What is it indicated for?

The modified SensiCath Sensor, when used as part of the Point-of-Care Blood gas Monitor System is intended to provide on-demand arterial blood gas monitoring in the operating room and at the bedside for critically ill patients requiring an arterial pressure monitoring line. The ABG information is available to the attending qualified medical professional on demand and within approximately 60 seconds of the time the sample cycle was initiated. The intended use of the modified SensiCath Sensor is the same as the predicate SensiCath Sensor.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
