Intended Use
The Laminar P1 device is a wearable and disposable, ultrasound-based (4.5 MHz, continuous-wave) patch sensor designed to detect blood flow in peripheral vessels and assist in the detection of peripheral vascular disease. The Laminar P1 device is intended to be used by medical professionals, such as physicians and nurses, in hospitals, clinics and private offices and healthcare facilities. It is to be used on adults, ages 18 years and older.
Device Story
Laminar P1 is a wearable, ultrasound-based sensor patch for peripheral blood flow detection. System comprises a single-use sensor patch, adhesive patch frame, and reusable battery-operated processing unit. Device utilizes 4.5 MHz piezoelectric transducers in continuous-wave Doppler mode to detect blood flow in veins and arteries. Medical professionals (physicians/nurses) apply the patch to the patient; the processing unit controls the transducer and provides audio output via a built-in speaker. Users can adjust volume levels and select between three receiver options (shallow, medium, deep) to optimize signal quality. Output is an audible Doppler signal, similar to traditional handheld Doppler devices, used by clinicians to assess peripheral vascular status and assist in diagnosing peripheral vascular disease. Benefits include a lightweight, body-worn form factor facilitating monitoring over time compared to traditional handheld probes.
