Oridion Announces Significant Medical Studies Presen...( JERUSALEM and NEEDHAM Massachuset...),Health

JERUSALEM and NEEDHAM, Massachusetts, February 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oridion Systems Ltd. (SIX Swiss Exchange: ORIDN). During the recent annual meeting of the Society for Technology in Anesthesia (STA) San Antonio, Texas, major new findings from numerous medical research projects demonstrating the clinical benefit of end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) monitoring using Microstream(R) capnography technology were presented.

Research was presented on the new Oridion technology Integrated Pulmonary Index(TM), which utilizes end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtC02), Respiratory Rate, Pulse Rate and oxygen saturation (SpO2) to provide a clear inclusive assessment of a patient's ventilatory status. A study conducted by David Gozal, MD from Hadassah University Hospital and Yaacov Gozal, MD from Shaare Zedek Medical Center, both in Jerusalem, on the validity and application of the Integrated Pulmonary Index(TM) in the pediatric population, concluded that it would be "particularly useful for non-expert personnel monitoring patients undergoing procedures requiring sedation or recovering from them". An additional study carried out by Dr Yaacov Gozal on the reliability of this new software postoperatively concluded that since the Integrated Pulmonary Index(TM) (510K pending) is displayed as a single value, "it may simplify the monitoring of patients in a busy PACU."

Several studies were also presented showing the unique Oridion family of CO2 breath sampling lines - FilterLine(R), and how they bring the superior Microstream(R) measuring technology to all patients in all settings. A study by Paul F. Nuccio, RRT and Michael R. Jackson, RRT-NPS from The Brigham and Woman's Hospital in Boston on EtCO2 measurements with non-invasive ventilation (NIV), demonstrated that the oral/nasal Smart CapnoLine(R) H Plus CO2 sampling line "proved to be the most reliable" method "in trending EtCO2 with different ventilator settings and leak rates in t
