New Product Announcement: Artifact-Free ECG with the Solid Tip Lead

Nearly artifact-free ECG is now possible without a thoracotomy using DSI’s new Solid Tip Lead and associated surgical technique for large animals.

Developed in partnership with our customers, the technique involves placing a positive electrode on the abdominal side of the diaphragm near the apex of the heart and inserting the negative lead into a jugular and locating the Solid Tip in the vena cava just above the heart. The resulting ECG waveform resembles a lead II morphology with higher amplitude components and virtually no artifact! All of this is done without fluoroscopy, without a thoracotomy, and without placing anything directly onto or into the heart!

The Solid Tip Lead is available with the D70-PCT, D70-CCTP, D70-PCTP, and D70-PCTR transmitters – new or exchanged devices. It will also be available with DSI’s new TruSense Device. The solid tip and modified lead jacket enables the following:

• Simple, atraumatic delivery of electrode to the vena cava
• Long-term residence in blood flow with out negative effects

The Solid Tip Lead is constructed from high quality, clinical grade material. Contact DSI today to learn about the Solid Tip lead
