CORPAK Medsystems - Cortrak
DESCRIPTION
CORTRAK® ENTERAL ACCESS SYSTEMThe CORTRAK system is the ONLY system on the market today with FDA 510(k) clearance that uses computer technology to guide clinicians in placement confirmation of Nasoenteric feeding tubes into the alimentary tract by showing the relative location of the feeding tube tip. The tip of the feeding tube stylet is an electromagnetic transmitter. A receiver unit is placed at the patient's Xiphoid process and acquires the signal from the stylet as it moves through the patient during the placement procedure. The track of the tube is shown on the computer monitor with both a 2-D (anterior) and a 3-D (depth cross section) view! This additional depth view is what makes CORTRAK even more accurate than X-ray! According to a multi-center study, 99.5% of placements correlated with abdominal X-ray by capturing the posterior movement of the feeding tube after contrast!
