Fischer provides connectors for heart-lung system
A Fischer Connectors product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jul 22, 2010
Fischer has supplied connectors for use in Maquet's Cardiohelp 9.4kg hybrid pump/oxygenator, to be used in intensive care, interventional cardiology and intra- and interhospital transfer.
When designing this system, Maquet's engineering team required products that facilitated the creation of a heart-lung assist system that is so light and small that it can be carried by one person and used in a helicopter or vehicle.
Fischer Connectors worked with a manufacturer of heart-lung machines and according disposables, Maquet, to help develop Cardiohelp, a hybrid pump/oxygenator device
Fischer's connectors were selected due to their secure connections, durability and lightness, which were needed in order for Cardiohelp to provide an extracorporeal support for the patient's circulation and respiration, and guarantee adequate gas exchange to prevent heart and/or lung failure.
