Navigator™ - A Closer Look

How it Works

Navigator™ connects to, and receives data from conventional monitors, and uses proprietary algorithms to create its unique graphical display. Navigator™ has been developed to support all of the most commonly used bedside and cardiac output monitors on the market. To work, it must be connected to a bedside monitor and be receiving MAP, CO, and RAP. Navigator™ can optionally be connected to a Cardiac Output monitor if continuous CO is being measured.

Clinical Benefits

• Improves hemodynamic management and reduced incidence of undesirable circulatory states
• Provides clinical decision support to clinicians
  Enables teams of clinicians to implement targeted circulatory therapy easily and consistently over prolonged periods
• Provides continuous assessment of the patient’s position against targets and monitors the effects of interventions in real time
• Incorporates the physician’s goals with real-time patient data enabling nurses to work autonomously and safely according towards a target zone
• Enables a more rational methodical approach by minimizing the need for clinicians to perform calculations complex on-the-fly
• Is the only product that measures heart performance, indicates the need for inotropes and lusitropes, and measures their effect
• Is the only product that has a volume state measure, indicates the need to manipulate volume, and measures the effect

Features

• Can be set up to receive data from all of the most commonly used bedside and hemodynamic monitors
• Touch screen and clearly readable display for easy bedside use
• Provides a real time view of the patient position
• Enables targeting of pressure and flow variables (MAP and CO)
• Easy to connect to supported devices and set up new patients
