Based in Australia, AtCor Medical is a supplier of non-invasive technologies and related services for measuring central blood pressure and arterial stiffness. They offer SphygmoCor CPM systems, which are non-invasive central blood pressure systems.
SphygmoCor CPM systems continuously monitor the aortic pressure and keep track of the real-time deviation of the aortic blood pressure waveform. These systems make use of a radial artery pressure waveform input and it can be from a radial artery catheter and BP monitor or a non-invasive radial artery pressure waveform monitor. SphygmoCor CPM systems provide records of the radial waveform. They also provide ascending aortic blood pressure measurements, which cannot be tracked by the brachial cuff measurement.
SphygmoCor CPM systems incorporate the advanced SphygmoCor technology that allows users to monitor noninvasively the blood pressure of the heart, brain and kidney. These medical instruments record the radical pulse waveform with the help of the measurement taken at the wrist. This waveform derives the blood pressure waveform of the ascending aorta and also reports the central blood pressure data. They also provide detail about the key cardiovascular parameters such as central systolic, diastolic pulse pressures, augmentation index and subendocardial viability ratio.
