The Bowman Perfusion Monitor® runs continuously and displays perfusion data from the previous 1-10 days. In the automatic (autopilot) mode, the monitor periodically performs in situ calibration of the tissue thermal properties according to a pre-determined set of rules. The rules may be changed for particular situations. Absolute tissue perfusion, as well as tissue temperature, is displayed graphically as a function of time throughout the measurement sequence. Data files may be reviewed, and the monitor screens can be printed onsite using the built-in printer.
MONITOR FEATURES
- Detects changes in blood flow in real‐time
(perfusion measured from 0 to 200 ml/100g-min)
- Offers valuable diagnostic and prognostic info
- Helps formulate and target therapy
- Bedside monitoring of perfusion, temperature, and thermal conductivity
- Detects vasospasm in comatose patients
- Detects cardiac induced brain vessel pulsatility
- Helps guide pharmacologic interventions
- Identifies patients at risk for impending ischemic events via absolute perfusion measurements
- Assists in detecting impaired autoregulation and
changes in vascular resistance
- Increases understanding of pathophysiology
- User-friendly interface with easy-to-use buttons
- Requires no user calibration
- 6.4-inch TFT display
- Prints tabular data and waveforms
- IV pole mountable
- Programmable visual/audio alarm
- Streams measurements via RS‐232 that can be
collected by multimodal monitoring data systems*

ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY
While laser doppler measurements assess relative flow, the Bowman Perfusion Monitor quantifies tissue perfusion in absolute units. If there is no tissue blood flow, the Bowman Perfusion Monitor displays a perfusion value of 0.
ABSOLUTE SIMPLICITY
The Bowman Perfusion Monitor relies on a minimally invasive thermal diffusion probe that measures tissue blood flow in the spherical volume surrounding the distal tip. The 19-gauge diameter (~1 mm O.D.) flexible probe can be inserted into any soft tissue at the site where quantitative knowledge of perfusion is desired.
