Edwards Lifesciences, LLC - Swan Ganz Thermodilution Catheter - Class 1 Recall

Edwards Lifesciences Swan Ganz Thermodilution Catheter, REF 131VF7P Product Usage: The Swan-Ganz Thermodilution Catheter provides a diagnostic tool for physicians to rapidly determine hemodynamic pressures and cardiac output when used with a compatible cardiac output computer. Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheters are indicated for the assessment of a patient s hemodynamic condition through direct intra-cardiac and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring, cardiac output determination, and for infusing solutions. The distal (pulmonary artery) port also allows sampling of mixed venous blood for the assessment of oxygen transport balance and the calculation of derived parameters such as oxygen consumption, oxygen utilization coefficient, and intrapulmonary shunt fraction.
