IC- Flow

Fluorescence angiography System for ICG-Fluorescence angiography

Medical camera for Fluorescence lymph-angiography to quantify surface tissue perfusion and for display of local course of the Lymphatic System

IC-Flow^TM system consists of a Medical camera for fluorescence lymph-angiography that by using a LED light source in the near infrared (NIR) and a high sensitivity CCD sensor, enables the quantification of the surface tissue perfusion and the display of local course of lymphatic system.
The system is based on the production and observation of fluorescence of a fluorescent dye: Diagnostic Green VERDYE dye (indocyanine green).

Indocyanine Green (ICG):

The ICG is commonly used as a tracer substance in diagnostics:

Cardiac diagnostics, circulatory and microcirculatory
Diagnositics of liver function
Diagnostics in ophthalmic angiography

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a dye, fluorescent to light NIR, stable in the blood, which is not metabolized and which binds to macro-plasma molecules (albumin, lipoprotein α1).

It is eliminated very quickly by the liver (95% is eliminated from the bloodstream in 15 minutes) via the bile.

Operating principle:

ICG can be injected in any blood vessel.

ICG is bound to plasma macro-molecules remaining intravascularly.

The NIR light source Unity Chamber of IC-Flow^TMexcites the ICG through the tissues. Consequently ICG becomes fluorescent and starts to emit.

The fluorescence emitted by the ICG is filtered and detected by the CCD sensor of IC-Flow^TM camera.

Its quick elimination from the bloodstream makes several measurements possible.
