NICO

NICO is a Windows software add-on for estimating cardiac output from a non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) channel. It is designed for workflows that collect blood-pressure data through a compatible NIBP device and need derived cardiovascular measurements. Rather than serving as a general-purpose tool, it focuses on calculating specific hemodynamic parameters from the available NIBP input.

NICO provides real-time estimates of Cardiac Output (CO), Stroke Volume (SV), and Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR). Its calculations use published and widely accepted algorithms, as described for the add-on. These outputs give users separate measures for the listed cardiac and vascular quantities while working from the same NIBP channel.

The add-on requires an ADInstruments or FMS NIBP device to provide its input. One example named for this requirement is the INL382 Human NIBP Nano System. This dependency makes NICO most relevant to users whose Windows setup already includes, or is intended to include, one of those compatible devices.

As a Windows product, NICO fits a device-connected physiological measurement category rather than a standalone blood-pressure monitor.
