Precise ETT airway monitoring didn’t exist— until now.

The SonarMed™ airway monitoring system is the only endotracheal tube (ETT) airway monitor to provide real-time visualizations at the bedside for accurate, informed troubleshooting, which may save precious time and help reduce unplanned extubations (UEs).†

A sensitive solution

Continuously shows ETT position and patency

Easy-to-read screen displays any status changes of the ETT and monitors the correction of the tube to the optimal baseline position.

Noninvasive options for ETT

Uses acoustic technology, which is less disruptive than chest X-rays or opening the isolette during every assessment. It also notifies you about ETT movement to help facilitate kangaroo care.

Supports an enhanced standard of care

Timely notifications and specific measurements allow for a coordinated response to address potentially critical events, such as tube movement, occlusion, or airway obstruction.

Endotracheal tube monitoring helps:
Protect
patients

1 in 5 patients are impacted by unplanned extubations.‡
Reduce
interruptions

Remote monitoring reduces the need to disturb patients to check on their condition. This allows more time for uninterrupted sleep and development.
Know
unknowns

Real-time data at the bedside displays the percentage and location of any obstruction within the ETT and indicates if removal efforts were successful.
Decrease
costs

UEs in the NICU may lead to higher costs (between $20K–$50K per patient).1
