PORTAPRES®

>> FMS Product Brochure

Portapres is a portable Finapres technology based on an advanced non-invasive blood pressure measurement and beat to beat haemodynamic monitoring system with the capability of automatically retrieving other important haemodynamic parameters when used together with the BeatScope® software.

Besides cardiac, neurological and physiological clinical and research applications, Portapres can be used for sleep research and a wide range of pharmacological and haemodynamic research or monitoring in both ambulatory and stationary settings.

BeatScope software

The Portapres measurements can be transferred to a PC for beat to beat analysis with BeatScope to obtain brachial pressure waveforms and cardiac parameters using the ModelFlow cardiac output method.

The following data is computed for every heart beat:

• Cardiac output
  
• Stroke volume
  
• Ventricular ejection time
  
• Peripheral resistance
  
• Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure
  
• Heart rate
  
• Inter-beat interval
  
• The instant of upstroke
  
• Aortic characteristic impedance and aortic compliance

Key features:

• Real-time monitoring and control
  
• Data review and computation
  
• Data import/export
  
• Statistical analysis and summary
