Know Your Patient's Fluid Volumes
Differentiate between fluid and tissue-related weight changes.
Cardiology
Know your patient’s fluid volumes and track changes over time to identify the optimal fluid range for your patient.
Objective Measure of Fluid Volume
Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure or chronic heart failure (CHF), affects ~26 million people globally. Current monitoring technologies such as weight scales or implantable pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) monitors are either inaccurate or require invasive procedures.
The SOZO® Digital Health Platform with HF-Dex™ offers a fast, accurate, and non-invasive measurement of fluid burden to better monitor and manage heart failure patients at the point-of-care.

HF-Dex Analysis for Heart Failure
ImpediMed’s sophisticated BIS technology ensures high quality, objective fluid volume measurements, every time.
- HF-Dex heart failure index provides a measure of fluid status
- Total Body Water (TBW) volume accounts for all of the water in the body.
- Extracellular Fluid (ECF) volume includes the water outside of cells.
- Intracellular Fluid (ICF) volume includes the water inside of cells.
- Weight
Fluid Volume and Heart Failure
Reduced cardiac function in heart failure patients leads to a buildup of extracellular fluid. The optimal fluid volume can vary from patient to patient and change with disease progression.
