ABSTRACT:
A catheter position indicator for use with leveling devices adapted for use in hemodynamic monitoring. The indicator includes a radio transparent sheet material containing a plurality of spaced apart radio opaque material portions. Also included is a means for fastening the sheet material to a human body. An X-ray may be taken so that the location of a catheter may be determined in relation to the radio opaque portions of the radio transparent sheet material. Once the location of the catheter is determined a simple bubble level device may be utilized to bring a hemodynamic transducer assembly into level with the inserted catheter.
