EigenFlow 2 Enhancing ECMO Training

TECHNICAL SPECS

Introduction At the forefront of new medical simulators, EigenFlow addresses the need for high quality ECMO simulation. Training nurses and respiratory therapists can be very challenging. ECMO Specialists must be attentive to even the slightest changes in the oxygenator circuit, be able to quickly evaluate problems, and take corrective actions. Until now, an ECMO educator was present in the sim environment, manipulating the circuit in the presence of the trainee. As institutions began to develop their own ECMO simulations many realized that higher-fidelity simulation would not be possible...

ELSO Registry January 2016 Since the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, ECMO has seen an uptick in use since then. More adult programs than ever are wanting to have their ECMO units for contiuous therapy for respiratory and cardiogenic shock. With the advent of ECPR protocol and the FDA’s reclassification of ECMO for long term use to Class II from Class III, ECMO therapy is being prescribed now more than ever.

EigenFlow 2 EigenFlow is a multifunction wireless ECMO simulator ideal for in situ training of perfusionists and ECMO specialists. Simply interpose the EigenFlow into your existing adult or pediatric ECMO circuit and remotely simulate thrombi, line obstruction, air emboli, hypovolemia, and changes in pulmonary and cardiac function. At the heart of EigenFlow is an intuitive iOS interface available for free from the App Store. Rather than tethering control of the EigenFlow to desktop computers, we developed an intuitive iPhone/ iPad app that wirelessly controls the EigenFlow. With one hand...

ECMO TRAINING REDEFINED 8

DESIGN We’ve taken the complexities of ECMO training and boiled them down to only the bare essentials: thrombosis, air entrainment, cannulation, and hypovolemia. Next, we asked ourselves, how can we make ECMO training as simple as launching an app on your phone? It’s simple. We began with an elegant design that is beatiful from the inside and out. Simplicity was one of the foundations to the creation of EigenFlow. From the CPC quick connect adapters, to using one port for both air entrainment and hypovolemia scenarios. EigenFlow can quickly get you to the next scenario and still leave your...

CONNECTIVITY EigenFlow can easily connect to any ECMO circuit (pediatric or adult, centrifugal or roller pump). Select two locations on your ECMO practice circuit that you would like to manipulate pressures (usually pre and post oxygenator), splice the circuit, and interpose EigenFlow with our CPC quick connect adapters. Hypovolemia and air entrainment are connected via a small hose to any port on your circuit. Once your hoses are connected from the ECMO circuit to EigenFlow, launch the EigenFlow app and you will have complete wireless control of your ECMO circuit up to 100 feet with...

EigenFlow can be connected to any place along your ECMO circuit that you would like to manipulate pressures. For most simulations we recommend configuring EigenFlow for two locations. These recommendations are illustrated in detail in our user manual. For cannulation connections, the 3-Dmed® Pediatric ECMO Cannulation Kit is available to order (seen below)

SCENARIOS EigenFlow comes with 12 pre-written adult and 7 pre-written pediatric scenarios that can be used by your ECMO team to formalize your training. Each scenario comes with a background history of each patient as well as a state diagram detailing a scenario progression. Here is a list of the following scenarios: 1. High Post-Oxygenator Pressure 2. High Pre-Oxygenator Pressure 3. High Better Bladder Pressure 4. High Post-Oxygenator Pressure 5. High Pre-Oxygenator Pressure 8. Oxygenator Failure 9. Pump Chatter 10. Venous Air Entrainment 11. Arterial Air Entrainment 12. VV ECMO Preparation
