Specification:

Implantable Sensor
- Type: Wireless, battery-free implantable sensor.
- Size: Small, approximately the size of a paperclip (15 mm in length).
- Material: Made of biocompatible materials, including nitinol and platinum, suitable for long-term implantation.
- Location: Implanted into the pulmonary artery via a catheter-based procedure.
- Functionality: Measures pulmonary artery pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean) and heart rate continuously.
Transmitter System
- Type: External electronic device used by patients at home.
- Data Transmission:
  - Uses a pillow with embedded antennae to wirelessly read data from the implanted sensor.
  - Transmits data via secure cellular or Wi-Fi networks to a cloud-based system.
- Frequency: Operates within medical telemetry frequency bands.
Remote Monitoring System
- Cloud Platform:
  - Data is transmitted to Abbott’s secure platform for analysis and integration with healthcare provider systems.
  - Accessible through clinician portals for real-time decision-making.
- Integration: Compatible with most electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
- Alerts: Provides clinicians with alerts when pressure readings deviate from preset thresholds.
Data Specifications
- Measured Parameters:
  - Pulmonary artery pressures: Mean, systolic, diastolic.
  - Heart rate derived from pressure signals.
- Accuracy: High precision readings validated in clinical studies.
- Frequency of Readings: Continuous monitoring with regular data uploads as set by the physician.
Device Features
- Battery: The implantable sensor is battery-free, leveraging external electromagnetic energy for operation.
- Lifespan: Designed for permanent implantation without replacement needs.
- Compatibility: MRI-safe under specified conditions.
- Maintenance: No in-body maintenance is required post-implantation.

Description

Abbott CardioMEMS HF System

Key Features:

Implantable PA Pressure Sensor:
- A small, wireless sensor implanted via a minimally invasive catheter procedure into the pulmonary artery.
- No need for batteries or leads; powered externally during pressure readings.
Wireless Data Transmission:
- Patients use a home monitoring unit that collects pressure readings from the sensor.
- Data is securely transmitted to the healthcare provider for review.
Remote Monitoring:
- Continuous, real-time access to PA pressure data enables clinicians to adjust medications and therapy remotely.
- Reduces reliance on symptom-based monitoring, which can lag behind physiological changes.
Durability:
- The sensor is designed to last a lifetime, requiring no replacement or maintenance once implanted.
