The INVOS System
 The
INVOS® System is the first and only
patient monitoring system commercially available in the U.S. that
noninvasively and continuously monitors changes in the regional
oxygen saturation of the blood in the brain.
The INVOS Cerebral Oximeter system consists
of disposable, single-patient use SomaSensors, an INVOS monitor
display and associated accessories.
The INVOS Cerebral Oximeter system monitors
changes in regional saturation of oxygen, or rSO2,
within a sample of blood in the cerebral cortex. Changes in INVOS
(In Vivo Optical Spectroscopy) values monitor the critical balance
between oxygen delivery and cerebral consumption.
The INVOS Cerebral Oximeter measurement
is made by noninvasively transmitting and detecting harmless, low
intensity and near infrared light through SomaSensors that are placed
on both sides of a patient's forehead.
Use of the patient monitoring system
allows medical professionals to monitor changes in cortical blood
oxygen saturation and take corrective action. Research and clinical
experience indicates that such action can prevent or reduce
neurological injuries associated with surgery and other critical
cares situations, and therefore, reduce the cost of care.
The INVOS Cerebral Oximeter system is
now available for adult and pediatric monitoring in the US and in
many international markets.
