VOLUMEVIEW SYSTEM

The VolumeView set from Edwards Lifesciences in combination with EV1000 clinical platform enables the display of valuable volumetric parameters in a meaningful way. Delivered via the EV1000 clinical platform's Visual Clinical Support, the VolumeView set is able to offer you a unique, clear, visual depiction of patient physiologic status—including extravascular lung water (EVLW).

Intended for use in monitoring your acutely ill patients, the VolumeView set when used with the EV1000 monitor, provides informative volumetric parameters (EVLW, PVPI, GEDV and GEF) that can be used specifically in the treatment of pulmonary edema, acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)1. The volumetric parameters are provided via transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD).

The VolumeView set also provides valuable, continuous, calibrated hemodynamic parameters (CO, SV, SVR, and SVV) via a patented Edwards proprietary VolumeView system algorithm. This algorithm provides continuous trending between calibrations of these key hemodynamic parameters based upon shape variables. These parameters can also be calibrated through manual, intermittent transpulmonary thermodilution.

The VolumeView set is comprised of the VolumeView sensor, the VolumeView femoral arterial catheter and the VolumeView thermistor manifold.

Critically ill patients often deal with imbalances of oxygen delivery and consumption which can lead to organ dysfunction or possibly death.
