The Thermedx FluidSmart system is a fluid management system for irrigation, distention, fluid warming, and deficit measurements. This multifunctional system can be used for a variety of procedures in gynecology and urology. The potential advantages of the continuous warmed and automated fluid irrigation system may include lowered chance of perioperative hypothermia complications and improved operating room (OR) efficiency leading to more cost savings. The Operating Room is open to alternatives that can generate real-time pressure and provide warnings prior to irrigation running dry. We feel these qualities are especially important/valuable in the Operating Room program. In addition to increased procedural effectiveness and safety, this technology can lead to improved clinical outcomes. 3.
