  • Continuous in-line monitoring of the patient’s blood parameters allows the operator to quickly react to changes and improve patient outcomes
  • Accurate sensing technology to support the implementation of Goal-Directed Perfusion (GDP) therapy through the Essenz Patient Monitor

Intuitive

  • Intuitive user interface, with easy parameter, sensors and settings configuration, leading to a short learning curve
  • Cockpit provides one central view to control the device and check all perfusion and patient parameters in the right place at the right time, minimizing distractions
  • Measured values are automatically transferred to the Essenz Patient Monitor, enabling the perfusionist to maintain accurate perfusion procedure records

Flexible and Efficient

  • Integration in the Essenz cockpit means there is no need for external monitors and holders that may obstruct the perfusionist's view during the procedure
  • Ready-to-Go system does not require any calibration procedure to set the device measurements, allowing the perfusionist to save time during device set up, especially in emergency cases
  • No need to purchase different sensors for adult and pediatric procedures, as one sensor fits all cuvettes sizes
