TriOx^™
Central Venous Oximetry (ScvO₂) Catheter & Probe

Real-time tissue oxygenation status that may help you initiate early goal-directed therapies in trauma, sepsis, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrest patients.

TriOx offers you the choice of using either a catheter or probe.
Three wavelength technology provides proven performance.
May help reduce diagnostic costs.

TriOx ScvO2 Central Venous Oximetry Probe

Overview

In response to the problems and risks associated with sepsis and septic shock, ICU Medical has developed the TriOx ScvO₂ Catheter and Probe. The TriOx exclusive three wavelength oximetry technology with digital filtration provides greater accuracy than two wavelength systems.¹ The TriOx Probe converts most Central Venous Catheters (CVCs) into ScvO₂ monitoring catheters, allowing the clinician to scale monitoring capability to meet therapeutic goals without replacing an existing CVC.

Additional benefits of using TriOx:

Flexibility

TriOx Probe allows you to convert your existing indwelling CVC* into an ScvO₂ monitoring catheter by inserting the probe down the distal lumen of the CVC.
Available with no natural rubber latex components in a variety of sizes and lengths.

Accuracy

Filters artifact caused by cell orientation, vessel wall reflections and changes in pH.
Exclusive light intensity signal helps to identify proper placement of fiber-optic tip to ensure accurate readings.
Allows clinician to optimize oxygen supply and demand in cases of severe sepsis or septic shock.

Cost-Efficient

Reducing diagnostic costs by eliminating the need for clinical updates of hemoglobin.
