GenESA® System | Gensia, Inc.
San Diego, CA 92121 |
This device is indicated for delivering arbutamine, a catecholamine, through a closed-loop, computer controlled drug-delivery system to elicit acute cardiovascular response similar to those produced by exercise. In patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who cannot exercise adequately, stress induction with the device is indicated as an aid in diagnosing the presence or absence of CAD. Like exercise testing, cardiac stress testing with the GenESA® System must always be performed under the direct supervision of a physician, and cardiac emergency equipment and supplies (defibrillator, intravenous b-blacker, etc.) must always be available. Arbutamine must not be administered without use of the GenESA® Device. |
