TRANSCUTANEOUS MONITORING (TCM)
Optimize ventilation while reducing blood draws
Continuous, accurate CO2 values that help titrate ventilation and deliver less invasive care through blood draw reduction.
ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY (EIT)
Assess regional lung function at the bedside
Real-time regional lung function images inform ventilation strategies to help clinicians personalize care and achieve optimal outcomes.

The Drawbacks of Blood Draws: Transcutaneous Technology Can Help
The implementation of transcutaneous monitoring in one NICU was associated with a 25% decrease in blood draws on ventilated patients.1 Learn more below about why reducing blood draws is an important initiative in neonatology.
Reducing Blood Loss in the NICU
Blood draws for lab work are well-established as one of the main drivers of anemia of prematurity leading to a high rate of transfusion in the NICU. Learn more about the problem and how transcutaneous monitoring can be part of the solution.
Pain and the Neonatal Brain: History, Outcomes, and Strategies for Improvement
Patients in the NICU are among the most delicate residents in the hospital, yet studies have shown as many as 17 painful procedures being performed on neonates each day. Many painful procedures are related to blood draws for lab tests used to monitor patients and titrate support.

EIT IN THE NICU
Real-time regional lung function monitoring at the bedside
The LuMon™ System enables clinicians to assess regional lung function in neonates continuously at the bedside without radiation exposure.
The LuMon™ System received an EC certificate in June 2020. The LuMon™ System is not currently for sale in the United States. Contact us to be notified when products become available in the US.

The LuMon™ Belts, Sentec’s textile EIT belts for neonates/infants, were clinically validated in a multi-center study on 200 neonates and infants (mean gestational age of 31±5 weeks; range: 24-42 weeks) within the European Union Horizon 2020 CRADL project, of which Sentec was part.

THE IPV-2C
Designed for hospital use and ideal for the delicate lungs of children and neonates, our IPV-2C continuously and instantaneously adjusts to maintain gentle and safe ventilation.
Sentec IPV Therapy is an efficient, safe, and well-tolerated therapy across diverse patient populations, care settings, and delivery interfaces due to a unique mechanism of action that comprehensively improves gas exchange capacity.
Gas exchange impairment in these patients is caused by three interconnected factors: secretion retention, atelectasis, and hyperinflation/air trapping.
Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation Therapy helps relieve all three causes of gas exchange impairment through airflow characteristics provided by proprietary technology.
THE IPV-1C
Designed for hospital use and ideal for the delicate lungs of children and neonates, our IPV®-2C continuously and instantaneously adjusts to maintain gentle and safe ventilation.
The IPV®-2C enhances the clinical versatility of TRUE-IPV® therapy for the NICU by providing a selectable percussive amplitude and frequency for the mobilization and airway clearance of retained endobronchial secretions, as well as the resolution of roaming atelectasis. The IPV-2C also features demand CPAP.
The IPV®-2C features a Phasitron®, our patented open-circuit technology that makes TRUE-IPV® possible. Each Phasitron® kit provides a lung protective strategy, and makes all IPV® products compatible with conventional ventilators, preventing the need to switch between different devices. IPV® devices provide a safe and versatile solution for patients requiring Lung Conditioning Therapy in the NICU and PICU.
