HF-Dex™ Analysis for Health
HF-Dex™ Analysis for Heart Failures
Motivate your patients to improve treatment compliance. Go beyond the scale with HF-Dex, the newest technology for point-of-care heart failure fluid assessment.
Objective Metric
- HF-Dex is a measure of fluid status in heart failure patients
- HF-Dex provides a consistent and objective metric, free of inter-observer error
- HF-Dex tracks fluid retention and loss that are not visible with weight alone
Validated Results
- Fluid volume measurement technology validated with gold standard dilution techniques1-6
- BIS correlates highly with implantable pulmonary artery pressure monitor7
Track Success
- Know your patient’s fluid status
- Work with your patients to set healthy targets
- Track changes in fluid status over time
- Identify opportunities for improvement and highlight success
