The Novalung® System
for ECMO*

Designed to Provide Safety,
Simplicity, and Portability

Why the Novalung System?

The Novalung System's single integrated platform focuses on improving the delivery, duration, and impact of life-saving care. This technology is designed to oxygenate blood, remove CO2, and is a good option for ECMO-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), patients who need assistance weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R).

Safety

Designed to minimize emergent circuit changes

Simplicity

Intuitive user-interface designed to simplify workflow and save time

Portability

Designed to ease transport throughout the hospital

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Novalung System is indicated for long-term (>6 hours) respiratory/cardiopulmonary support that provides assisted extracorporeal circulation and physiologic gas exchange (oxygenation and CO2 removal) of the patient's blood in adults with acute respiratory failure or acute cardiopulmonary failure, where other available treatment options have failed, and continued clinical deterioration is expected or the risk of death is imminent. These may include:

  • Failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass following cardiac surgery in adult patients
  • ECMO-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults


Caution: Federal (US) law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Note: Read the Instructions for Use for safe and proper use of these devices. The Indications for Use for this device can be found at https://fmcna.com/products/indications-safety-and-warnings.
