Cardiohelp – A WORLD FIRST:

the compact lifesaver

A heart-lung support system no bigger than a suitcase – that was the vision of an eminent expert in the field of intensive care. MAQUET has made this vision a reality. CARDIOHELP is not only the world’s most compact and lightweight heart-lung support system, it is also a complete solution for use in intensive care, cardiac surgery, cardiology, and emergency medicine. 
 

The individual operating modes and the disposables make CARDIOHELP suitable for all indications with cardiac or pulmonary support, so it can be used not only in the operating room but also in catheter labs and especially the intensive care units. Thus, the principle of extracorporeal circulation for supplying the heart and/or lungs with oxygen is now available in new areas as a means of life support and saving lives.  
 

A vision has become a complete system. The central component of CARDIOHELP is an integrated drive and control unit in the form of a compact, functionally designed box, just 50 cm long, 26 cm wide and 30 cm high, into which the various disposables are docked.  
 

CARDIOHELP is almost instantly ready to use. Furthermore, it is designed with user-friendliness in mind, so a single push-and-turn knob and a touch screen are all that nursing staff are required to operate. MAQUET offers a modular training program for the various applications.
