The DEVD improves accuracy of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow measurements and control while monitoring patient position and providing real-time alerts to caregivers when changes occur.
Value Proposition
Accurate intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is essential to evaluating and treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) during the early hours of care. The DEVD improves accuracy of ICP measurements and control, providing real-time alerts to caregivers when changes occur. The device fits well into current workflows, allowing for easy integration, and provides caregivers with advanced options to deliver specific, individualized care to their patients.
