Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a sensor assembly including a catheter having a catheter sheath adapted for insertion in a patient, and a catheter hub connected to the catheter sheath. An adapter is connected to the catheter hub. The adapter includes first and second ports. A first flow line extends between the first port and a pump. A sensor is positioned along the first flow line. A second flow line extends between the second port and a container for holding a calibration fluid. The adapter defines first and second separate passages. The first passage extends from the first port to an interior region of the catheter sheath. The second passage extends from the second port to the interior region of the catheter hub.
