Macawi SERA enables cardiorespiratory monitoring and personalization of mechanical ventilation by using non-invasive skin-electrodes. The simplicity in design and CE-certification results in an easy-to-use respiratory accessory device preventing time consuming hardware integration.
Key Monitored Parameters:
- heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV)
- respiratory rate (RR)
- corresponding waveforms
- breath-by-breath values associated with the patient’s breathing effort are provided in a real-time and continuous setting
system components:
- skin electrodes
- best of class signal amplifier
- smart algorithm development
- plug & play hardware design
- flexible interface connector
- GUI software available
Macawi SERA provides the opportunity to intercept the patient’s own respiratory drive providing valuable information about the patient’s needs, condition and next steps in therapy and eventually enable fully personalized and synchronized respiratory care.
Key applications of sEMG monitoring:
- Cardiorespiratory monitoring: Provides more accurate data than traditional chest impedance, minimizing false readings.
- Apnea of prematurity (AOP): differentiates between obstructive and central apnea, aiding in proper treatment.
- Monitoring therapy effects: assesses responses to interventions like caffeine therapy and oxygen therapy.
- Weaning support: tracks diaphragm activity to guide respiratory support reduction.
- Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA): Helps detect and reduce PVA, improving comfort and reducing ventilation time.
- Proportional ventilation support and triggering applications
an CE-certified medical device for respiratory monitoring.
Macawi SERA will be available as a CE-certified accessory to connect to mechanical ventilators and patient monitoring equipment. A prototype device is available for research and integration activities and includes all necessary documentation and GUI software.
