Transcription of The Edwards FloTrac System FAQ
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
How does this technology work?The FloTrac System , consisting of the Edwards Vigileomonitor and the FloTrac sensor, uses a clinicallyvalidated algorithm to provide continuous cardiacoutput (CCO), stroke volume (SV) and stroke volumevariation (SVV) in real-time. The FloTrac algorithmutilizes arterial pressure, age, gender, and body surfacearea to calculate SV. The patient-specific SV is thenmultiplied by pulse rate to provide CCO. Patient-specific SV is updated as fast as every 20 can I rely on the data from thissystem with no manual calibration?One of the variables in the FloTrac algorithm accountsfor changes in compliance and resistance (vasculartone). The conversion factor Khi is a multivariatepolynomial equation which incorporates factors suchas the standard deviation of mean arterial pressure,skewness and kurtosis of the arterial waveform, andlarge vessel compliance as estimated by patientdemographics to assess peripheral vascular tone.
