Novel Cardio-Pulmonary Support Device LIFEBRIDGEŽ from Germany gains FDA Clearance

LIFEBRIDGE Medizintechnik gets go-ahead on the US market. German based LIFEBRIDGE AG has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a compact, lightweight, portable heart-lung machine, a first for any manufacturer worldwide. The novel device received CE certification for Germany and Europe in 2008, and now FDA clearance makes the portable LIFEBRIDGE^® available for use as a cardiopulmonary support system in the important US market as well. Weighing a mere 38.5 lbs (17.5kg), the LIFEBRIDGE^® can be used to assume the function or the heart and lungs anytime, anywhere. Even on battery power. This allows the patient to receive oxygen and circulatory support even during the most critical situations.
