HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform
Smart. Innovation. The monitoring platform of the future.
HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform helps you stay ahead of critical moments. For individualized patient management across a diversity of patient profiles and care settings, HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform offers compatibility with a range of sensors and catheters: ForeSight Elite tissue oximetry sensor, Acumen IQ sensor, FloTrac sensor, Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter, Edwards oximetry central venous catheter, and PediaSat oximetry catheter.
Available with 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* before the event occurs, and provides you with insights to understand the root cause and inform a potential course of action for your patient.
HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform offers a unique visual monitoring experience with enhanced screen clarity, intuitive navigation, and responsive touch for intelligent decision support and individualized patient care.

Compatible products
With a broad portfolio of solutions the HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform offers seamless compatibility with Edwards sensors and catheters.
Interventions
Allows you to select, place, and track individualized patient response to interventions over time while providing key trending data.
Mobility
Adapts to a range of clinical environments, applications, and patient requirements, including tabletop, pole, or rack placement.
Parameters
Ability to choose from advanced hemodynamic parameters.
Modular design
For each clinical decision moment, HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform enables proactive decision support across care settings and a diversity of patient profiles.
Quick zero from cable
To zero the pressure cable you can touch the Zero & Waveform icon located on the navigation bar or press the physical zero button directly on the pressure cable.
Hot swappable battery
Enables monitoring to be resumed during and after transfer between clinical environments.
Goal positioning screen*
Allows you to monitor and track the relationship of two key parameters by plotting them against each other on an XY plane.
Graphical trend screen
Allows you to select and track monitored parameters while providing key trending data. Percent change displays current status and history of monitored parameters.
Graphical/tabular trend split screen
Displays a combination of the graphical trend and tabular trend monitoring views. This display is useful for simultaneously viewing the current status and history of selected parameters in graphical and tabular formats.
Physio-relationship screen
Depicts the balance between oxygen delivery and consumption, enabling you to identify the root cause of the imbalance.
Tabular trend screen
Displays selected key parameters and their history
in a tabular format.
Cockpit screen
Combines large, easy-to-read numbers with specific color target ranges, parameters and alarms to clearly indicate patient status.
Physiology screen
Depicts the interaction between the heart, blood, and vascular system. Continuous parameter values are displayed.
Brain screen
Displays oxygen saturation (StO2), an important indicator of oxygen levels in the brain, for a complete picture of oxygen delivery and consumption when used with the ForeSight Elite tissue oximetry sensor.

Hot swappable battery
Advanced hemodynamic parameters help guide proactive decision making in a range of clinical situations and settings so you can maintain optimal patient perfusion.
Cerebral desaturations
Research demonstrates that cerebral desaturations have been associated with post-operative neurocognitive disorders, increased ICU and hospital length of stay, increased incidence of stroke, and decreased survival1-3. HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform provides a comprehensive picture of oxygen delivery and consumption to manage moderate- to high-risk patients.
Sepsis management
Severe sepsis and septic shock are among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Access to cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) enables early detection and management of sepsis which is critical to improving survival rates and reducing the economic burden of sepsis.
Hypotension
Recent studies show associations between intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and myocardial injury — the leading cause of post-operative mortality within 30 days after surgery4. Early detection of hypotension by continuous hemodynamic monitoring can reduce a patient’s risk.
Hemodynamic instability
HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform enables access to continuous pressure and flow parameters, helping to determine patient fluid responsiveness and guide individualized fluid management targets. Proactive monitoring of stroke volume (SV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) have been shown to effectively optimize patient fluid resuscitation and guide proper fluid administration.

The HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform is compatible with the following Edwards solutions:
ForeSight Elite tissue oximetry sensor
ForeSight Elite tissue oximetry sensor delivers proven performance and precision in tissue oximetry. 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
Unlock the first-of-its-kind intelligent decision support with the minimally-invasive Acumen IQ sensor. This attaches to any existing radial arterial line and automatically calculates key parameters every 20 seconds. In addition to existing advanced hemodynamic parameters, the Acumen IQ sensor delivers Acumen HPI, a predictive monitoring parameter for hypotension.
Parameters
CO/CI | SV/SVI | SVR/SVRI | SVV/PPV | SYS/DIA/MAP | HPI | Eadyn | dP/dt
