Product Overview

HemoSonic™ real-time monitoring allows you to optimize a patient’s therapeutic management.

Comprehensive composite hemodynamic profile.
Non-invasive, atraumatic technique provides continuous, real-time hemodynamic monitoring.
Easy-to-use.
Real-time data enables you to manage patients immediately.
Uses two ultrasonic principles, Doppler and M-mode, which have been embodied into a single transesophageal probe.
Improve patient outcomes

Positioning the probe is quick and easy.

The Hemosonic™ probe features both Doppler and M-mode ultrasound transducers which act in synergy and can easily be rotated for correct positioning. It takes just a minute to insert the probe and another minute to assure proper alignment.

Pulsed Doppler transducer measures velocity.
M-mode Echography transducer measures cross section (diameter) of descending aorta.
Together they provide accurate aortic blood flow data.

Continuous and real-time hemodynamic reporting.
Get the accurate and vital information you need in record time:

Fast interpretation of changes in blood flow.
Access to left ventricular contractility.
Early detection of alterations in vascular resistance.

Product Description

The HemoSonic™ is a compact monitoring device which measures and monitors the descending aortic blood flow during anesthesia and intensive care. The device provides real-time flow, contractility and afterload data, and consists of four main components: the main console (monitor), a trans-esophageal probe, a disposable jacket and an articulated probe holder.

The monitor features an interactive, user friendly screen which displays confirmation of the correct positioning of the probe. The screen also continuously displays the parameters composing the patient’s hemodynamic profile. These include aortic blood flow, heart rate, stroke volume in the aorta, estimated cardiac output, estimated stroke volume, total systemic vascular resistances indexed to the aortic blood flow and estimated total systemic vascular resistances for the entire cardiovascular circuit, peak velocity and acceleration of aortic blood flow, and left ventricular ejection time. As a result, this non-invasive technique allows fast interpretation of changes in the blood flow, early detection of alterations in tissue perfusion, and access to left ventricular contractility.

The system’s 20 Fr. Reusable probe includes a rotatable handle, a flexible insertion tip, and ring markers indicating insertion depth. The probe is connected to the monitor via a cable connector and inserted into the esophagus either trans-orally or trans-nasally. Approved for patients with a minimum body weight of 30 pounds, the probe is immobilized throughout the procedure.

The probe itself incorporates both pulsed Doppler and M-mode ultrasound transducers, which act in synergy and can easily be simultaneously rotated inside the jacket for optimal positioning. The aortic diameter is accurately and continuously measured through M-mode echography while the pulsed Doppler transducer measures average blood flow velocity within the aortic walls.

A disposable biocompatible sterile jacket, delivered with its vacuum mounting tool, is placed over the probe and is used with an acoustic gel. The jacket helps prevent cross-contaminations between patients and ensures proper transmission of ultrasound.

An articulated arm with the probe holder, attached to OR tables and/or ICU beds, secures the probe into a fixed position close to the patients head.

Features and Benefits

Continuous and real-time hemodynamic profile
Physician can instantly manage fluids, optimize therapy including drug titration, and evaluate patient response for better outcomes and reduced costs.

Multi-parameter display
Provides a complete left ventricular hemodynamic profile including volume/flow, preload, contractility, and afterload.

Coupling of Echo & Doppler transducers
Provides for rapid and accurate positioning with a relatively short learning curve.

Aortic wall M-mode Echo detection
Controls the probe orientation toward the aorta and provides accurate blood flow measurement which takes into account aortic diameter changes due to pulsatile wall motion and effects of vaso-active medications.

Step-by-step interactive software menu
Quick and easy measurement of dependable blood flow and display of a patient’s hemodynamic profile.

20 French transesophageal probe
Allows for non-invasive, atraumatic patient monitoring with quick and easy, oral or nasal insertion, with depth markers indicating appropriate insertion.

Disposable sterile probe jacket with acoustic gel
Protects the patient from cross-contamination while providing the medium for ultrasound transmission

Measurement of stroke volume
Stroke volume is one of the best indicators of left ventricular function: it provides a dependable measurement of volume status in the normal as well as diseased heart.

Measurement of cardiac output
Cardiac output is the parameter that physicians are most familiar with in assessing hemodynamics: it provides a measurement of volume status in the normal as well as the diseased heart.

Measurement of aortic diameter
Aortic diameter provides an indicator for optimizing probe placement
Aortic diameter measurement is critical for accurate, patient-specific, stroke volume determination; it may provide a measure of intravascular volume loss.

Measurement of acceleration
Acceleration is an indicator of contractility as well as preload of the left ventricle: it has been shown to correlate well with ejection fraction.

Measurement of LVETc
LVETc is a measure of left ventricular volume status and an indicator of preload.

Calculation of TSVR
TSVR is a derived parameter used for assessing afterload or blood flow impedance in a patient.
