HEMODYNAMIC MONITORING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Continuous non-invasive blood pressure, cardiac output and fluid management for moderate and low-risk surgery
CNAP® Monitor
CNAP® Monitor provides advanced hemodynamic information from the non-invasive reusable CNAP® finger sensor. It supports your Goal Directed Therapy whenever an arterial line is not indicated. Patient-friendly, easy-to-use, cost-efficient.
PREVENT HYPOTENSION
Perioperative complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI), myocardial injury (MCI) and cardiac complications are related to hypotension(1) . Using continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring can help to prevent intra-operative hypotension.
REDUCE COMPLICATIONS
Reduce postoperative complications up to 34% and infections up to 61% even in low & moderate-risk surgeries applying individualized Goal Directed Therapy.(2)

Most popular applications
Where non-invasive continuous technology improves the outcome.
The CNAP® finger sensor offers a unique combination of non-inasive and continuous blood pressure, cardiac output and dynamic fluid response parameters.
Therefore the CNAP® Monitor is the ideal tool for personalized fluid management in low and moderate risk cases.
“Full characterization of fluid responsiveness requires consideration of the type, amount and timing of fluid as well as the expected change in stroke volume. The best method of measuring fluid responsiveness is a continuous or rapidly repeatable measure of stroke volume.[…] Alternative methods for predicting fluid responsiveness include stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV), systolic pressure variation (SPV), and (in certain mechanically ventilated patients) end-expiratory occlusion test and respiratory systolic variation test.” (4)
Intraoperative hypotension may cause serious complications such as myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and death. In the postoperative period, hypotension is common, but remains widely undetected in general care floor settings, and is independently associated with myocardial injury and mortality . “Critical care patients are especially sensitive to hypotension, and the risk appears to be present at blood pressures previously regarded as normal.” (5)
Thus, if detected early enough, complications due to hypotensive episodes could be reduced or even avoided.
“Understanding intraoperative events that predict morbidity and mortality could improve perioperative care in surgical patients by preventing events or initiating treatments after adverse events.” (1)
Non-invasive CNAP® Monitor enhances perioperative monitoring by providing continuous blood pressure and advanced hemodynamic information even in low and moderate-risk surgeries. Continuous blood pressure monitoring enables hypotensive phases to be detected earlier compared with intermittent NBP monitoring, which helps to improve patient safety.(6)
A rapid change of hemodynamic status requires daily examination for individualized treatment, using functional hemodynamic tests such as Passive Leg Raising (PLR), End Expiratory Occlusion Test (EEOT) and Mini Fluid Challenge (MFC) at the bedside.
Furthermore, the complex interaction of respiration, right ventricular (RV) function and other cardiovascular factors creates a therapeutic conflict between conservative fluid management vs. hypovolemia from an early stage of COVID-19 (too wet vs. too dry).
CNAP® Monitor 500 HD provides essential feedback for functional hemodynamic tests to direct volume expansion in patients without invasive line indication:
- Supports healthcare professionals in educated hemodynamic management decisions
- Helps to guide conservative fluid management while preventing hypovolemia
- Simplifies daily examination and individualized treatment
- Quick and easy application with minimal training required
- No burden to patients
- Supports healthcare professionals in daily clinical routine
- Early recognition to prevent deterioration
CNAP® Monitor is an easy-to-use tool to upgrade your research with full hemodynamics. It is highly valued for:
- Providing continuous blood pressure and advanced hemodynamics from one sensor
- Delivering reproducible results
- Simple interfacing
- Being clinically proven and validated
EXAMPLE – application in psycholophysiology:
Blood pressure, cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance are important correlates for assessing challenge and threat in Psychophysiological Research. (7,8,9)

The continuous values come from the CNAP® finger sensor. The internal NBP cuff just provides reference values for calibration to brachial pressure at heart level.
Numerous studies across various surgical patient populations show a weighted average Bias +/- SD for mean blood pressure (MAP) of – 0,29 +/- 7,87 mmHg. (10)
Systolic , diastolic and mean blood pressure provided by CNAP® fulfill the blood pressure standard (ISO 81060-2) of BIAS 5mmHg and SD 8 mmHg.
- CNAP® could provide continuous blood pressure non-invasively in some patients, where the invasive measurement is used for BP monitoring only, without the need for blood-gas sampling
- CNAP® could be used in addition to invasive blood pressure monitoring to provide advanced hemodynamic parameters such as SV, CO and SVR.
The CNAP® HD applies a pulse contour analysis (PCA) algorithm to the non-invasive blood pressure signal (CNAP® finger sensor). The PCA calculates stroke volume (SV) from the BP waveform. Cardiac output (CO) is calculated from SV times heart rate (HR).
- CNAP® measures continuously at the finger artery.
- Calibration to brachial pressure is achieved with an integrated NBP cuff.
- After repositioning of the patient, the fingers or the hand you have to use the NBP to recalibrate the system (eliminating hydrostatic offset).
- Yes, CNAP® can be used during exercise tests, as far as the hand applied with the CNAP® finger sensor is not clenched to a fist and the sensor is kept in a constant position in relation to the heart (constant hydrostatic offset).
- However, finger movement causing changes in the setup of the finger sensor will result in artifacts.
- Use an arm sling or armrest to keep the arm in a constant position.
