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).

Fresenius Medical Care has been a trusted partner of healthcare providers for years. The Novalung System is intended for patients with acute cardiopulmonary failure requiring veno-venous (VV), veno-arterial (VA), or ECMO-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and was the first extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system cleared for >6 hours of therapy.

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.
