It can aid in the diagnosis of asthma and COPD and can also help identify patients who are at risk of progression to COPD. [1] The tremoflo® C-100 assesses respiratory function through simple tidal breathing and can be a valuable tool when compiling a detailed picture of respiratory function. It is particularly useful in enabling the very young, frail, or ...
Vitalograph, a global leader in the development and production of respiratory diagnostic solutions and clinical trial services, has launched the Vitalograph tremoflo® C-100 at this year’s ATS International Conference, taking place in Washington. ...
Specifically, the study demonstrated that young men in the advanced stages of DMD experienced improvements in both skeletal and cardiac muscle function after receiving four doses of CAP-1002 over the course of one year. ...
Applying non-invasive electrical stimulation to the expiratory abdominal muscles may reduce abdominal muscle atrophy and markedly reduce the number of days adult patients require mechanical ventilation – a potentially important finding for weaning ventilated patients, including seriously ill COVID-19 patients, and improving patient outcomes. Liberate ...
TIKOMED, a Swedish privately-held biopharmaceutical company today announced that the European Commission has granted Orphan Drug Designation to its lead drug candidate ILB® for the treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – a terminal, neurodegenerative disease where most patients die of respiratory muscle weakness in less than ...
Liberate Medical today announced that it has received Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization for its VentFree™ Respiratory Muscle Stimulator, intended to be used to reduce disuse atrophy of the abdominal wall muscles, which may reduce the number of days adult patients require mechanical ventilation, including those ...
Liberate Medical, a medical device company developing novel non-invasive electrical muscle stimulation devices to help patients with pulmonary conditions, today announced that it has received CE marking for its VentFree™ Respiratory Muscle Stimulator and ISO 13485 certification for its quality management system. ...
The VentFree Muscle Stimulator, which received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in January, is an electrotherapy device that applies stimulation to the abdominal wall muscles in synchrony with mechanical ventilation. ...
Invasive mechanical ventilation commonly results in respiratory muscle weakness, which is a major underlying factor for patients requiring prolonged periods of ventilator support. Current methods of respiratory muscle training cannot be used when patients are sedated or delirious, as is common during mechanically ventilation in ...
