Description

Giving you insight when it matters most

The Argos™* monitor, powered by the Multi-Beat Analysis (MBA™*) algorithm, analyzes multiple heartbeats from the blood pressure signal. With patients in cardiogenic shock and heart failure in the ICU, the presence of arrhythmia or low cardiac output does not change the accuracy performance of the Argos™* monitor.1,2

Features

Accurate noninvasive hemodynamic parameters

  • MBA™* algorithm delivers reliable measurements, clinically acceptable trending accuracy†,‡,1,3
  • Plugs into the patient’s existing arterial line instead of using separate pressure transducer2

Easy to use2

  • Single cable connection to the arterial line
  • Compatible with most multi-parameter monitors
The Argos™* monitor is compatible with multi-parameter monitors.

The Argos™* monitor provides the following 10 parameters:

  • CO (cardiac output)
  • CI (cardiac index)
  • SV (stroke volume)
  • SVI (stroke volume index)
  • SVRI (systemic vascular resistance index)
  • SVR (systemic vascular resistance)
  • PPV (pulse pressure variation)
  • MAP (mean arterial pressure)
  • BP (blood pressure)
  • HR (heart rate)
The Argos™* monitor offers advanced hemodynamic monitoring technology.

The insight you need in your toughest patient populations1

Consistent accuracy with:

  • Arrhythmia patients4
  • Low cardiac output4
The Argos™* cardiac output monitor detects changes in a patient’s hemodynamic status.

The Argos™* cardiac output monitor is backed by the strength of Medtronic.

The Argos™* cardiac output monitor is a pivotal addition to the comprehensive acute care and monitoring portfolio.

It’s part of more than just a suite of products. It’s a commitment supported by our dedicated team of representatives, as well as comprehensive training and education for your entire team.
