Right heart. Right information. Right now.
The trusted name in pulmonary artery catheters now delivers haemodynamic insights even faster with the FastCCO algorithm – exclusively available for the Swan-Ganz catheter.
The FastCCO algorithm fuses the trusted performance of continuous thermodilution with the rapid response of arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO) to deliver CO and SV status every 20 seconds. Providing quicker flow insights than continuous thermodilution, the FastCCO algorithm enables faster feedback for more efficient clinical decision-making.
Continuous view of cardiac function in your most complex patients
The first flow-directed Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter revolutionized haemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients.1 By providing a comprehensive haemodynamic profile, utilising continuous data, Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters track your patient’s haemodynamic status to assist your early evaluation.
The Swan-Ganz catheter, now with the FastCCO algorithm, enables CO and SV parameters every 20 seconds.
Target complex patient conditions with advanced haemodynamic parameters
The Swan-Ganz catheter with FastCCO algorithm allows continuous monitoring of the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption with these advanced haemodynamic parameters:
- Stroke volume (now SV20s with FastCCO algorithm)
- Cardiac output (now CO20s with FastCCO algorithm)
- Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2)
- Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
- Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF)
- Right ventricular end diastolic volume (RVEDV)
- Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)
- Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)*
SvO2 mixed venous oxygen saturation
Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters provide continuous monitoring of SvO2. Since SvO2 is a sensitive indicator of the patient’s status and generally precedes other indications of cardiopulmonary instability, continuous SvO2 monitoring may allow diagnostic and therapeutic decisions to be made earlier in the patient's clinical course.

Trusted performance, faster response
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, uninterrupted view of cardiac function for more proactive decision support in your most complex patients.
70% faster than current Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter technologies
Fusing the trusted performance of continuous thermodilution with the rapid response of arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO), the FastCCO algorithm delivers continuous flow insights that enable you to quickly respond to transient changes in CO.
For cardiac surgical patients, the FastCCO algorithm can deliver cardiac output values quickly upon coming off of bypass during on-pump procedures.
Individualised fluid management
The FastCCO algorithm’s flow parameter readings every 20 seconds enable continuous observation of patient responses to fluid challenges and passive leg raise tests, and allow faster optimisation of fluid management.
The fluid responsiveness test screen on the HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform allows you to quickly assess preload responsiveness by tracking changes in SV, SVI, CO or CI in response to a fluid challenge.
Comprehensive haemodynamic management
FastCCO algorithm is part of the latest software on HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform.
Also available for the modular HemoSphere platform is ForeSight tissue oximetry system, which continuously monitors oxygen saturation, noninvasively. The HemoSphere platform gives you a comprehensive view of tissue oximetry and advanced haemodynamics on one monitor so you can ensure your patient is adequately perfused.
