OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitoring

Together with the Heart Failure Management Report,* OptiVol provides essential insight into patients' clinical status

  • Proactively tracks and objectively monitors fluid changes using intrathoracic impedance measurements
  • May be used by clinicians to detect early stages of pulmonary congestion before symptoms appear
  • May help to allow for timely clinical intervention
  • Serves as an educational tool to improve adherence to prescribed treatment plan
  • Available on Medtronic CareLink® Network, enabling a check on fluid status from a patient's home
