Brighter, Healthier Futures For Children
At Navi Medical Technologies, we believe there is a shortage in fit-for-purpose products for critically ill newborns and children.
Despite best efforts, there is a problem with
CVAD positioning in newborns and children
High rates of misplaced and/or migrated central vascular access devices (CVADs) in newborns, infants, and children — caused by ‘blind’ insertion and lack of real-time guidance — can lead to increased risks of serious complications, delays in therapy, and increased healthcare costs.
CVAD malpositions in newborns & children are common.
Central vascular access devices (CVADs) in newborns and children have high misplacement rates, exceeding 40% of Umbilical Venous Catheters (UVCs) and 37% of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) at time of insertion. Misplacement may lead to repeated insertions, additional imaging for catheter tip verification, and delays in initiating therapy for critically ill patients.
Safe insertion is only part of the story…
Migrating CVADs can be the source of significant complication that may result in increase morbidity/mortality. There is a need for a fast and easy method for post-procedure tip verification and surveiliance of CVADs throughout dwell time.
CVAD migrations are common.
CVADs can remain in patients for days, weeks or months. To ensure safe infusion therapy, the catheter tip must stay in a safe position near the heart.
However, studies show that up to 36% of UVCs and 28% of neonatal PICCs may unintentionally migrate to potentially unsafe locations, exposing patients to risk of serious complications, such as cardiac arrhythmia, vessel tissue , damage, hepatic extravasation, or even cardiac tamponade, which can cause increased morbidity and/or mortality.
Migration rates in neonatal and pediatric PICC and UVC
That’s why we are creating the
Next Generation
ECG Tip location System
Safe CVAD insertion is only part of the story. The Neonav® ECG Tip Location System enables non-invasive bedside spot checks of CVAD location to ensure safe infusion throughout dwell time.
How does the Neonav® work?
The Neonav ECG Tip Location System is a non-invasive device specifically designed for newborns and children that gives healthcare providers real-time information on catheter tip location throughout the catheter’s use.
The Neonav achieves this by using innovative ECG surveillance technology and advanced proprietary algorithms to interpret the patient’s cardiac electrical activity recorded through the catheter. This gives healthcare providers confidence that insertion procedures, as well as long term infusion therapy, can be delivered as smoothly and as safely as possible.
The Benefits
The Neonav’s next-generation ECG-based technology is being specifically designed to support clinical teams with safe placement and use of CVADs in newborn and pediatric patients
