Unlocks Acumen HPI software
Acumen IQ sensor unlocks this first-of-its-kind technology designed to help predict future hypotensive events.*
Acumen IQ sensor
Minimally-invasive predictive decision support
Acumen IQ sensor unlocks the ability to predict hypotensive events* and provides insight into the root cause of hypotension (preload, afterload, and /or contractility) with Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software. This next generation sensor is built on the foundation of the Edwards Lifesciences FloTrac sensor.
Attaches to any radial line
Acumen IQ sensor attaches to any existing radial arterial line and automatically calculates key parameters every 20 seconds.
Enables individualised patient care
Acumen IQ sensor is part of an advanced haemodynamic family of solutions that help guide individualised treatment decisions.
*A hypotensive event is defined as MAP <65 mmHg for a duration of at least one minute.
Features of Acumen IQ sensor
Acumen IQ sensor is available on the HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform. This sensor unlocks Acumen HPI software and enables you to proactively optimise perfusion using continuous blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic parameters. 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.1,2

Clinical application
Manage perfusion
Maintaining necessary peripheral perfusion requires adequate peripheral blood pressure and adequate cardiac output. Acumen IQ sensor offers advanced haemodynamic parameters and continuous blood pressure to help you monitor perfusion, and access to the Acumen HPI software which provides you insight to determine the root cause of instability.
Manage volume
Dynamic and flow-based parameters are more informative than conventional parameters in determining fluid responsiveness and may help guide individualised volume administration in patients and avoid excessive or insufficient administration.
Continuous access to pressure and flow parameters allows you to evaluate haemodynamic instability and guide appropriate treatment.3,4 When managing perfusion, stroke volume can be optimised using the patient’s own Frank-Starling curve.
Acumen intelligent decision support suite
The Acumen intelligent decision support suite offers both predictive decision support and retrospective analysis for the management of hypotension.
Acumen IQ cuff (noninvasive)
Acumen IQ cuff unlocks the Acumen HPI software while delivering continuous blood pressure monitoring and advanced haemodynamic parameters noninvasively.
Acumen IQ sensor (minimally-invasive)
Acumen IQ sensor unlocks the Acumen HPI software and automatically updates advanced parameters every 20 seconds, reflecting rapid physiological changes in patients.
Acumen HPI software
Acumen HPI software provides you with information regarding the likelihood of a patient trending towards a hypotensive event, and provides you with insights to understand the root cause and inform a potential course of action.1,2
Acumen Analytics software
Acumen Analytics software enables you to retrospectively view and analyze haemodynamic parameters, including mean arterial pressure, providing you insights into the frequency, duration and prevalence of intraoperative hypotension in your practice.
