Lysus® Infusion System - PT-3 Control. The Lysus Infusion System employs
high frequency, low power ultrasound to facilitate the delivery of physician-specified
fluids in the peripheral vasculature. (This system is also called the UltraFlo
and EKOS Peripheral Infusion System in internal documents.) The Lysus® Infusion
System consists of three main components, a single use Lysus® Infusion Catheter
System which is comprised of a Drug Delivery Catheter (DDC) and removable
Ultrasound Core (USC), and a reusable EKOS PT-3 Control System. During use,
fluids are delivered through the side-holes of the DDC. The USC is placed
through the central lumen of the DDC to deliver ultrasound energy along the
length of fluid delivery, dispersing the fluid into the intravascular treatment
site. The reusable EKOS PT-3 Control Unit provides power to the system and
the user interface for operator control. A reusable, non-sterile Catheter
Interface Cable with Pod connects the EKOS PT-3 Control Unit to the Lysus®
Infusion Catheter System, Recall # Z-0175-06

The NEXUS I Entra pacemakers are multiprogrammable
pacemakers from Intermedics. The family consists of
both dual-chamber and single-chamber models, offering
adaptive-rate therapy and providing various levels of
therapeutic and diagnostic functionality.

ventricular Automatic Capture which automatically
measures the ventricular pacing threshold and adjusts
the pacing output to 0.5 V above the measured threshold.
Two sensors are available: these adapt the pacing rate
to the patient’s changing metabolic demand. Minute
ventilation responds to changes in respiration, and
the accelerometer responds to patient activity
(motion). INSIGNIA and NEXUS I Ultra models can use
either the accelerometer or minute ventilation sensor,
or a blend of both accelerometer and minute ventilation.
