LifeStream ECMO

2023: Device Announcement

On June 2, 2023, Roszdravnadzor issued a registration certificate for the LifeStream ECMO emergency blood circulation recovery apparatus, developed by NPO Splav JSC named after A.N. Ganichev. This is a unique device in the Russian Federation.

LifeStream ECMO is a portable hardware and software complex that allows you to expand the possibilities of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) thanks to the use of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) method. The method solves one of the main tasks during CPR, if there was a sudden stop of cardiac activity - the resumption and maintenance of blood circulation in the body, as well as blood oxygen saturation (oxygenation) in severe acute respiratory failure.

LifeStream ECMO

According to the developers, the novelty of the developed device is to maintain a given level of perfusate consumption in the circuit in automatic mode by using a specialized functioning algorithm closed to a non-invasive perfusate flow measurement sensor and in the development of disposable components - a disposable blood pump and an oxygenator. This approach improves the safety and effectiveness of the device in clinical practice.

As stated in JSC "NPO" Alloy "named after A.N. Ganichev," LifeStream ECMO for ECMO is not only promising, but also the only opportunity to improve survival and neurological outcome in patients with refractory cardiac arrest. And in the case of a patient's death after standard CPR measures, ECMO technology can be effectively used to preserve organs for their subsequent transplantation.

Preclinical tests of the device were carried out on the basis of the First St. Petersburg State Medical University named after Academician I.P. Pavlov.^[1]
