The Company's manufacturing facility is in Hoxton, London and its current products are:
* LiDCOplus and PulseCO monitors: these computer-based platforms are used in the Intensive Care Unit for real-time continuous display of hemodynamic parameters including cardiac output, oxygen delivery and fluid volume (PPV% and SVV%)
* LiDCO disposables: used in conjunction with the LiDCOplus Monitor for accurate measurement of cardiac output in a minimally invasive manner
* LiDCOview: an easy-to-use graphical display of historical LiDCOplus hemodynamic data. Both clinical researchers and routine users can view beat-to-beat hemodynamic data collected with the LiDCOplus. LiDCOviewSE is the standard version of this tool and is available for free, allowing anyone to download and access data from the LiDCOplus. LiDCOviewPRO is the Professional version, allowing users to analyse, export and report the LiDCOplus data. A free trial of LiDCOviewPRO is available for evaluation purposes prior to purchase
* LiDCOlive: a software product in development for the remote display of hemodynamic monitoring parameters derived through use of the LiDCOplus or LiDCOrapid monitors
* LiDCOrapid : our new cardiac output monitor designed specifically for use in the Operating Theatre for fluid and drug management at the point of care
