EPI-Detection®

Product catalog summary
Overview: EPI-Detection® is a medical device designed to accurately detect the epidural space by monitoring negative pressure, enhancing the safety and accuracy of epidural procedures. It aims to replace the traditional Loss of Resistance (LOR) technique, which has several complications.
Device Components:
  • Power Button: Used to turn on or reset the device.
  • Plug: Connects to the epidural needle.
  • Luer Lock: Allows for immediate injection of treatment medicine or catheter after detection.
  • Body: Contains a digital pressure sensor and LED indicators (Green for ready, Blue for detection).
Innovations and Advantages:
  • Replaces LOR technique, avoiding complications like epidural hematoma and post-dural puncture headache.
  • 96.4% success rate, reducing procedure time by 33.33% and minimal C-arm usage by 34.21%.
  • High satisfaction for patients and operators, especially useful for patients with difficult spinal anatomy.
Usage Instructions:
  1. Perform a self-test by connecting the syringe and checking LED color change.
  2. Insert the epidural needle and connect EPI-Detection®.
  3. Turn on the device and ensure the luer-lock is secure.
  4. Detect the epidural space when the LED turns blue, then proceed with treatment.
Applications: Pain relief during childbirth, anesthesia for surgeries, epidural medication administration, epidural steroid injections, percutaneous epidural neuroplasty, and nerve blocks.
Technical Specifications:
  • Dimensions: 35(W) x 55.5(H) x 24(D) mm
  • Weight: 15g
  • Material: ABS, HDPE for connecting pipe
  • Power: 3.0V, 225mAh
  • Use-by Date: 2 years (single-use only)
Regulatory Information: Patents registered in Korea and Australia, applied in multiple countries including the USA and EU. Trademarks registered in Korea and Japan.

EPI-Detection®-3

New innovation Until now, Loss of Resistance Technique(LOR) has been the golden standard for detecting epidural space. However, there have been some complications with LOR. EPI-Detection® was designed to avoid these complications – epidural hematoma, post dural puncture headache, cord injury and transient loss of consciousness, quadriparesis – and to enhance the safety and accuracy of the procedure. Pressure sensor with digit signal, then display on LED Needle encounters the epidural space Perceives negative pressure with a presetpressure threshold Alarms with light change New technology to replace...

Self test / Reset: Connect syringe to EPI, then pull out the piston of syringe, and check the alarm color changed. And press the button to reset. Remove inner stylet from the epidural needle. Insert the epidural needle in the mid-line. Connect the EPI to the epidural needle and then push the power button to turn on the device. Ready: LED light (Green) ※Make sure the luer-lock value is locked tightly When the epidural needle reaches the epidural space the LED light turns to Blue. After removing the rear luer-lock of the connecting pipe, inject treatment medicine or catheter. Applications DURA...
