TSC Life Launches Advanced Fluido® AirGuard for Patient Care
TSC Life Achieves FDA Clearance for the Fluido® AirGuard System
TSC Life is excited to announce its FDA clearance for the Fluido® AirGuard System, a remarkable solution designed for the warming of blood and IV fluids. This technology is especially crucial for managing patient care in critical situations where rapid infusion is necessary.
Importance of Rapid Infusion in Critical Care
In emergency medicine and surgical settings, quickly administering warm IV fluids or blood products can make a significant difference in patient outcomes. For instance, studies show that two-thirds of trauma patients may arrive at the emergency department experiencing mild hypothermia. Even a single unit of refrigerated blood or a liter of room temperature crystalloid can drop a person's mean body temperature by approximately 0.45°F.
Safety Features of the Fluido® AirGuard System
The Fluido® AirGuard System stands out by combining rapid infusion capabilities with robust safety features to protect patients during high flow situations. One critical risk encountered in fluid warming is outgassing, which refers to the release of dissolved gases as fluids are warmed. This creates bubbles that can enter the bloodstream, leading to potentially serious complications like stroke or heart attack. Thankfully, this system incorporates advanced automatic air detection and IV-line clamping to effectively mitigate this risk.
Technical Specifications and Unique Benefits
With impressive flow rates of up to 800 mL/min (48 L/hr), the Fluido® AirGuard System includes a removable warming cassette, making it adaptable throughout a patient's journey. It can achieve pressurization in less than 20 seconds, featuring user-friendly controls that ensure the delivery of safe, reliable care to patients in immediate need. Its compliance with current safety standards underlines a commitment to patient protection.
“Fluido® AirGuard represents the pinnacle of clinical utility, safety, and cost-effectiveness,” remarked Chris Duffie, TSC Life's Commercial VP for the U.S.
Transition Towards Direct Sales
In a strategic move, TSC Life transitioned to a direct commercial sales model in the U.S. market earlier in the year. This shift, away from reliance on external distributors like Stryker for their Mistral-Air® portfolio, is projected to enhance customer relations, streamline operations, and pave the way for upcoming product launches, including the Fluido® AirGuard System.
Leadership Insights
CEO Paraic Curtis expressed enthusiasm about the transition, stating, “Building our own commercial team in the U.S. was vital for our company's growth trajectory. It has allowed us to foster deeper customer connections and accelerate our expansion efforts.”
