Dominic Corsale, VP for Oridion's OEM Capnography Business, added, "We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Ivy Biomedical, Oridion's newest OEM partner.We strive to provide solutions to the market's needs with our Microstream cutting edge technology, and to ensure that this technology is integrated into widely used monitoring systems of the highest quality, such as those manufactured by Ivy Biomedical Systems."Ivy designed the Vital-Guard with a specific emphasis on monitoring newborns, a patient population which has been historically very difficult to monitor end-tidal CO2.Oridion's unique Microstream technology, unlike other capnography products, utilizes very low flow rates of 50ml/min, which is required when sampling very small newborns.It also contains a very small volume measuring cell, important when measuring very high respiration rates, typical in newborns.With the benefits offered by Oridion's Microstream technology, Ivy will now be able to offer with its monitors the ability to monitor intubated and non-intubated newborns, as well as all adult and pediatric patients.Ivy Biomedical distributes its monitoring systems through leading medical device companies.
