BEACON CARESYSTEM

Advisory system for ICU Ventilation and Nutrition

BEACON is an ICU Ventilation and Nutrition assist system.

BEACON provides ventilator-dependent open-loop advice for optimizing and weaning-off ICU ventilated adult patients.

​

BEACON provides open-loop advice for optimizing Nutrition for ICU ventilated adult patients

​

BEACON uses inputs measured and data inputs from the ventilator and manual data entry by the clinician into a computer program that has been designed to assist clinical decisions for changes to the ventilator and nutrition settings for the individual patient undergoing mechanical ventilation.

​

The objective of the BEACON Caresystem is to present advice for ventilator and nutrition adjustment and the rationale behind the advice, in a clear and easy-to-use graphical format.

Optimize Ventilator Capacity

BEACON can potentially reduce the amount of time a patient needs ventilation by up to 25% maximizing resources and freeing up ventilator capacity by 25% 

Optimize Staff Capacity

BEACON can enable nurses and/or low skilled/new staff to optimize ventilation management in the ICU, when ICU doctors or Respiratory Therapists are scarce resources.

Works with any ventilator

BEACON works with any ICU ventilator installed - old or new

Out-Of-Box solution

BEACON is delivered as an “out-of-box solution”, meaning no installation is required.

1 hour virtual training is enough to train doctors/nurses in using the system, and then BEACON is ready to be used in clinical practice

Approved in EU and USA

BEACON is CE marked and FDA Cleared [K192584].
