Problem
Saline contrast echocardiography studies for patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure can suffer from poor image quality, hindering accurate diagnosis of cardiac conditions. This can lead to uncertainty in characterizing cardiac shunts and other structural abnormalities.
Solution
Agitated Solutions develops the Orbis Microbubble Generator, an ultrasound imaging agent designed to enhance saline contrast echocardiography. The Orbis Microbubble Generator produces microbubbles that improve the contrast and clarity of ultrasound images, aiding in the characterization of cardiac shunt severity and providing clinically relevant information to support clinical decision-making. The company has received medical device licensing in Canada and is initiating a US trial for cardiology applications, with plans to expand into the European market and develop line extensions for other clinical imaging applications, including orthopedics and interventional radiology.
Target Audience
The primary users are cardiologists and echocardiography technicians performing saline contrast echocardiography studies, specifically those seeking to improve image quality in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure.
Features
- Production of microbubbles to enhance contrast in saline contrast echocardiography
