The first commercially available continuous
arterial blood gas monitor was developed at Southwest Research Institute
(SwRI). This medical device uses an indwelling radial artery catheter
with fiber optics to measure pH, pCO2, and pO2.
To complete this product development in less than a year, the Institute
assembled a multidisciplinary team of electrical engineers, computer
scientists, industrial designers, mechanical engineers, and optical
physicists. SwRI assembled 20 preproduction prototypes using Good
Manufacturing Practices for clinical trials and evaluation of the
monitor.
