Uses Ultrasonic Light tagging to isolate and monitor an area of the tissue the size of a sugar cube under the skin....monitors the oxygen in a portion of the brain...can be used in the operating room, nuero critical care, trauma units, etc....it can also monitor other organs as well...looking in to your brain with light....BD
Ornim, Inc. is developing innovative solutions for non-invasive monitoring of vitalsigns of vital organs. Its breakthrough technology enables localized and quantitative measurements of physiological parameters within specific tissue regions. Ornim’s first application, Targeted Oximetry™, enables monitoring of oxygen saturation in deep tissues, in particular in the brain.
The Ornim CerOx is simple and easy to use. It consists of a stand alone bedside unit that contains both electronics and optics required for measurement. This Monitor Unit provides a user friendly graphical display of current and historical patient data from two sensors simultaneously. The Monitor Unit is connected via electronic and optic cables to the sensors. The sensors are coupled to the skin using a single use adhesive.
