Nautilus™ Smart ECMO oxygenator module
The Nautilus™ Smart ECMO oxygenator module combines the function of an oxygenator with integrated monitors that display real-time device performance data.
Description
Simplify your circuit with the first oxygenator featuring integrated monitoring. The Nautilus™ Smart ECMO module improves long-term gas transfer1 while providing real-time device performance data accessible from an intuitive touch screen.
- Long-term ECMO indication†
- Polymethylpentene (PMP) fiber
- Balance™ biosurface
- Circular flow-path design
Features
Simplification. Monitoring. Alerts in real time.
Performance predictability
View monitored parameters on the interactive touch screen.
- Pressure in, pressure out, ΔP
- O2 saturation in, O2 saturation out
- Temperature out
- Set alarm limits
- Receive visual and audio alert notifications
Circuit simplicity
- Integrated sensors may eliminate the need for pressure transducers and external blood saturation monitoring.2–4
- Simplify the circuit for patient transport, ambulation, and rehabilitation.2–4
- Fewer connections minimize the number of areas prone to blood clot formation and air entrainment.2–4
Streamlined workflow
- Light bar provides at-a-glance assessment of oxygenator performance
- Reduces need to look at multiple devices to get oxygenator-related performance data
- Visual and audio alerts when limits are exceeded
- Displayed data allows clinicians to clearly communicate oxygenator status among ECMO team members
Designed for ECMO
Circular flow-path technology
The Nautilus™ Smart ECMO module has a transverse flow-path with a circular profile. Transverse flow minimizes surface contact area while achieving a low blood-side pressure drop. The circular profile eliminates corners where low flow and stasis are known to occur. Designed for durability and long-term performance, the circular flow-path design improves long-term gas transfer.1
Circular shape
Eliminates corners, areas known for clotting
Guided inlet‡
Reduces velocity changes at the inlet where low flow and stasis may occur
Filling vanes
Aid in even filling and even flow distribution across the membrane
Performance data

Carbon dioxide transfer
Potential complications related to the use of ECMO devices include, but are not limited to, heart, vessel, or lung damage, hypoxia, anemia, irritation, toxic reaction, infection, hemorrhage, liver or kidney failure, stroke, and death. The benefits of extracorporeal support must be weighed against the risk of systemic anticoagulation and must be assessed by the prescribing physician.
