Mergenet Medical, Inc. is an innovative, technology-driven medical device company that develops and commercializes products for the respiratory care market, including both therapeutic and diagnostic devices. November 9, 2010. Mergenet Medical, Inc. awarded Grant by United States Government. Mergenet Medical, Inc. is excited to announce a grant awarded by the US Government to help complete the development of its HIGH FLOW THERAPY device (HFT). "One of the innovative features of our patent pending system is the HFT's ability to monitor airway pressure during treatment, a feature not available in current competing devices on the market." This is according to Dr. Charles Lewis, a contributor in the development of Mergenet Medical, Inc.'s technology.HFT therapy helps avoid patient intubation, supports early weaning from mechanical ventilation and lowers the risk of VAP (ventilator associated pneumonia). Mergenet Medical, Inc.'s HFT systems' respiratory display and safety alarms help adapt HFT to hospitalized patients who require close monitoring, as well as for use in less intensive settings such as Long Term Acute Care and in skilled nursing facilities. Consequently HFT may allow for earlier hospital discharge which in turn can greatly reduce healthcare costs.Mergenet Medical, Inc. also believes its system will eventually be useful in the treatment of sleep apnea. It may also be especially suited for children because it does not require a face sealing mask. Mergenet Medical expects to fund the remainder of preparation for the Hiflo2's 510k process through institutional fundraising.
