Luna Innovations Announces Ultrasonic Medical Device for Emboli Detection
ROANOKE, Va., June 23 / -- Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ:LUNA) has introduced an innovative medical device that uses quantitative ultrasound technology to non-invasively count emboli in the blood stream. Emboli can be air bubbles or solid matter (i.e. lipid, blood clot) and can enter the blood circuit during critical and invasive medical procedures such as a cardio pulmonary bypass surgery. Emboli can be dangerous causing neurological or neuropsychological postoperative deficits and in some cases fatalities.
Luna's EDAC(TM) (Embolus Detection and Classification) QUANTIFIER system uses advanced ultrasound technology to detect individual microemboli at rates up to 1000 per second. Employing missile tracking algorithms originally developed for the defense industry, the system is designed to provide cardiothoracic surgeons, perfusionists and anesthesiologists with an accurate rate of emboli in the blood circuit.
The initial release of the EDAC(TM) QUANTIFIER system was launched in May at Outcomes 2006 in Key West, Florida and is "For Investigational Use Only." Luna is currently accepting orders for research and exploration purposes. Lead times are currently six weeks after receipt of order. For more information, see http://www.embolidetection.com/ or email support@embolidetection.com.
