Tensys Medical Inc has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the TL-300, the company’s latest generation system. The TL-300 is a member of Tensys’ established T-Line family, which has successfully been used by over 50,000 patients since commercial launch. The T-Line technology accurately and continuously captures a patient’s beat-to-beat waveform and blood pressure in a completely noninvasive fashion, providing physicians with a stream of real-time hemodynamic data that is not possible using traditional noninvasive blood pressure (cuff) devices. Avoiding the blind-time associated with a deflated or inaccurate cuff can enhance hemodynamic monitoring, which has been definitively linked to improved clinical outcomes.
