• Less invasive, easily connects to an existing arterial catheter—enabling nurse-driven care
• Automatically calculates key flow parameters every 20 seconds
• Recognizes and adjusts for hyperdynamic and vasodilated patient conditions
• Broader patient monitoring through expanded patient algorithm database
• Enables you to make a differential diagnosis leading to either a volume or cardiovascular intervention (preload, afterload and contractility)
• Provides CO/CI, SV/SVI, SVV and SVR/SVRI

The FloTrac System Algorithm

The FloTrac sensor uses a sophisticated algorithm to calculate a robust set of parameters to give for clarity into your patients changing condition. The latest enhancement evolves the algorithm using an expanded patient database that informs the algorithm to recognize and adjust for more patient conditions – including hyperdynamic conditions.

EV1000 clinical platform and Vigileo monitor

The FloTrac sensor may be used with the EV1000 clinical platform or Vigileo monitor to continuously measure and display key flow parameters. The EV1000 clinical platform presents the physiologic status of the patient in an entirely new, intuitive way, and also works with the PreSep oximetry catheter.

Conventional hemodynamic monitoring parameters (HR, MAP, CVP, and PAOP) are often insensitive and sometimes misleading in the assessment of circulating blood volume. By monitoring additional flow directed parameters, the clinician is able to gain insight to guide fluid management during changing patient conditions

 Findings from Outcome Studies:

10% Reduction in Hospital Length of Stay1

54% Reduction in Total Complications1

71% Reduction in Patient Complications2

A 2011 meta-analysis of 29 studies concluded that a preemptive strategy of hemodynamic monitoring and intervention significantly reduces surgical morbidity and mortality3
