About
Pneumedicare is a biomedical company that designs and develops devices for patients who require continuous noninvasive monitoring of respiratory function and ventilation. Pneumedicare has developed the Pneumonitor, a device that monitors and quantifies the amplitude and symmetry of ventilation. This crucial information can provide the medical staff with an appropriate picture of the adequacy and quality of ventilation, and may detect deteriorating ventilation at its earliest stages. Based on its specific arrangement of sensors on the chest and upper abdomen, the Pneumonitor can provide information concerning the development of asymmetric ventilation in neonates. The Pneumonitor is suitable for use in patients who receive ventilatory support of any kind, including high-frequency ventilation, as well as in non-ventilated patients.
