PVI® is part of the upgradable Masimo Rainbow SET® platform, the first and only technology to noninvasively monitor blood constituents and fluid responsiveness that previously required invasive procedures.
Clinical Applications
When used with other clinical variables, PVI may help clinicians assess fluid status and help determine treatment options.
- > Fluid administration is critical to optimizing patient status.1
- > Traditional methods to guide fluid administration often fail to predict fluid responsiveness.2
- > Newer methods may accurately predict responsiveness but are invasive and costly.3
"SpHb and PVI have been important improvements for both the department and our patients. The ability to track hemoglobin and fluid volume in real-time allows us to be more precise in our clinical routine."
