Synchronized cardiac support –
pulsatile VA ECMO
Synchronized cardiac support (SCS) is an ECG-triggered pulsatile venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO).
The technical principle of SCS is the synchronization of the pump speed and therefore the extracorporeal blood flow (EBF) with the cardiac cycle based on R-wave detection. During the diastole, the pump speed is increased by 3500 rounds per minute (rpm) compared to the pump speed during the systole.
Please note: SCS is cleared and available to a limited extent. For further information on country-specific regulations, please contact your local Xenios AG representative.
