- IC-FlowTM 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-FlowTMexcites 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-FlowTM camera.
Its quick elimination from the bloodstream makes several measurements possible.
