Saranas said today that the first clinical cases using its Early Bird endovascular bleed monitoring system were performed at Atlantic Health System’s Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, N.J.
The Early Bird device includes a vascular access sheath with embedded sensors that are designed to detect and monitor bleeding from a blood vessel accidentally injured during endovascular procedures, such as TAVR, large-bore hemodynamic support device placement, or other complex cardiovascular interventions in which the femoral artery or vein is used to obtain vascular access. The technology was invented at the Texas Heart Institute.
