When used in combination with the Swan-Ganz technology connected to a compatible Swan-Ganz catheter, the Edward Lifesciences Right Ventricular Pressure (RVP) algorithm provides the clinician with physiological insight into the hemodynamic status of the right ventricle of the heart. The RVP algorithm is indicated for critically ill patients over 18 years of age receiving advanced hemodynamic monitoring in the operating room (OR) and intensive care unit (ICU). The RVP algorithm 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 Right Ventricular Pressure (RVP) parameters.

When used in combination with the HemoSphere Pressure Cable connected to a compatible Swan-Ganz catheter, the Right Ventricular Cardiac Output (RVCO) feature provides the clinician with physiological insight into the hemodynamic status of the right ventricle of the heart. The RVCO algorithm is intended for use in surgical or non-surgical patients over 18 years of age that require advanced hemodynamic monitoring. The Right Ventricular Cardiac output provides a continuous cardiac output and derived parameters.

The Cerebral Adaptive Index (CAI) Algorithm is an informational index to help assess the level of coherence or lack thereof between Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and the Absolute Levels of Blood Oxygenation Saturation (StO2) in patient's cerebral tissue. MAP is acquired by the HemoSphere pressure cable or HemoSphere Alta Pressure Cable and StO2 is acquired by the ForeSight oximeter cable. CAI is intended for use in patients over 18 years of age receiving advanced hemodynamic monitoring. CAI is not indicated to be used for treatment of any disease or condition and no therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Cerebral Adaptive Index (CAI) Algorithm.

HemoSphere Alta Advanced Monitor with Acumen Assisted Fluid Management Feature and Acumen IQ Sensor

The Acumen assisted fluid management (AFM) software feature provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient’s estimated response to fluid therapy and the associated hemodynamics. The Acumen AFM software feature is intended for use in surgical patients ≥18 years of age, that require advanced hemodynamic monitoring. The Acumen AFM software feature offers suggestions regarding the patient’s physiological condition and estimated response to fluid therapy.
