DESIGNED TO REBALANCE OXYGEN SATURATION LEVELS IN MINUTES IN AWAKE AND BREATHING PATIENTS
Patients with acute respiratory failure who are awake and breathing spontaneously can avoid intubation and medically Required coma require for invasive mechanical ventilation.
Designed for early stage extracorporeal respiratory support treatments on alert patients who can still breathe unassisted, the ART system functions as an “artificial lung,” inserting oxygen while removing CO2 from the bloodstream, rebalancing oxygen saturation levels in minutes.
The ART system’s design is simple, making it ideal for the ICU, general medical units, and remote hospitals. Using ART is easy and minimally invasive especially when compared to ventilation, with its associated side effects, such as life threatening pneumonia. ART also addresses critical ventilator shortages during times of health crises.
How it works
- A dual lumen cannula is inserted into the jugular vein
- Blood is withdrawn using hemo - protective flow technology, resulting in a minimal drop in blood pressure and a low shear force, protecting red blood cells
- High concentrations of oxygen enrich the blood while removing CO2
- The rebalanced blood is returned via the dual - lumen cannula, correcting saturation levels and reducing the burden on the lungs
- The ART system has not yet been tested or used in humans and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the CE or other required regulatory agencies.
