About FeNO by NIOX®

Using FeNO technology, NIOX VERO has a reputation worldwide as the gold standard in FeNO testing.

In 2019, Circassia received the Small Diagnostic Manufacturer of the Year Award by the ARTP (Association for Respiratory Technology and Physiology) for the innovation of NIOX VERO®.

NIOX VERO® Airway Inflammation Monitor 

Click on above picture for more info>>>

NIOX VERO gives you an objective and accurate measurement of airway inflammation right at the point of care.

  • Establish the patient’s baseline and personal best FeNOlevel
  • Assess adherence to ICS treatment
  • Optimises the use of ICS and allows the physician to adjust ICS treatment accordingly
  • Aids in diagnosis and helps to identify patients who may benefit from biologics
  • To date, over 20 million tests have been performed using a NIOX device

 

Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation (VBN) System

Image Guidance for Bronchoscopy

  • Provides real-time path navigation within the lungs for lung biopsy and other Dx/Tx procedures
  • Side-by-side navigation pairs real time and virtual images throughout procedure
  • Navigation guides user to target with up to 3mm accuracy 1
  • System operation does not require specialized, disposable instruments

Real-time guidance with LungPoint® Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation

simultaneously shows the live and virtual views and the path to follow—with navigation accuracy of up to 3 mm

Presents three image windows.  Main window (left half of page) is the axial view of the CT study. Right upper and lower windows may present coronal and sagittal CT projections. (these can be modified)

Appears in both the Planning and Procedure modules. It provides tools for reviewing the virtual bronchoscopic pathway to the target

Virtual Bronchoscopic View:

As the virtual bronchoscopic animation plays, the 3D airway tree and CT images update to reflect the current bronchoscope position.

Training, education, and records

Bronchoscopy Training

  • Interactive 3D visualization tools enhance understanding of airways and anatomy
  • 3D airway tree image and airway labeling identifies airway anatomy

Patient Education

  • Use images to help patients understand their procedure, putting them at ease

Records & Publications

• Real-time image capture and case notations can be exported

ARCHIMEDES – TOTAL LUNG ACCESS PLATFORM

Archimedes, including BTPNA (Bronchoscopic Trans-Parenchymal Nodule Access), takes virtual bronchoscopic navigation to the next level by incorporating a novel approach to the peripheral lesions that are not adjacent to the airway.

In this BTPNA, the software creates a tunneled path through the lung parenchyma and around the blood vessels directly to the peripheral lesion, which can then be sampled and treated.  All during one visit.

CLINICAL VALIDATION

Bronchoscopic Transparenchymal Nodule Access (BTPNA) 1

  • Biopsy yield was 100% for procedures where a tunneled pathway (tract) was created (10 out of 10)
  • Overall yield for BTPNA was 83% (10 out of 12), the tract could not be created in two patients (both having lesions in left upper lobe)
  • No occurence of pneumothorax, localized hemorrhage, or bronchial or pulmonary lacerations
