Tracks

Automatically tracks volume administration and flow rate in real time

Predictive decision support for proactive fluid management

Unlocked by Acumen IQ sensor, Acumen AFM software recommends boluses based on an algorithm that predicts fluid responsiveness using a patient's hemodynamic data and past responses to fluid administration.

fluid bolus

Provides individualized fluid recommendations

Keep patients in the optimal fluid range with individualized bolus recommendations based on patterns of fluid responsiveness. Throughout a procedure, Acumen AFM software learns from the patient’s response to each analyzed fluid bolus to optimize its future recommendations.

Automatically tracks volume administration

Acumen IQ fluid meter automatically tracks volume administration and flow rate in real time.

Fluid optimization matters

volume load

Maintaining patients in the optimal volume range is key. Insufficient and excessive volume administration are associated with complications such as GI dysfunction.1-4

Acumen AFM software provides individualized fluid recommendations, enabling you to optimize fluid administration.

Harness the power of intelligent decision support

Acumen AFM software is part of the Acumen software suite of intelligent decision support solutions. 

With access to advanced hemodynamic monitoring that provides continuous pressure and flow parameters, you gain valuable insight into the adequacy of perfusion – all displayed on HemoSphere monitor.
