Bio-Probe Flow Transducer
When the Bio-Console® 560 System is used with the TX50 Bio-Probe® Flow Transducer the natural conductivity of the blood is used to determine actual flow rate, not an estimate.
Overview
Bio-Probe Flow Transducer
- Accurate measurement to +/- 5% of flow rate*
- Maximum 24 hour drift of less than 50 cc/min
- Unaffected by turbulence, hematocrit or temperature
* Below 1 liter/minute, accuracy is 50 cc/minute
