About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

LivaNova Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for B-Capta, the New In-Line, Blood-Gas Monitoring System Integrated Into the S5 Heart-Lung Machine

Intuitive, optical-based technology system now available around the world

LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today announced it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for B-Capta®, the new in-line, blood-gas monitoring system integrated into the market-leading S5® heart-lung machine (HLM). The system is designed to easily and accurately monitor arterial and venous blood gas parameters even during long and complex pediatric and adult cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. B-Capta, which received CE Mark in May 2020 and completed a successful limited commercial release in Europe, will now be available globally.

B-Capta’s innovative sensing technology provides accurate and continuous measurements that allow the perfusionist to quickly react to parameter changes. The system’s intuitive user interface reduces set-up time, aligning parameters to those of the hospital’s Laboratory Blood Gas Analyzer (ABL) and includes accurate oxygen partial pressure (pO2), a key measurement when performing Goal-Directed Perfusion (GDP).

“B-Capta significantly extends the in-line, blood-gas monitoring options available to our customers for continuous monitoring of key patient physiological parameters consistent with clinical guidelines during extracorporeal life support procedures,” said Marco Dolci, LivaNova Senior Vice President, Global Operations and R&D. “Now integrated into our world-leading S5 HLM, the optical-based technology used for B-Capta provides accurate and reliable monitoring of patient blood gas parameters.”

Other advantages of B-Capta include:

  • A “ready-to-go” set-up, meaning the device does not require calibration at the beginning of the procedure, which is especially beneficial during emergency cases.
  • Visual and audible indicators for when parameters fall outside of thresholds selected by the user.
  • Integration into the S5 HLM, eliminating the need for additional external monitors and providing an unobstructed view for the perfusionist. Plus, all patient and procedure parameters remain in the same location, which improves the overall workflow and reduces stress levels felt by perfusionists during procedures.
  • Arterial and venous sensors that fit all disposable cuvette sizes, allowing the perfusionist to use the same sensor for both adult and pediatric procedures.

“The launch of B-Capta reinforces our strategic direction, furthers our partnership with perfusionists and proves why we are the leaders in the extracorporeal circulation space,” said Paul Buckman, LivaNova President, North America. “B-Capta is a key enrichment to our S5 HLM platform, and the first of a number of new innovations our customers can expect from us.”

LivaNova also received 510(k) clearance for its S5 PROTM HLM, an upgrade of the world-renowned heart-lung machine that features B-Capta as a primary component, along with a new level sensor and improved software with a new alarm system.
