FAQ and support

ECMO Simulation is a new modality in ECMO mechanical failure response training. Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) mandates quarterly water drill for training ECMO Specialists on how to respond to these emergencies. Current training incorporates clamping and shunting to create mechanical emergencies for an ECMO trainee to respond to.

Today's water drill training lacks a suspension of disbelief. Currently, educators implements mechanical failures in plain sight of the specialist in training. Hi-fidelity ECMO simulation enhances water drill training with an immersive experience that is hands off and remote controlled.

EigenFlow is a compact remote controlled simulator that can create on-demand scenarios like thrombosis, pump chatter, cannula malposition, oxygenator failure, air entrainment, hypovolemia, and high post oxygenator pressure. EigenFLow addresses these issues by creating a hand-off approached allowing for the ECMO educator to asses critical aspects of ECMO mechanical emergency training such as response time, critical thinking, and accuracy.

EigenFlow can connect to any point along the ECMO circuit, allowing the instructor to hide the unit behind a bed or underneath the ECMO cart. This creates a more hidden profile, that is inconspicuous to the user.

EigenFlow's modular design gives it the ability isolate and control multiple pressure transducers. On some pediatric circuits where more than 2 pressure transducers are monitored, EigenFlow can be connected to control any transducer in those circuits.

Finally, EigenFlow's wireless iOS interface was designed to be simple and easy to use. Whether EigenFlow is controlled by a simulation technician or ECMO instructor, EigenFlow can be setup and learned in under 30 minutes.
