Welcome to the Fresenius Medical Care Novalung Simulator. This online application is intended for use by clinicians for educational purposes only. Included data has been developed from published references and real-world clinical application. Information presented in this simulator is not intended to replace the judgment or experience of the attending physician or clinician. The ECMO treatment is the sole responsibility of the attending physician. The Novalung Simulator is not intended to be used for pediatric patients.
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 law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
