Acumen Assisted Fluid Management software

afm monitor

Enable individualised fluid management with machine learning

Deliver a personalised and optimised standard of fluid management. Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) software uses machine learning to make individualised fluid recommendations so you can optimise fluid administration for your patient.

Tracks

Automatically tracks volume administration and flow rate in real time

Decision support for adaptive fluid management

Unlocked by Acumen IQ sensor, Acumen AFM software adapts to your patient by using their haemodynamic data and past responses to fluid administration.

fluid bolus

Provides individualised fluid recommendations

Keep patients in the optimal fluid range with individualised bolus recommendations based on patterns of fluid responsiveness. Throughout a procedure, Acumen AFM software learns from the patient’s response to each analysed fluid bolus to optimise its future recommendations.

Automatically tracks volume administration

Acumen IQ fluid meter automatically tracks volume administration and flow rate in real time.

Fluid optimisation matters

volume load

Maintaining patients in the optimal volume range is key. Insufficient and excessive volume administration are associated with complications such as GI dysfunction.1-4

Acumen AFM software provides individualised fluid recommendations, enabling you to optimise fluid administration.

Harness the power of intelligent decision support

Acumen AFM software is part of the Acumen software suite of intelligent decision support solutions. 

With access to advanced haemodynamic monitoring that provides continuous pressure and flow parameters, you gain valuable insight into the adequacy of perfusion – all displayed on HemoSphere monitor.
