The Cardiopulmonary Bypass Monitor
(Phase II Development)

The Problem

• Emboli are small bubbles or particles in flowing blood

• Emboli can cause mental deficits & stroke (particles are thought to do more damage)

• Emboli occur in heart-lung (CPB) machines during open heart surgery

The Solution

• Device can detect microemboli in CPB

• Particulate microemboli can be treated with anti-coagulents and brain protecting medications
