Intended Use
The AureFlo Monitor is intended for use with Transonic Systems' HT300-Series-FT Surgical Flowmeters. These Flowmeters are intended for use with adult and pediatric patients for measurement of blood or liquid volume flow with Transonic perivascular Flowprobes on major and peripheral arteries, veins and ducts; on non-aerated synthetic vessel grafts; where surgery is medically indicated; intraoperatively, rather than in chronic implant; at intraoperative sites which admit and retain ultrasonic couplant; with minimal vessel manipulation or constriction (to avoid vessel spasm); where application does not unnecessarily lengthen surgical procedure. Measurement of blood or perfusate volume flow with sterile tubing Flowsensors on flexible tubing specific to the flowsensor (never on arteries, veins) and for non-aerated media which are transparent to ultrasound.
Device Story
AureFlo Monitoring System provides continuous intraoperative measurement/display of absolute volume flow. Inputs: ultrasonic signals from perivascular Flowprobes or sterile tubing Flowsensors; optional ECG signal. Operation: proprietary analog transit-time front end processes ultrasonic signals; FlowTrace software calculates mean flow, pulsatile index (PI), and D/S ratio (with ECG). Output: real-time waveform display on touch-screen monitor; patient data storage/documentation. Used in operating rooms by surgeons/clinicians. Benefits: real-time hemodynamic monitoring during surgery (e.g., CABG) to assess graft/vessel flow, aiding clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness established via bench testing, including physical testing, visual examination, and compliance with IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment) and CISPR 11 (electromagnetic compatibility) standards.
Technological Characteristics
Ultrasonic transit-time technology; 1 or 2 channels; proprietary analog transit-time front end with post-processing circuitry; 15" LCD touch-screen display; Windows XP OS; connectivity via external memory for data export; sterilization not applicable (device is a monitor/console).
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients undergoing surgery requiring intraoperative measurement of blood or liquid volume flow in major/peripheral arteries, veins, ducts, non-aerated synthetic vessel grafts, or flexible tubing circuits. Contraindicated for chronic implantation, aerated media, or use on arteries/veins with tubing Flowsensors.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cardiovascular blood flowmeter is a device that is connected to a flow transducer that energizes the transducer and processes and displays the blood flow signal.

#### Device Description
In accordance with section 510(k) for the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Transonic Systems Inc. intends to introduce into interstate commerce the Transonic Systems AureFlo Monitoring System. The device is a versatile monitoring system to continuously measure, display, record and document absolute volume flow and other derived parameters. It is used during surgery with Transonic Flowprobes to measure and display blood flow in vessels. It can also be used with Sterile Tubing Flowsensors to measure and display flow of fluids through tubing circuits. AureFlo's flexible integrated system can be set up in a variety of configurations. A stand-alone HT300-Series flowmeter can be upgraded to work with Flow Trace® software. The system can also be set up on any operating room cart with an optional monitor stand:
The display panel is an Intel® Pentium M® CPU touch-screen computer/monitor with Microsoft Windows XP®. The computer/monitor's manual can be accessed by selecting "Help" on the Windows Start Screen. FlowTrace® Software works exclusively with HT300-Series-FT Flowmeters to provide a real-time waveform display of volume flow, mean flow and Pulsatile Index (PI). During CABG surgery, connection with an ECG signal allows for an on-screen ECG display, diastolic/systolic shading of coronary graft waveforms and calculation of a D/S (diastolic/systolic) Ratio.
