Patent ID: 8562537

Claim:
A method of performing an invasive cardiovascular procedure using multiple invasive sensor types, the method comprising: communicatively coupling a first invasive cardiovascular sensing component to a multi-purpose host system; communicatively coupling a second invasive cardiovascular sensing component to the multi-purpose host system; positioning at least a portion of the first invasive cardiovascular sensing component within a vessel of a patient; positioning at least a portion of the second invasive cardiovascular sensing component within the vessel of the patient; utilizing a user interface of the multi-purpose host system to control operation of the first invasive cardiovascular sensing component to cause the first invasive cardiovascular sensing component to obtain data related to a first invasive cardiovascular parameter while positioned within the vessel of the patient; utilizing the user interface of the multi-purpose host system to control operation of the second invasive cardiovascular sensing component to cause the second invasive cardiovascular sensing component to obtain data related to a second invasive cardiovascular parameter while positioned within the vessel of the patient, the second invasive cardiovascular parameter being different than the first invasive cardiovascular parameter; utilizing a first processing component of the multi-purpose host system to process the data related to the first invasive cardiovascular parameter to produce values associated with the first invasive cardiovascular parameter for display on the user interface of the multi-purpose host system; and utilizing a second processing component of the multi-purpose host system to process the data related to the second invasive cardiovascular parameter to produce values associated with the second invasive cardiovascular parameter for display on the user interface of the multi-purpose host system.
