AERIS Airway™

Simple. Safer. Sedation.

The AERIS Airway  is a transformative device designed to address the inherent challenges of O2 delivery and CO2 monitoring during I.V. sedation.

CURRENT I.V. SEDATION

Challenges

Why the Current Way of Delivering Oxygen is
Suboptimal and Reduces FIO2 Delivery...

Nasal Cannulas

FIO2 delivery is limited in patients with:

  • Mouth Breathing
  • Nasal Congestion
  • Polyp
  • Turbinates Hypertrophy
  • Deviated Septum

Oxygen Masks

FIO2 delivery is limited due to design inefficiencies:

  • Turbulence
  • Leaking Around Mask
  • CO2 Trapping
  • Increased Fire Risk due to higher O2 Flow Rates

Importance of Oxygen Delivery and  End-Tidal CO2 Monitoring during sedation

Clinical Risks in I.V. Sedation

Non-Operating Room Anesthesia (NORA) refers to the delivery of I.V. sedation outside of the operating room. Key findings from a 2017 report by Woodward on medical claims in this setting include:

Death Claims in NORA 2X

twice as high (61% vs 31%).

Severe Hypoxia 54%

of NORA patients experience severe episodes.

Hypoxemia Risk 33%

of patients experience hypoxemia (FIO2 < 90%) under procedural sedation

The majority of medical malpractive lawsuits involving sedation are due to respiratory events, specifically inadequate ventilation or oxygenation.

Designed with Elegant Simplicity
to Produce Effective Results

The AERIS is designed to fit in all adult-sized Guedel OPAs and all adult-sized NPAs. The AERIS features ensure that a patient receives maximal FIO2 levels while a real-time, precise CO2 waveform is produced, allowing anesthesia providers to preemptively detect any signs of respiratory compromise.

How does AERIS work?

By offsetting the oxygen delivery port from the CO2 detection port, end tidal CO2 is captured at the supraglottis with minimal oxygen dilution. In turn, this generates a real-time, reliable CO2 waveform on all clinical capnography monitors.

The Result

The result is improved patient safety, enhanced workflow efficiency, while lowering morbidity and decreasing oxygen use and procedural costs.
