## Indications for use
HemoSphere Advanced Monitor with HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor when used with the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module and Edwards Swan-Ganz Catheters is indicated for use in adult and pediatric critical care patients requiring monitoring of cardiac output [continuous (CO) and intermittent (iCO)] and derived hemodynamic parameters in a hospital environment. Refer to the Edwards Swan-Ganz catheter indications for use statement for information on target patient population specific to the catheter being used. Refer to the Intended Use statement for a complete list of measured and derived parameters available for each patient population. HemoSphere Advanced Monitor with HemoSphere Oximetry Cable The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor when used with the HemoSphere Oximetry Cable and Edwards oximetry catheters is indicated for use in adult and pediatric critical care patients requiring monitoring of venous oxygen saturation (SvO2 and ScvO2) and derived hemodynamic parameters in a hospital environment. Refer to the Edwards oximetry catheter indications for use statement for information on target patient population specific to the catheter being used. Refer to the Intended Use statement for a complete list of measured and derived parameters available for each patient population. HemoSphere Advanced Monitor with HemoSphere Pressure Cable The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor when used with the HemoSphere Pressure Cable is indicated for use in critical care patients in which the balance between cardiac function, fluid status, vascular resistance and pressure needs continuous assessment. It may be used for monitoring hemodynamic parameters in conjunction with a perioperative goal directed therapy protocol in a hospital environment. Refer to the Edwards FloTrac, FloTrac IQ and TruWave DPT sensor indications for use statement for information on target patient population specific to the sensor being used. The Edwards Lifesciences Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index feature provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient’s likelihood of future hypotensive events (defined as mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg for at least one minute in duration) and the associated hemodynamics. The Acumen HPI feature is intended for use in operating room (OR) patients receiving advanced hemodynamic monitoring. The Acumen HPI feature is considered to be additional quantitative information regarding the patient’s physiological condition for reference only and no therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) parameter. Refer to the Intended Use statement for a complete list of measured and derived parameters available for each patient population.
