Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that demands rapid diagnosis and intervention. Traditional diagnostic methods can be slow and often require invasive blood draws.

The VSNOโ„ข Breath Analyzer by Vail Scientific, LLC, developed in collaboration with Minnetronix Medical, offers a non-invasive, portable, and rapid approach to screening for early signs of sepsis. Designed to analyze exhaled nitric oxide levels, the VSNOโ„ข can deliver results in as little as two minutes, allowing healthcare teams to make faster, more informed decisions.

Key features include:

  • ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป: Redesigned to be 75% smaller than the previous prototype, making it easier to mount on IV poles for bedside use.
