NeoDoppler – CIMON Medical

The CIMON Medical NeoDoppler continuously measures the cerebral blood flow of premature infants, who are at increased risk of brain damage in the first months of life.

Der NeoDoppler misst den Hirnblutfluss bei Frühgeburten kontinuierlich, die in den ersten Lebensmonaten einem erhöhten Risiko von Hirnschäden unterliegen.

How does the NeoDoppler work?

A small lightweight ultrasound sensor, which performs the Doppler measurements, is gently placed over the baby’s anterior fontanel. It continuously measures the CBF through the unfocussed ultrasound waves.

Doppler ultrasound technology maps waveforms that represent the blood flow of the brain. By zooming in on the screen, the waves can be viewed in higher resolution. At the same time, the average velocity can be determined over definable time intervals.

The advantages of the CIMON Medical NeoDoppler at a glance

  • No special training required

    The risk of brain damage in premature infants has been managed by alternative methods such as direct measurement of blood flow (NIRS) or by means of intermittent examinations by highly trained professionals. A non-invasive attachment of the sensor allows the sensor to be placed on the fontanelle by healthcare professionals, without special training for the NeoDoppler.

  • Excellent connectivity

    The hemodynamic system is the first of its kind and connects and combines well with other systems, sensing changes in blood flow immediately for rapid intervention.

  • High-quality measurements

    Unlike previous methods, NeoDoppler technology does not measure blood flow in a single vessel, but within an entire brain region, achieving high-quality measurements.

The accurate scalability of Doppler technology enables early and accurate detection of blood flow disturbances. This allows new treatment strategies to be considered.

Reports on the monitoring period are automatically sent to an LH7-compatible patient journal system or a connected USB stick depending on the local configuration.
