Comprehensive view of your patient With a sleek and compact design, HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform offers a unique visual monitoring experience with enhanced screen clarity, intuitive navigation, and responsive touch for intelligent decision support during rapidly changing situations. Acumen IQ cuff Acumen IQ cuff unlocks Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software and provides continuous blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic parameters from a noninvasive finger cuff. Acumen IQ cuff gives you noninvasive access to calculated beat-to-beat haemodynamic information for a broad patient population, including patients in whom an arterial line would not typically be placed. Parameters-HPI I Eadyn I dP/dt I CO/CI I SV/SVI I SVV I SVR/SVRI I MAP ClearSight cuff ClearSight cuff provides continuous blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic parameters from a noninvasive finger cuff. Continuous data enables you to proactively optimise perfusion through haemodynamic management. Parameters-CO/CI | SV/SVI | SVV | SVR/SVRI | MAP ForeSight tissue oximetry sensor ForeSight system is a highly accurate, precise, and tailorable tissue oximetry system for continuous monitoring. Reliable, real-time monitoring of surgical patients provides decision support for detecting and managing hypoxic events as soon as they occur. Parameters-StO2 Acumen IQ sensor Acumen IQ sensor unlocks the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software. This first-of-its-kind predictive decision support software detects the likelihood of a patient trending towards a hypotensive event*. It also attaches to any existing radial arterial line and automatically calculates key parameters every 20 seconds, reflecting rapid physiologic changes in surgical and nonsurgical patients. Parameters-HPI | Eadyn | dP/dt | CO/CI | SV/SVI | SVV/PPV | SVR/SVRI | MAP FloTrac sensor Delivers advanced pressure and flow parameters for managing perfusion. Offers continuous insight to determine a patient s haemodynamic status. Seamlessly connects to any existing arterial catheter. Parameters-CO/CI | SV/SVI | SVR/SVRI | SVV/PPV | MAP The Swan-Ganz catheter, with the FastCCO algorithm, enables CO and SV parameters every 20 seconds Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters provide flow, pressure, and oxygen delivery and consumption parameters. With the FastCCO algorithm, CO and SV update every 20 seconds, giving you a faster, continuous view of cardiac function for more proactive decision support in your most complex patients.
