ECOM is a minimally invasive cardiac
output monitor designed and tested in the Cardiac Engineering
lab. It has received FDA 510K approval and is marketed by Conmed. http://www.conmed.com/
Literature: "ECOM: Endotracheal Cardiac
Output Monitor" Wallace A, Salahieh A, Lawrence A,
Spector K, Alonso D. Anesthesiology 2000;92:1-12. This
study represents four years of physics and computer science;
electrical, mechanical, and biomedical engineering; as well
as chronic animal and human testing for the development of
a new clinical device for the measurement of cardiac output.
The ECOM device has received FDA 510K approval and is now being marketed.

AVX system: We have completed a 103 patient
clinical trial of the AVX system. http://www.avxmedical.com/
Hearten: The Hearten Project was a radiofrequency
device designed to allow treatment of left ventricular aneurysms
without use of
cardiopulmonary bypass. We tested the system in an animal
model of heart failure and then assisted in clinical testing
in patients undergoing CABG surgery.
We are in the design stages for several other
devices.
