The Pulmonary Embolism Monitor
(Phase II Development)

The Problem

• Pulmonary Embolism (blood clots in the lungs)
• 600,000 cases in US annually
• 200,000 die, many without warning, called "silent killer"
• Only 12% of patients diagnosed correctly before death
• 90% of cases caused by "deep vein thrombosis" (DVT) in legs
• DVT caused by trauma, cancer, paralyzed limbs, hospitalization, immobilization, & pregnancy

The Solution

• Unique, safe, noninvasive, cost effective Doppler device
• Detects pulmonary microemboli entering the lungs which may indicate risk for an acute embolic event
• Microemboli indicate need for preventative treatment
