TECHNOLOGY
EchoVent combines a miniature ultrasound transducer, an acoustically compatible catheter, and investigational signal-interpretation software.
SENSE
A miniature A-mode ultrasound transducer is being developed to acquire tissue-interface signals along the catheter pathway. The transducer is integrated into a stylet-style form factor intended to support the familiar procedural workflow.
ACCESS
A novel catheter architecture is under development to support acoustic transmission while maintaining the mechanical requirements of ventricular drainage. Material selection and geometry remain active engineering workstreams.
GUIDE
Investigational software is being developed to interpret device signals and display localization feedback. Algorithm development is informed by bench and preclinical datasets and has not been clinically validated.
A-MODE SIGNAL CONCEPT
In preclinical models, the near and far ventricular walls may produce two distinguishable reflections separated by a lower-amplitude interval corresponding to the fluid-filled space. The platform is being developed to interpret this signal pattern as one input to localization feedback.
Illustration is conceptual and does not represent a clinically validated output.
AI-ASSISTED LOCALIZATION CONCEPT
EchoVent's investigational software is being developed to translate internal sensing feedback into a simplified spatial representation of the ventricular target before catheter advancement toward the ventricle.
The development objective is to provide a clear target that may support efficient, potentially single-attempt ventricular access in time-sensitive elevated intracranial pressure emergencies.
