Watch the lungs breathe! Regional lung function monitoring powered by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)

Continuous monitoring – without radiation exposure Highly compact electronics wrapped in soft, breathable fabric LuMon™ Monitor • Standalone device • Compact & lightweight design • Versatile and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) Sentec‘s LuMon(TM) System uses electrical impedance tomography (EIT) – where weak electrical signals are applied and converted into images – to enable clinicians to visualize lung function at the bedside continuously, noninvasively, and without exposure to radiation. SensorBelt The SensorBelt, is secured around the patient‘s chest. Its 32 embedded electrodes measure...

Silent Spaces: See what really matters The so called Silent Spaces – lung areas receiving little or no ventilation – occur for a variety of reasons including lung collapse, fluid build-up or even overdistension. The LuMon™ System allows visualization of Silent Spaces and provides insight into potential causes (depending if Silent Spaces are in dependent or non-dependent lung areas) so that further examination and appropriate treatment can be delivered. Reliable data regardless of patient positioning Silent Spaces Watch the distribution of air within the lungs during breathing just like a movie....

Innovative and cost-effective technology Regional lung function measurement by EIT clearly holds the potential to improve mechanical ventilation in general. EIT monitoring has proven to be useful in optimizing ventilator settings in critically ill patients suffering from respiratory compromise such as ARDS [1]. References: [1] Bachmann et al. Electrical impedance tomography in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Critical Care 2018, 22(1): 263. Particularly lung collapse and lung overdistention can be monitored [2] [3] and therefore EIT can play an important role in the individualization. and...
