What is Protek device?
ProTek Devices is a leading semiconductor manufacturer of a wide range of high-performance TVS protection, analog and mixed-signal products.
What does a Protek duo do?
The PROTEK Duo works via an internal jugular vein and can be placed so that the blood moves from the right atrium into the pulmonary artery, improving oxygenation and relieving the right side of the heart. The device has been already been available and in use in the United States since last year.
What is a Protek duo cannula?
Protek Duo is a dual lumen cannula devise inserted percutaneously via internal jugular (IJ) venous access. Proximal inflow lumen is positioned in the right atrium and distal outflow lumen is positioned in the main pulmonary artery.
Who makes Protek duo?
Wins FDA Approval For Its PROTEK Duo Veno-Venous Cannula. PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CardiacAssist, Inc. today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its new PROTEK DuoTM veno-venous cannula.
Is Protek duo ECMO?
With the Protek Duo device, deoxygenated blood is drained through the superior vena cava to the ECMO circuit and then pumped into the main pulmonary artery.
Is Protek duo Rvad?
The Protek Duo (TPD) is a temporary RVAD placed via the right internal jugular vein, capable of providing up to 4.5 L of flow. We report a two-center experience using the TPD in 17 patients with right ventricular (RV) failure, 12 of whom were post-left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.
What is a TandemHeart?
The TandemHeart is a left atrial-to-femoral artery bypass system comprising a transseptal cannula, arterial cannulae, and a centrifugal blood pump. The pump can deliver flow rates up to 4.0 L/min at a maximum speed of 7500 rpm.
Is TandemHeart an ECMO?
Our experience suggests that the TandemHeart catheter system can offer innovative and superior options for ECMO delivery to different populations of patients who experience cardiopulmonary failure.
Is TandemHeart an LVAD?
What is the Protek duo RVAD?
The Protek Duo, made my TandemLife/LivaNova, is a temporary percutaneous right ventricular assist device (RVAD). There are specialists who put this in place: Interventional Cardiologists, Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologists, Intensivists, or other well trained medical specialist.
Is placing a Protek duo worth the risk?
Placing a Protek Duo or any RVAD is worth serious consideration. It is not without risk. Also, the earlier its insertion, the better the outcomes. Using the Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index is helpful to determine the state.
What is the flow rate of the Protek duo cannula?
The flow provided by the Protek Duo is up to 4.5L/min. As it is introduced in the internal jugular vein, the cannula has a proximal inflow cannula which sits in the right atrium. The cannula is fed into the main pulmonary artery which is where the distal outflow lumen is positioned.
What is the difference between Impella RP and Protek duo?
As mentioned, the Protek Duo is goes in the right internal jugular vein. That allows the patient to ambulate. In addition, as mentioned above, the Impella RP and Protek Duo also differ in their types of flow. The Impella RP provides axial flow while the Protek Duo provides centrifugal flow.
