Indications
The CardioMEMS HF System is indicated for wirelessly measuring and monitoring
pulmonary artery (PA) pressure and heart rate in New York Heart Association (NYHA)
Class III heart failure patients who have been hospitalized for heart failure in the previous
year. The hemodynamic data are used by physicians for heart failure management and
with the goal of reducing heart failure hospitalizations.
Contraindications
The CardioMEMS HF System is contraindicated for patients with an inability to take dual
antiplatelet or anticoagulants for one month post implant.
Clinical Considerations for Patient Selection
The following patients may not be appropriate for implantation of the CardioMEMS HF
System:
•
Patients with an active infection.
•
Patients with a history of recurrent (> 1) pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis
•
Patients unable to tolerate a right heart catheterization.
•
Patients with a Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) <25 ml/min who are non-responsive
to diuretic therapy or who are on chronic renal dialysis.
•
Patients with congenital heart disease or mechanical right heart valve(s)
•
Patients with known coagulation disorders.
•
Patients with a hypersensitivity or allergy to aspirin, and/or clopidogrel.
•
Patients who have undergone implantation of a Cardiac Resynchronization Device
(CRT) within the past 3 months.
•
If the patient’s BMI is greater than 35, measure the patient’s chest circumference at
the axillary level. If the chest circumference is > 165cm, sensor implantation should
not occur.
Warnings
Before
use of the system, read and understand the instructions for use contained in this
manual and in the System Guide.
•
Read this manual thoroughly before using the system to avoid potential patient injury
or death.
•
Only trained personnel should use this product.
•
The implant procedure must be performed by personnel with the appropriate clinical
skills and infrastructure to support right heart catheterizations and endovascular
device placement and deployment over a guidewire.
•
The PA Sensor and Delivery System is for single use only. Do not reuse, reprocess,
or resterilize. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may compromise the structural
integrity of the device and/or lead to device failure which, in turn, may result in patient
injury, illness, or death. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may also create a risk
