  1. A user-friendly, stand alone system for sensitive and reliable breath-hold monitoring SALE5028

  2. Instant Respiratory Motion Feedback Current Uses • Lung biopsy • Liver biopsy • Kidney biopsy • Adrenal gland biopsy SALE5028

  3. Biopsy Challenges Respiratory Motion - Structures in the lung or upper abdomen can vary 1 to 6 centimeter during normal breathing. Inconsistent Breath Holds - Reproducing consistent levels of inspiration or expiration can be challenging for many patients. Number of Needle Puncture Attempts - Inconsistent breath holds can result in inaccurate needle placements, therefore more needle punctures can result in higher complication rates and radiation exposure. Time - The longer the biopsy needle remains in the chest, the greater chance of damage to pleura and tissue if the patient moves during the procedure. SALE5028

  4. Breath Hold Benefits: • Ability to biopsy smaller lung nodules • Consistent breath-hold positions • Attain different levels of respiration if access is limited from overlying rib • Distraction for nervous patient • Instant bio-feedback of respiratory motion to Radiologist, Patient and Technologist • Avoid the need for more invasive and costly surgical procedures • Improve patient care while reducing cost • Reduced radiation exposure time for both patient and hospital staff • Decreased number of needle puncture attempts • Faster biopsy needle placement • Reduction in complications (pneumothorax) • Increased accuracy SALE5028

  5. Respiratory Motion During Lung Biopsy 1. Patient asked to hold breath and reference point is set. Large nodule visible. 2. Lights indicate patient had inhaled past his/her reference point. Nodule no longer visible. 3. Patient returns to reference point, nodule is visible and needle insertion continues. 1 2 3 SALE5028

  6. Two independent case studies concluded very similar results of it’s clinical trial. One case study was preformed at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and the other by a large University Hospital, Aachen, in Germany. SALE5028
