UquoGuard®7 Automated CSF Management Meticulous management is required to prevent uncontrolled CSF drainage; an issue common with traditional gravity-based drip chambers. Continuous monitoring and instant alerts lower the burden of supervision, which frees up time for neurosurgical teams to focus on other patients, as well as removing concerns about CSF drainage complications. LiquoGuard®7 allows patients to ambulate sooner without having to interrupt the CSF drainage process. Early ambulation leads to faster recovery times and significantly reduces ICU costs related to staffing and length...

LiquoGuard®7 helps avoid common adverse events frequently associated with gravity-based drains, such as inadvertent under and/or over-drainage of CSF, which jeopardizes patient safety. Meticulous management of ventricular and lumbar drains is required to prevent uncontrolled CSF drainage, which is a problem inherent with traditional gravity-based drip chambers. Hospitals around the world use LiquoGuard®7, the premier automated CSF management tool, to accurately measure intracranial pressure and precisely drain CSF simultaneously. Continuous monitoring and instant alerts lower the burden of...

Gravity drip chambers cannot measure intracranial pressure while draining CSF. As such, inadvertent under and/or overdrainage of CSF poses a serious health risk to the patient. Anytime the patient moves, drainage must be stopped, and the transducer re-leveled. LiquoGuard®7 measures pressure and drains CSF simultaneously without the need to adjust stopcocks, re-zero, or re-level a transducer. LiquoGuard®7 may be set to drain CSF based on pressure or drain a specific volume of CSF each hour. Nurses no longer must decide between transducing pressure or draining CSF. They need not worry about...

When using gravity-based drains, neurosurgical teams are typically not aware of a problem with the drainage process until well after it occurs. LiquoGuard®7 is designed to continuously monitor the patient, catheter, and drain lines for problems. It is a proactive system, unlike gravity-based drains, which cannot actively monitor or detect issues. LiquoGuard®7 notifies the staff immediately if/when an occlusion occurs, there are pressure discrepancies, a catheter becomes disconnected, or there is a leak in the drainage line. Clinicians have the peace of mind their ventricular and lumbar...

Get Patients Moving to Expedite Post-Surgical Recovery Patients connected to gravity drains cannot change their position without the risk of adversely impacting the drainage process. Various studies have shown that immobile patients tend to have longer recovery times. Early ambulation improves post-surgical outcomes. An automated CSF drainage technology with smart sensors makes this possible. The drainage bag of LiquoGuard®7 is not height dependent thus reducing the potential for inadvertent under or over-drainage of CSF, a dangerous and typically underreported risk associated with gravity...

Reduce Hospital Costs CSF management is not without its share of complications. Over-drainage can lead to a subarachnoid hemorrhage, severe headaches, and even death. These issues typically prolong the patient’s ICU stay, which leads to increased costs for the hospital. Investing in a smart CSF management device like LiquoGuard®7 can help your hospital reduce ICU stays and exorbitant costs by significantly lowering the risk for CSF drainage complications. Facilities already using LiquoGuard®7 for CSF management are satisfied with their return on investment. Hospital costs are reduced by 50%...

Improved Patient Safety Lower the risk of inadvertent under and/or over-drainage by precisely controlling CSF outflow and eliminating the need to re-level a transducer. Get Patients Moving Early ambulation often leads to faster recovery times and improved patient satisfaction. Fully Automated Whether a pressure event, occluded, kinked, or disconnected catheter - the sophisticated alarm system informs you about issues when they occur. Reduce Hospital Costs Reduce by ~90% the time nurses spend managing CSF drains. LiquoGuard®7 provides an option to treat patients outside the ICU. Documented...

LiquoGuard®7 helps professionals prevent handling mistakes, which greatly improves patient safety and leads to faster recoveries “'Neither coughing, crying/screaming, unintended change of position, epileptic seizures or extreme mobility led to uncontrolled CSFlosses.” Manfred Kudernatsch, MD Medical Director Schon Klinik Vogtareuth Hospital for Neurosurgery and Epilepsy Surgery, Germany “LiquoGuard®7 was a life changer. No longer was I unable to move or did I have to call a nurse every time I wanted to sit up, lay down, go to the bathroom, or out for a walk.” Jason Kerr Neurosurgical...
