Patients are suffering avoidable cardiovascular complications in hospital…
Growing clinical study evidence has exposed substantial complication rates in surgery and intensive care caused by preventable cardiovascular instability
Complications include kidney, heart and brain injury and death
- Acute kidney injury and myocardial injury strongly associated with low blood pressure, Salmasi et al 2017 https://doi.org/10.1097/aln.0000000000001432
- Mortality associated with low blood pressure, Stapelfeldt et al 2017 https://doi.org/10.1213/ANE.0000000000001797
Our solution
The Directed Systems solution helps anesthesia professionals monitor their patients during surgery, helping them assess when hypotension is likely to happen, and giving them the information they need to take the right actions to stop it happening and to avoid the dangerous complications for their patients.

- Cloud analytics collects and analyses customer patient data for clinical quality improvement and research
How it works
- FDA-cleared diagnostic software-as-medical device installed
on medical tablet PC - Connects to patient monitor through digital USB or
network connections - Streams blood pressure waveform signal from the patient monitor
on A-lines with standard transducer - Clinician-set targets for mean arterial pressure (MAP)
- Processes data through our smart algorithms:
- Advanced signal quality analysis
- High-quality, artefact-free information
- Cumulative hypotension times at different MAP thresholds
- Changes in cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance derived from the blood pressure waveform
- Innovative visualizations in a highly intuitive user interface, with minimal training needed
- Assists anesthesia professionals optimize cardiovascular care moment-to-moment during procedures and within targets
