The Sensis recording system is intended to be used as a diagnostic and administrative tool supporting hemodynamic cardiac catheterizations and/or intracardiac electrophysiology studies. The system is equipped by modules, enabling various configurations ranging from a stand-alone acquisition unit with limited administrative functionality to multiunit installations with a common database and satellite workstations accessing the data using the administrative tools.

The device is intended to be used on either or both of the following populations:

1. Adult and pediatric populations requiring intracardiac electrophysiology examinations, typically when the patient is suffering from cardiac arrhythmias.

2. Adult and pediatric populations requiring intracardiac hemodynamic examinations, typically when the patient has a heart disease resulting in insufficient hemodynamic functionality.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
