The New Standard

CompuFlo Instrument Uses DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing Technology^® Systems ^1-4

Subjective tactile feel + objective DPS - differentiates between true loss and false loss of resistance
25% reduction in procedure time for labor and delivery epidurals
Clinicians can successfully perform epidural procedures with fewer attempts
Detects subtle pressure changes 4 times a second, making it extremely responsive to minor pressure changes
Precisely controls the flow rate of fluid with real-time feedback, based on exit pressure at the needle tip
The CompuWave Display shows the pulsatile waveform found in the epidural space, again confirming needle and catheter placement
