Transit-Time Flow Measurement Improves
Endarterectomy Outcomes
Over 120,000 carotid endarterectomies are
performed each year in the United States. The value of flow measurement
in these procedures has been documented
in several medical journals. A sterile tubing Flowsensor placed on a
Javid or Pruitt/Inahara shunt safeguards brain perfusion during the procedure.
Perivascular flow measurements at the conclusion of the procedure may
identify low or turbulent flow caused by a correctable technical
error. More

Transonic receives NIH SBIR grant: “Pediatric
Cardiac Monitor for Extracorporeal Life Support"
The Transonic HT110 Flowmeter has
long been an essential component of pediatric ECMO systems. Under the
new grant, Transonic will develop a non-invasive monitor for measuring
cardiac output (CO) to assist in weaning small pediatric patients from
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after open heart surgery in the operating
room and from ECMO in the ICU setting.
The NIH scientific review states:
"There is no clinically available method to
quickly and reliably assess cardiac function at the end of CPB for
pediatic patients. This proposal has the potential to address
this need...The investigative team is excellent."

EC-IC probes now available in Asia and Europe
At this time these probes are available in 16-use
versions in the following sizes: 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm.
HQC flash
Autoclavable Flowprobe Line Expanded
Customers with HT313 Flowmeters were restricted to
just cardiac probes if they wanted to be able to use steam
sterilization. That has now changed. Effective June 1, the HQC flash
steam sterilizable Flowprobe line has been expanded to include both
vascular
probes and probes for Carotid Endarterectomies.
Please Contact Us today
to inquire about the new Flowprobes.

Flowmetry
Assisted Aneurysm Clipping. An Italian Cooperative Study

Powerful Conclusion
"Flow reduction of more than 50% of baseline
values significantly predicts ischemic complications. The innovative
role of intraoperative flowmetry is that it consents serial
quantitative recordings, corroborating or contradicting subjective
surgeon assessment about vessel flow integrity. Intraoperative
quantitative cerebral blood flow monitoring is a safe and useful
technique, fast, easy to perform and to repeat. Moreover,
flowmetry-assisted aneurysm clipping offers the surgeon useful
hemodynamic information during clipping procedures, allowing safer clip
placement, especially in the repair of complex or broad-based cerebral
aneurysms." View
