Paragonix vs Valve PPM

The Paragonix App provides real-time, centralized, secure coordination for transplant teams including pairing with the Paragonix organ transport systems to share organ status with the entire team. ORGAN STATUS * Bluetooth pairing with all the Paragonix organ preservation systems enables team members in a session to track the organ conditions including both organ temperature and ambient temperature. LOCATION * GPS tracking of procurement team en route to and from the donor center. CASE STATUS * At-a-glance graphic status trackers provide a snapshot summary of timing of key events in the transplant case. COMMUNICATION * HIPAA compliant messaging and communications to keep the procurement team, OPO, donor hospital, and recipient team informed. * Flexibility to invite members from different hospital systems and organizations in a secure manner.

Valve PPM is an innovative mobile tool developed to support echocardiography professionals in their effort of assessing the functionality of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves. The application provides guidelines for assessing an already implanted valve (Check Valve Function) and for choosing a valve before implantation (Optimal Valve Selector). The algorithms behind the App have been derived after an extensive research of the published materials on the aortic and mitral prosthetic valve assessment. - Check Valve Function After selecting a particular valve type, the patient characteristics (weight/height) and the prosthesis actual parameters (peak velocity, mean gradient, VTI prosthesis, VTI LVOT and LVOTd), Valve PPM will provide the user with an answer regarding the normal function of the valve, the potential patient prosthesis mismatch or the intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction. - Optimal Valve Selector The user will be required to select a valve position (aortic/mitral) and the patient characteristics (weight/height) and Valve PPM will instantly indicate the minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA) in order to avoid Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM).
