Intraoperative Blood Flow Measurements
Transonic Medical Flowmeters are used in medical centers
around the world to give immediate, quantitative flow values during cardiac, transplant, peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular surgeries.
These measurements give the surgeon:
- Assurance of adequate flow in arteries, veins or Dacron (TM) grafts
- Early detection of technical errors.
Extracorporeal Flow Measurements
During extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a
life-preserving procedure for infants born without fully developed lungs, Transonic Flow-QC® assures that the proper amount of fluid reaches the infant. The ultrasound sterile tubing flowsensor clips around a piece of tubing in the ECMO circuit and measures the flow passing within the tubing. Thus the sterility of the circuit is maintained while volume flow is being measured.
The precision and reliability of these Transonic extracorporeal flowsensors has also brought original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) from the
USA, Germany, and Japan to our doors in order to incorporate the “Transonic Inside” their systems.
Technology for the Hemodialysis Patient
With our new Flow-QC® Hemodialysis Monitor, dialysis staffs can now directly measure recirculation in a vascular access during a hemodialysis treatment rather than waiting days for the results of blood samples. More importantly, vascular access flow, never before directly measurable, can be quantified, on-the-spot, for these patients. This exciting new technology can potentially reduce the necessity for and cost of hospital stays for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Post-Op Perfusion Monitoring
Following skin flap repair surgery physicians and nurses use the Transonic Laser Doppler Monitor
to determine that the flap has an adequate blood supply perfusing throughout and will heal properly. If the perfusion falls below a pre-set threshold, this BLF Laser
Doppler Alarm monitor will sound, summoning hospital personnel to the patient's bedside.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing)
We partner with leading pump makers,
LVAD and other manufacturers to include Transonic products 'inside" their devices to ensure accurate flows.
