Integra LifeSciences Corp. Dec-27-2013 Integra – Integra Camino Advanced Monitor with Waveform Display Model CAM01 Integra Neurosciences; 311 Enterprise Dr Plainsboro; NJ 08536 USAThe Camino Advanced Monitor is a compact; portable device for use with Camino 110-4 series of Pressure / Temperature and Pressure Transducer-Tipped Catheters. Pressure and/or Temperature are measured at the Catheter tip; eliminating the need for external transducers; fluid; pressure tubing; and flush devices. The Camino displays intracranial pressure (ICP); intracranial temperature (ICT); and calculates cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) (CPP = mean arterial pressure – mean intracranial pressure). The Camino provides a continuous display of the ICP waveform; as well as mean ICP; CPP; ICT; or systolic and diastolic waveform values. A continuous record of mean pressure and CPP values over the most recent 24-hour period is stored in memory; and can be displayed on command as a TREND either as the most recent 12 or 24 hour period. Outputs for ICP and ICT are available for use with patient bedside monitors. An isolated analogue output provides a continuous ICP waveform for hard copy documentation or data acquisition. An input to receive mean arterial pressure from a compatible patient bedside monitor is available for use when it is desired to have a CPP reading. The mean arterial pressure cannot be acquired from a non-invasive blood pressure cuff. Although the Camino is intended to be a stand-alone system; it also conveniently connects to hospital bedside monitoring systems. Integra became aware through a complaint from a single non-US customer that if the optional SYS/DIAS mode is used on CAM01 monitor that contains Mod 4 Firmware; the displayed values for the systolic and diastolic intracranial pressure (ICP) are reversed. But; if the CAM01 is used with an auxiliary bedside monitor; the bedside monitor displays these values correctly.
