Why would a surgeon use FlowXL during surgery?

FlowXL provides quantitative flow measurements that help surgeons verify vessel patency and confirm anastomotic success before closing. By revealing flow restrictions that may not be visible, it supports more informed intraoperative decisions and can help reduce graft failure and the need for reintervention.

How many flow channels does FlowXL support?

FlowXL supports two flow channels as standard.

What are the mounting or physical configuration options for FlowXL?

FlowXL can be set up in several ways to fit the operating room environment, including a tabletop configuration, IV pole mounting, or as part of a fully integrated mobile cart system. The integrated cart includes a compact base, storage drawer, and a secondary rotating surgeon display for easy viewing in the operating room.

Can FlowXL data be documented and stored?

That depends on the software configuration. QuickFlow allows users to capture and annotate snapshots and print or export them via USB, but it does not store patient records. AdvancedFlow adds the ability to save patient data, capture recordings, create annotated reports, and export patient records.

Does FlowXL come with its own Flowprobes or sensors?

FlowXL is used with Transonic’s application-specific Flowprobes and tubing Flowsensors, which are selected separately based on the surgical application. Transonic offers a wide range of compatible probes and sensors to support different vessel sizes and procedures.

How do I order or customize a FlowXL system for our operating room?

FlowXL is a configurable system that can be tailored to your operating room and surgical workflows. Software options, mounting configurations, display setups, printer options, and compatible Flowprobes are customizable based on your needs. Contact Transonic for availability and purchasing details in your region.

Transonic Flowmeters: FlowXL

The Newest Addition to Transonic’s Gold-Standard Transit-Time Flowmeters

Surgical complications — like premature graft failure due to unseen flow restrictions— can negatively affect patient outcomes and the hospital’s reputation. Any surgical procedure whose basis is to augment, restrict, or create new flow pathways should involve quantitative flow measurements to verify intraoperative flow rates and to inform the surgeon’s clinical impressions.

Intraoperative volume flow measurements with the FlowXL, Transonic’s newest transit-time ultrasound flow measurement system, give the surgeon peace of mind prior to closing and helps the surgeon ensure the best possible outcome for their patient.

The FlowXL is currently only for sale in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and select countries in Asia.

The FlowXL is a standalone, touchscreen Flowmeter used during surgery with Transonic’s Flowprobes to measure, display, and document absolute volume flow and other derived flow parameters in blood vessels and ducts. It is now even easier to use in a new versatile, configurable system designed to suit all user needs. QuickFlow or AdvancedFlow options allow the user to choose the software functionality that fits their workflows.
