Majelco’s HEMOPTiX is a simple, real-time, accurate, low cost, disposable device that measures the amount of surgical blood loss in OR suction canisters. Using proprietary optical technology, HEMOPTiX is able to determine the concentration of hemoglobin (the oxygen carrying molecule in red blood cells) and the volume of the fluid in OR suction canisters. This data can then be used to calculate patient blood loss which is especially useful in MBLS, where advanced patient monitoring is not used. With the availability of HEMOPTiX blood loss measurements, anesthesia care providers can avoid unnceccesary blood transfusions and over infusion of IV fluids which will result in better patient outcomes, decreased lengths of hospital stay and significant hospital cost savings.
