The PhysioFlow Enduro is a portable, battery-powered medical device used for the non-invasive measurement of cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters. Designed by Manatec Biomedical, it is specifically engineered for monitoring patients or subjects during physical exercise and in field conditions where traditional invasive methods are impractical.
- Non-Invasive Monitoring: It uses six thoracic surface electrodes to measure parameters beat-by-beat without the need for arterial lines or catheters.
Measured Parameters
The device provides a comprehensive hemodynamic profile, including:
- Cardiac Output (CO) & Cardiac Index (CI)
- Stroke Volume (SV) & Stroke Volume Index (SVI)
- Heart Rate (HR)
- Contractility Index
- Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)
- Left Cardiac Work Index (LCWI)
- Estimated Ejection Fraction (EF)
Applications
- Clinical Research: Monitoring chronic heart failure and hypertension.
- Sports Medicine: Optimizing training for elite athletes and assessing physiological limits.
- Rehabilitation: Designing personalized exercise protocols for cardiac or post-COVID recovery.
- Field Testing: Used in extreme environments, including rally car racing and aerospace medicine (centrifuge tests).
For software and data analysis, the Enduro requires a Windows-based PC (Windows 10/11) running the PhysioFlow software.

Product Prices
- New Unit Cost: Recent institutional procurement records indicate an estimated cost of approximately $20,400 USD for a complete non-invasive cardiac output and stroke volume system.
- Operating Costs: The system is designed to be “cost-effective” for daily use, requiring only 6 disposable thoracic surface electrodes per patient.
- Alternative Option (Q-Link™): For settings where portability and battery power are not required, the PhysioFlow Q-Link™ is a lower-cost USB-powered alternative that provides similar performance at a reduced price point.
