US launch of TrueVue system
Deltex Medical Group plc (AIM: DEMG), the global leader in Oesophageal Doppler Monitoring ("ODM"), is pleased to announce the launch this week of its revolutionary concept in advanced haemodynamic monitoring, the TrueVue system.
The TrueVue system comprises three distinct best-in-class advanced haemodynamic monitoring technologies on a single platform (the CardioQ-ODM+):
-
TrueVue Doppler: high-end ODM technology providing beat-to-beat imaging of cardiac output for monitoring sedated patients and easy calibration/recalibration of arterial pressure cardiac output
-
TrueVue Impedance: non-invasive, high definition impedance cardiography for monitoring awake patients, both mobile and immobile
-
TrueVue Loops: unique real-time biomarkers for early detection of hypo- and hyper-volaemia, hypo- and hyper-tension and real-time display of responses to treatment
The TrueVue system is being featured at Deltex's boothat Anesthesiology 2017, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists in Boston, MA. This is the largest anaesthesia conference in the USA and is attended by large numbers of international delegates as well as thousands of doctors from across the USA.
Use of TrueVue Impedance in the USA is subject to FDA approval: the submission (510K) has been submitted and not yet granted.
Ewan Phillips, Deltex Medical's Chief Executive, commented: 
"The launch of the TrueVue system on the CardioQ-ODM+ platform is an exciting development for the Company. It means we will now be marketing the world's first haemodynamic monitoring system which can be used across the whole patient pathway from awake, mobile outpatients of all ages through to sedated, critical care patients. The TrueVue system can be used by trainee staff, in non-critical situations, through to experienced specialists. It will also broaden the Company's addressable market and positions us to supply hospitals with all their haemodynamic monitoring requirements on a single platform."

Notes for Editors 
Deltex Medical manufactures and markets haemodynamic monitoring technologies. Deltex Medical's proprietary ODM is the only technology to measure blood flow in the central circulation in real time. Minimally invasive, easy to set up and quick to focus, the technology generates a low-frequency ultrasound signal, which is highly sensitive to changes in flow and measures them immediately. Deltex has been the only company in the enhanced haemodynamic space to build a robust and credible evidence base proving the clinical and economic benefits of its core technology, ODM which is proven to reduce complications suffered by patients after surgery and save hospitals the costs of treating those complications.
Deltex Medical's CardioQ-ODM+ platform also now provides clinicians with two further advanced haemodynamic monitoring technologies. High Definition Impedance Cardiography is an entirely non-invasive monitoring technology which creates an electrical field across the chest and measures the disruption to this field when the heart pumps blood. Pulse Pressure Waveform Analysis uses peripheral blood pressure signal analysis to give doctors information on changes in the circulation and is particularly suited to monitoring lower risk or haemodynamically stable patients.
Company goal
Haemodynamic management is now becoming widely accepted as an important major new medical modality. Consequently, the Company's focus is on maximising value from the opportunities presented as enhanced haemodynamic management is adopted into routine clinical practice around the world. The Company aims to provide clinicians with a single platform, a 'haemodynamic workstation', which offers them a range of technologies from simple to sophisticated to be deployed according to the patient's condition and skill and expertise of the user. Doing this will enable the Company to partner healthcare providers to support modern haemodynamic management across the whole hospital.
The Company is currently in the implementation phase of achieving this goal in a number of territories worldwide, operating directly in the UK, USA, Spain and Canada and through distribution arrangements in a further 30 countries.
There are over 3,400 monitors installed in hospitals around the world and around 700,000 patients have been treated to date using Deltex Medical's single patient disposable products.
