Medtronic TX50 Bio-Probe™ Flow Transducer Advanced Cardiopulmonary Flow Monitoring

The Medtronic TX50 Bio-Probe™ Flow Transducer is a high-precision medical device engineered to deliver real, accurate blood flow measurement during extracorporeal procedures. Specifically designed for use with the Medtronic Bio-Console™ 560 Speed Controller System, this reusable adult flow probe provides clinicians with unparalleled accuracy, stability, and dependability in the most demanding surgical environments. Unlike conventional flow sensors that rely on indirect estimation, the TX50 uses direct blood conductivity measurement, ensuring that perfusionists and surgical teams have reliable real-time data to optimize patient outcomes.

Key Benefits of the Medtronic TX50

Unmatched Accuracy

The Medtronic TX50 delivers ±5% accuracy across its full flow range, giving cardiac surgeons and perfusionists absolute confidence in critical perfusion measurements. This level of precision minimizes risk and supports safer, more effective patient management.

Minimal Drift for Continuous Reliability

Engineered with Medtronic’s advanced sensor technology, the TX50 ensures drift less than 50 cc/min over a 24-hour period, even under continuous operation. This guarantees stable performance and reduces the need for recalibration, allowing clinicians to focus on the patient rather than device adjustments.

 Resistant to Clinical Variability

The TX50 flow transducer maintains its performance even under challenging clinical conditions. Variables such as turbulence, hematocrit changes, or blood temperature fluctuations do not affect the probe’s accuracy, making it a dependable choice in diverse surgical settings.

Reusable Adult Flow Probe

Built for sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the TX50 is a reusable adult transducer that reduces disposable costs without compromising performance. Hospitals and surgical centers benefit from long-term reliability and consistent results across multiple procedures.

FDA & CE Certified Safety and Compliance

The Medtronic TX50 is FDA-cleared (Class II device, Product Code: DPT) and CE-marked, ensuring it meets the strictest regulatory standards for safety and clinical performance. This makes it a globally trusted solution in cardiac surgery and extracorporeal circulation procedures.Clinical Applications
