TriOx^™ Pulmonary Artery Oximetry (SvO₂) Catheter

Real-time tissue oxygenation status that may help you initiate early goal-directed therapies in trauma, sepsis, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrest patients.

Available with no natural rubber latex components in a variety of sizes.
Three wavelength technology provides proven performance.
May help reduce diagnostic costs.

Overview

In response to the problems and risks associated with sepsis and septic shock, ICU Medical developed the TriOx SvO₂ Catheter. The TriOx exclusive three wavelength oximetry technology with digital filtration provides greater accuracy than two wavelength systems¹ and may help initiate early goal-directed therapies.

The TriOx SvO₂ Catheters are part of a complete line of pulmonary artery catheters offered with no natural rubber latex components in order to reduce the risk of patient latex allergy or hypersensitivity, without compromising performance.

A recent study of antilatex IgE antibodies in blood donors has shown that the prevalence of latex sensitivity may be as high as 6-12%² or up to 37 million people in the U.S. alone.

Additional benefits of using the TriOx SvO2 Catheter:

Flexibility

Available with no natural rubber latex components in a variety of sizes and lengths.

Accuracy

Filters artifact caused by cell orientation, vessel wall reflections and changes in pH
Exclusive light intensity signal helps to identify proper placement of fiber-optic tip to ensuring accurate readings
Allows clinician to optimize oxygen supply and demand in cases of severe sepsis or septic shock

Cost-Efficient

Reduces diagnostic costs by eliminating the need for clinical updates of hemoglobin (Hgb)
