Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides an overview of the ResQGARD impedance threshold device (ITD), a non-invasive medical device designed to improve blood pressure in patients experiencing hypotension. It emphasizes the device's effectiveness, safety, and ease of use in various settings, including emergency care and home use.

Research and Development
The ResQGARD has been evaluated in over 30 studies, many supported by the US Department of Defense. Key findings include its ability to increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 30%, enhance stroke volume, cardiac output, and cerebral blood flow, and lower intracranial pressure during inspiration. It is well tolerated by patients and does not compromise oxygen saturation or reduce hematocrit.

Device Specifications and Features
The ResQGARD is compatible with facemasks or mouthpieces, allows for supplemental oxygen administration, is latex-free, and designed for single-patient use. It is particularly useful in situations where IV or IO access is impractical.

Clinical Applications
The device is used to treat hypotension caused by various conditions such as blood loss, dehydration, early sepsis, drug overdose, heat shock, renal dialysis, orthostatic intolerance, and anesthesia. It serves as a bridge therapy for hypotensive patients, providing rapid improvement in blood pressure before more definitive treatments can be administered.

Mechanism of Action
The ResQGARD works by creating a therapeutic resistance during inhalation, enhancing the vacuum in the chest, which draws more blood back to the heart and lowers intracranial pressure. This results in improved cardiac output and cerebral blood flow, ultimately increasing blood pressure and perfusion to vital organs.

Clinical Evidence and Testimonials
Testimonials from medical professionals highlight the device's effectiveness in rapidly improving blood pressure in emergency situations. The ResQGARD is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness, making it a valuable tool for first responders and emergency medical services.

Awards and Recognition
In 2008, the ResQGARD received the US Army’s SBIR Achievement Award for its application in non-invasive treatment of hemorrhagic shock.

Ordering Information
To order the ResQGARD, contact toll-free at 877-737-7763. Available products include ResQGARD FM (Facemask) Kit, ResQGARD Military Kit (US only), and ResQSTRAP.

Conclusion
The ResQGARD ITD offers a safe, simple, and effective alternative to traditional fluid and medication therapies for hypotension. Its ability to rapidly increase blood pressure non-invasively makes it a critical tool in emergency and clinical settings.
