ELSA Extracorporeal Life Support Assurance
ELSA Extracorporeal Life Support Assurance
- Verify Delivered Blood Flow: The ELSA Monitor uses transit-time ultrasound technology to measure true delivered blood flow through ECMO tubing. This helps identify discrepancies between actual and pump readings, allowing for correction of flow-limiting issues such as incorrect cannula placement.
- Optimize ECMO Therapy: The system uses a saline bolus to detect and quantify recirculation in VV ECMO configurations. It aids in optimal catheter placement, establishes maximum pump settings before recirculation, and identifies cannula migration through high recirculation rates. It also helps identify possible cardiac output failure during VV ECMO.
- Detect Oxygenator Clotting: The ELSA Monitor measures oxygenator blood volume to identify early clot formation, providing an opportunity for timely oxygenator change-out to prevent complications.

OPTIMIZE ECMO THERAPY With a single bolus of saline, the Transonic® ELSA Monitor detects and quantifies recirculation in VV ECMO single- and dualcannula configurations. The ELSA Monitor: • Guides optimal catheter placement and treatment delivery by helping to: • Establish a maximum pump setting before recirculation occurs; • Use known values for flow and recirculation to minimize the length of ECMO runs; • Identify cannula migration through high recirculation rates. • Identifies possible cardiac output failure during VV ECMO. VERIFY DELIVERED BLOOD FLOW Pump (delivered blood) flow errors and recirculation...
