Monitor and IAP catheters for measuring intraabdominal pressure
Description
ICP monitors for measuring intracranial pressure
All Spiegelberg ICP monitors have a practical plug-and-play function. After placement of the air-pouch probe, connect it, switch on the monitor and wait for the automatic calibration¹. The latest Spiegelberg ICP monitors come with batteries that last up to 6 hours. Every ICP monitor is compatible with most standard patient monitors.
Accurate measuring results & data analysis
Spiegelberg ICP monitors run an automatic recalibration process to ensure accurate measurement results¹. A clinical trial² has confirmed that the maximum drift over a period up to 28 days was only +-2 mmHg.
¹ ICP-Monitor internal zeroing; no calibration in the technical sense

IAP catheters for measuring intraabdominal pressure
Spiegelberg IAP catheters continuously measure the intraabdominal pressure via the air pouch at the tip of the catheter and they are compatible with all Spiegelberg ICP monitors.
Easy to use
Spiegelberg IAP catheters can be used immediately, because they do not require calibration before use. The IAP catheter is inserted like a nasogastric tube. There is an air pouch at the tip. The catheter has two lumens: one lumen for connection of the air pouch to the Spiegelberg ICP monitor and one lumen for insertion of the guide wire.
Particularly robust
Because the technology is not in the probe but only in the monitor, the Spiegelberg IAP catheters are particularly non-sensitive and are noted for their durability.
