Summary: Inspira Technologies introduced the INSPIRA Cardi-ART, a portable modular device designed to provide oxygen to the brain during cardiac arrest. Aimed at improving survival rates, this device supports vital organ oxygenation both in and outside hospitals. The company plans to submit the device for FDA approval as early as 2026.
Key Takeaways
- New Device Introduction: Inspira Technologies unveiled the INSPIRA Cardi-ART, a portable device for oxygenating the brain during cardiac arrest.
- Broad Application: The device targets both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, aiming to enhance survival rates with rapid oxygenation support.
Inspira Technologies, provider of life-support technology, introduced the INSPIRA Cardi-ART, a portable modular device, currently in development, to provide oxygen to the brain during cardiac arrest.
The device is expected to expand the next-generation INSPIRA ART platform to a wider range of applications.
Design and Application
The INSPIRA Cardi-ART is being designed to support vital organ oxygenation during cardiac arrest to treat patients both in and outside of hospitals. The company plans the regulatory submission of the device to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for as early as 2026, pending the final regulatory pathway.
Today, nearly 70% of cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital, of which there is a mortality rate of approximately 90%. The device aims to improve survival rates of cardiac arrest patients with the Company’s core blood oxygenation and monitoring technologies, targeting new applications in the global cardiac arrest market.
Features of INSPIRA Cardi-ART
The INSPIRA Cardi-ART portable modular unit is being designed for fast emergency response during CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitations) in and outside of hospitals, allowing for rapid cannulation and the delivery of oxygenated blood throughout the body to reduce damage to the heart and brain during cardiac arrest. The device is being designed to monitor key vital parameters using the HYLA blood sensor technology.
Functionality
The INSPIRA Cardi-ART is being designed to provide quick hemodynamic support in the case of cardiac failure as it drains blood, exchanges gases, and then returns the blood to the arterial system to maintain systemic perfusion. The technique has been used in other procedures that have been recommended in medical guidelines as set out by the American Heart Association (AHA).
“The INSPIRA Cardi-ART may become the difference between life and death during a cardiac arrest event, where the medical team sometimes has only minutes to provide critical life-saving care,” said Dr. Dekel Stavi, Inspira Technologies’ medical director.
