What is it indicated for?
The Chartis System is indicated for use by bronchoscopists during a diagnostic bronchoscopy in adult patients in a bronchoscopy suite. The system, composed of the Chartis Catheter and Chartis Console, is designed to measure pressure and flow in order to calculate resistance to airflow and quantify collateral ventilation in isolated lung compartments. The Chartis Catheter is used through the working channel of a bronchoscope and connects to the Chartis Console. The Chartis Console is a re-useable piece of capital equipment that displays the patient information.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
