor, and as many as 12 electrodes. Electrode spacing varies to accommodate a range of applications.
Millar also offers Pressure-Volume catheters configured for an apical approach. Please contact the Millar Customer Service Department to select the appropriate catheter and interface cable.
These catheters are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of sixty days from the date of the original shipment and are not repairable.
