DeltaScan (Brain Monitoring System)

2023: Monitor Announcement

On March 15, 2023, Prolira announced the DeltaScan medical system for monitoring brain conditions. This solution allows you to quickly diagnose acute encephalopathy in elderly patients.

It is noted that the treatment of acute encephalopathy is a difficult task, since symptoms are often overlooked, and diagnostic approaches are largely subjective and ineffective. This leads to a delay in diagnosis, which, in turn, can result in cognitive impairment and a sharp deterioration in the patient's health. In addition, the costs of treatment and rehabilitation are significantly increasing.

DeltaScan

According to Prolira, the DeltaScan Brain Health Monitor is the first bedside platform designed to help clinicians objectively determine if a patient has acute brain failure before symptoms appear. The principle of the system is to analyze polymorphic delta waves on an electroencephalogram (EEG). Medical professionals, including nurses, can perform the procedure directly at the bedside and receive a clear negative or positive result in less than 5 minutes. Specially trained personnel and additional equipment are not required for this.

The DeltaScan monitor is designed for hospitalized patients aged 60 and over. A clinical trial involving more than 400 people in intensive care units, as well as operated patients, demonstrated a diagnostic effectiveness of more than 85% for acute encephalopathy.

DeltaScan allows you to objectively identify acute encephalopathy, which includes delirium. This makes it possible to quickly establish the root cause and determine the necessary interventions, says Prolira.[1]
