TECHNOLOGY
SEEING THROUGH WALLS
ReDS™ technology originated in the defense technology that allows the military to see through walls and find survivors in the rubble of collapsed buildings. Sensible Medical adapted this technology for medical use by creating a system to see through the ‘walls’ of the chest and inside the lungs of Heart Failure patients. It takes just 45 seconds to get a ReDS™ measurement at the hospital, the clinic, or even in the comfort of a patient’s home.

ReDS™ – WHAT DOES IT MEASURE?

Absolute lung fluid content expressed as percentage of Total Lung Volume

A normal lung measures 20-35% fluid content (default target range)

Lung fluid monitoring
People who suffer from Heart Failure often accumulate fluid in their lungs during disease exacerbation. This causes respiratory distress, which often leads to urgent emergency department or clinic visits that result in hospital readmissions. Current methods to monitor patients include listening with a stethoscope for noises in the lungs, or relying upon implantable devices, weight measurements and chest X-rays. ReDS quickly and accurately measures the percentage of lung fluid which is actionable to monitor and tailor the treatment.

ReDS™ is 94% accurate compared to CT
