Measure Flow in ECMO Circuits

 

Extracorporeal Monitoring

 


Ensures Optimal Perfusion

Set Pump Occlusion
The Transonic flowsensor provides a rapid and convenient method for setting pump occlusion.

Monitor Arterial Delivery throughout Long ECMO Runs
The ECMO procedure typically lasts 7 - 10 days. During this time, there can be a change in tubing compliance or pump occlusion that affects flow delivery. Continuous monitoring with the Transonic flowsensor ensures that the optimal perfusion level is maintained throughout the ECMO run.

Monitor Patency of Venous Catheter
Many ECMO centers employ a secondary venous catheter in the jugular vein to augment venous flow. Due to the low flow rates in these cannulas (often less than 100 ml/min), and the fact that they are extremely position sensitive, there is a risk of their clotting off within 24 hours. Continuous monitoring of flow in the venous catheter allows early detection of insufficient flow and helps maintain the patency of these catheters throughout the ECMO run.
