Improved patient care
High or low blood glucose increases the risk of death or complications. Normalizing glucose improves outcomes, if harmful extremes can be avoided.
Reduced ICU costs
Reducing length of stay and complications has a significant and beneficial impact on the costs of the intensive care units (ICU).
An unsolved problem
Over $500 million has been spent trying to make continuous glucose monitoring possible in the ICU, but the problem remains unsolved.
Minimally invasive
By accessing through an indwelling arterial catheter without disrupting that catheter's current use, the GlucoSet sensor requires no new catheters and displaces no other equipment.
Reliable
The arterial access makes the GlucoSet sensor less susceptible to coagulation and sensitivity to intravenous nutrition. Unlike competing solutions, the sensor also tolerates patient movement very well.
Easy to adopt
The product can be set up by nurses without advance planning, available in minutes after the decision has been made to monitor glucose.
“An indwelling vascular sensor, particularly one as accurate as [the GlucoSet prototype], should be viewed as a significant advancement.”
The GlucoSet continuous blood glucose monitoring is currently in development, and has been tested in patients. Read more about the technology here.
Unprecedented small
With a sensor cross sectional area under 5% of the smallest competing product, GlucoSet is the first sensor able to access through arterial catheters without risk.
Low complexity
With a simple system design that relies on few and commercially available components, the GlucoSet system is optimized for low-cost mass production.
Strong IPR protection
GlucoSet's technology platform and the manufacturing process is covered by granted patents, and the company is actively expanding the patent portfolio.
