cVein™
is a novel handheld probe that works in conjunction with
an ultrasound machine to estimate CVP. The handheld probe
is used to gently apply pressure to the patient’s
neck, while the ultrasound unit allows the operator to
visualize a major vein near the surface of the neck in
real-time. Using a high-precision pressure transducer,
cVein™ can quickly and reliably estimate the pressure
inside this vein, which can in turn be correlated to CVP.
The design of cVein™ includes various features that
make it an optimal solution for quick and simple CVP measurement:
|
| |
| |
The single-unit
ergonomic design allows for ease of use, and requires
minimal training for any medical professional. |
| |
|
| |
Proprietary software algorithms
dynamically account for various soft tissue effects,
thus ensuring accurate results from patient to patient
without the need for calibration on each use. |
| |
|
| |
cVein™ operates as a
self-contained unit that does not require a particular
ultrasound model. With the rapidly growing number
of ultrasound machines, this enables the cVein™
procedure to be more convenient in diverse situations. |
