Applications, Features and Benefits
Monitoring Software > Real-Time Emboli Classification Software: Embol-ADD PWD
Typical applications of the Embol-ADD are real-time monitoring of embolization during surgery, stenting and all other brain embolizing procedures.
Being aware of current embolization helps the surgeon/interventional radiologist
- adapt its intervention (e.g. be less aggressive on tissue during dissection)
- insert an arterial filter if needed,
- administer anti-coagulant or neuroprotective drugs as needed
Features of the Embol-ADDŽ:
- On-line automatic analysis of TCD monitoring files.
- Detection of high intensity transient signals (HITS) in blood flow.
- Differentiation of micro-embolic signals (MES) from artifacts.
- Differentiation of solid from gaseous emboli (91% solid vs. solid sensitivity, 88% gas vs. gas specificity).
- EEDŽ breakthrough technology for enhanced emboli visualization.
- SSRŽ technology to restore saturated Doppler signals to their original amplitudes and shapes.
Benefits to Healthcare Providers
- Fast, fully automated, time-saving data analysis and interpretation.
- Report writing time cut down to a minimum through automatic MES categorization.
- New clinical studies from re-analyzing existing TCD data.
- Early decision in stroke management.
- Improved clinical outcome.
- Increased clinical knowledge.
- Time and cost-savings.
- Extended capabilities of TCD devices.
