Company & history
Its first non-invasive beat-to-beat blood pressure monitor was first introduced in the late 1970s. This technological breakthrough was immediately adopted by leading researchers and clinicians in major medical institutions and space agencies around the world. FMS has already successfully introduced its third generation of non-invasive beat-to-beat hemodynamic monitors, which are capable of monitoring up to 15 different cardiac parameters, and its products are being used in over 45 countries. Improvement of these non-invasive techniques and methods is a continuous process at FMS. The head office of Finapres Medical Systems is located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

FMS was established in 2002 as the spin off of the TPD Biomedical Instrumentation R&D activities of TNO. TNO was engaged in research and development of methods and instruments for medicine and bio-sciences, among others in the properties and dynamics of the cardiovascular system. This resulted in the development of the Finapres® technology, a method for the most accurate and robust continuous non-invasive measurement of finger blood pressure, and Modelflow® (patented by FMS), a model based computation of cardiac output.
More than 30 years…..
FMS builds on more than 30 years experience in non-invasive beat-to-beat continuous blood pressure monitoring. The original equipment has evolved from the Ohmeda Model 2300 to the current Finometer® and Portapres® models.
