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
