SonoSite rolls out noninvasive fluid management system

Bothell, Wash.-based SonoSite has released a new product for monitoring patients' hemodynamic profiles in the hospital. Called the BioZ Cardio Profile, the system offers anesthesiologists a new tool for continuous, noninvasive fluid management.

The system uses impedance cardiography technology, traditionally used to treat patients with heart failure and hypertension, according to the company. With the system, anesthesiologists can maintain optimal blood volume during surgical procedures.
