New: Access Flow Monitor (AFM)

Access management

Enhancing quality in
access management

Hand-tube

The Twister flow device disposable allows for the reversal of flow directions without having to disconnect the blood lines from the patient’s access, therby saving time without the risk of blood exposure or infection.3

Potential benefits of the new Access Flow Monitor:

  • Easy assessment of the quality of vascular access with conductivity-based technology
  • Easy detection of vascular access flow changes
  • Support of compliance with recommendations from guidelines: The European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) recommends regular monitoring by flow measurement of vascular access2
  • Easy and user guided operation
  • Direct cost savings with fully integrated and non-invasive technology
