LUNG FLUID MEASUREMENT FOR HEART FAILURE PATIENTS

Striving to lead a new standard of care in heart failure

Absolute
Noninvasive readings provide an absolute number for fluid content.
Accurate
Correlated to CT, the most accurate extant method for measuring fluid.
Actionable
Reducing readmissions with actionable data to guide treatment.

Heart Failure:

A Vicious Cycle of Hospital Readmissions
  • Heart Failure is the #1 reason for hospital admissions in patients over 65
  • Over 1 million Heart Failure hospitalizations occur each year
  • As many as 25% of patients are readmitted within 30 days
  • Patient condition deteriorates with each hospital readmission
  • 24% of patients die within 1 year of their heart failure diagnosis

The Need

Did you know that some $21 billion is spent every year on the constant discharges and readmissions of Heart Failure patients? Heart Failure can be a vicious cycle of stress, admissions, and discharges.

Our Solution

The ReDS lung fluid monitoring system is a decision support tool that assists practitioners in better monitoring Heart Failure patients and suggesting treatment programs that are right for them, such as dietary and medication recommendations. ReDS is the fifth vital sign for heart failure patients. ReDS provides accurate, absolute, and actionable readings that allow the monitoring and treatment of patients, keeping them out of the hospital.
In the emergency department (ED), every second counts. ED providers must provide accurate, actionable assessments quickly and confidently, to keep patients safe and to improve the speed and efficiency of patient flow. By providing an accurate, fast and absolute measurement, ReDS helps improve triage and decision support in the ED, and can help avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. Download brochure

The ReDS system allows providers, e.g., cardiologists, hospitalists and mid-levels, to quickly and accurately measure the degree of a patient’s congestion in just 90 seconds, optimizing care while keeping patient hospital stays as short as possible. “It can create a win-win for the patient and the hospital,” says William T. Abraham, MD, FACP, FACC, Director of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Ohio State University. “Patients get targeted care and providers have an objective measure of when lung congestion has been removed.” Download brochure
With the ReDS lung fluid measurement system, SNF staff can directly measure lung fluid in patients with chronic Heart Failure in just 90 seconds as part of their routine vitals assessment and make sure that patients are staying dry and avoiding recurrent volume overload. The ReDS system can also be used on residents complaining of shortness of breath to help assess what role Heart Failure may be playing in their symptoms, and help refine diagnosis and treatment without a visit to the ER.

What does ReDS™ measure?

What is Normal Lung Fluid Content?

Normal lung fluid content is around 20-30%. ReDS can help determine a patient’s fluid status and if they are in an elevated state. This can be valuable data on the heart failure floor, in the emergency department, discharge, or anywhere that treatment decisions are made for patients with fluid management conditions.

Indications for Use

ReDS™ is intended for use by qualified health care practitioners and by patients, under the direction of a physician, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities and home environments, for the noninvasive monitoring and management of patients with fluid management problems in a variety of medically accepted clinical applications.

Fluid management problems

Taking diuretic medication

Living with heart failure

Recovering from Coronary Artery Disease or a related event
