TRUWAVE, VAMP JR.
Edwards Lifesciences LLC · Model VMP406PX
A sterile, noninvasive, non-luminal, electronic device designed to be connected to an appropriate invasive luminal device (e.g., catheter, cannula, tube, needle), to detect pressures (e.g., blood, gastrointestinal, urinary pressures) within the lumen and transmit them as electrical signals to an appropriate monitoring device. It consists of a pressure transducer and a connection cable and may be designed to be used with a pressure transducer dome. This is a single-use device.
Key tips
- ·A no-signal/flatline alarm gets checked on the patient first, not the monitor - rule out a real clinical event before troubleshooting.
- ·Recalibrate NIBP against a reference manometer, not just a self-test pass.
- ·Reused patient cables (SpO2, ECG leads) are a common source of intermittent-fault complaints - swap the cable before the module.
