Why is the T-Line® Radial Artery Sensor consumable?
A. The fundamental technology of Tensymetry® has been developed using special single-use, comfortable elastomers and polymeric materials, which enhance extraction of the radial artery pulse under a variety of anatomic conditions. The technology for elastomeric sensors of this type is extremely well understood, and has an excellent clinical track record. Alternatively, a fully reusable non-elastomeric pressure sensor would be quite expensive and potentially uncomfortable for the patient, and would require frequent and potentially costly recalibration.
