The Integra Licox® PtO2 monitor supports a series of minimally invasive probes that are inserted directly into the patient. The PtO2 probe uses an electrochemical microcell for oxygen measurements. The temperature probe uses a thermocouple to measure temperature. The kit includes a combined oxygen and temperature probe, and a parenchymal probe guide.
The Licox® Cerebral Oxygen Monitoring System measures intracranial oxygen and temperature and is designed as an adjunct monitor of trends in these parameters, indicating the perfusion status of local brain tissue for sensor placement. Licox system values are relative for each individual and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnostic or therapy decisions. Its objective is to provide additional data to that obtained by current clinical practice in cases where hypoxia or ischemia is a concern.
Highly accurate at relevant values of PbtO2 in brain tissue.
Oxygen sensitivity averaged over a 18 mm² probe area.
Accurate measurement of brain temperature at the source.
Excellent long-term stability up to 5 days.
