Millar -Â Model SPT-301 - Non-Invasive Pulse Wave Tonometer for Cardiovascular Assessment
The Millar SPT-301 Non-Invasive Pulse Wave Tonometer is designed for a seamless evaluation of the cardiovascular system. Providing high-fidelity blood pressure waveforms through direct skin contact with the carotid, femoral, or radial arteries, it offers valuable insights into cardiovascular health. The device efficiently integrates with standard blood pressure monitoring systems and outputs waveform data instantly. Utilizing two tonometers to derive pulse wave velocity (PWV) offers an analysis of arterial stiffness, a crucial metric in assessing risks for heart disease, stroke, and dementia. The tonometer aids in the examination of the augmentation index, pressure augmentation, and reflected wave magnitude, offering comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations. This precision instrument is indispensable for both clinical researchers and medical practitioners aiming to better understand specific patient groups or cardiovascular events.
Millar's SPT-301 Pulse Wave Tonometer enables simple, non-invasive assessment of the cardiovascular system by delivering high-fidelity blood pressure waveforms from direct skin contact with the carotid, femoral or radial artery. A proven method for reproducing high-fidelity arterial blood pressure waveforms, the tonometer provides both medical researchers and clinicians with valuable data to better understand cardiovascular health risks.
Our Pulse Wave Tonometer easily integrates into most standard blood pressure monitoring systems. Once connected, the device can immediately output non-invasive blood pressure waveforms from the carotid, femoral and radial arteries. Used in parallel, the signals from two separate tonometers can derive pulse wave velocity as a measure of arterial stiffness to evaluate a specific patient group or cardiovascular event.
Accurate Data to Analyze PWV and Arterial Stiffness
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial stiffness measured with the tonometer can be used to better understand patient risk for heart disease, stroke and dementia in certain populations.
Pulse wave velocity is a measure of arterial stiffness or the rate at which pressure moves down the vessel. To derive pulse wave velocity as a measure of arterial stiffness, the signals from two separate tonometers can be evaluated using the foot-to-foot flow wave velocity method1.
Additionally, assessment of arterial stiffness via waveform analysis delivers data visibility for the augmentation index, augmented pressure and reflected wave magnitude.
