Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd., a pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies, today announced the successful completion of the first human treatment using its U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared INSPIRA ART100 system in a critical life-support procedure.
The procedure was successfully performed by expert physicians at Westchester Medical Center in New York State, marking the first real-world implementation of Inspira’s innovative technology. During the life-support procedure, the INSPIRA ART100 effectively provided comprehensive heart and lung support by oxygenating and circulating the patient’s blood. Following the procedure, the patient was safely transitioned off the system, demonstrating its effective support.
Dr. David Spielvogel, MD, Section Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Westchester Medical Center commented: “The INSPIRA ART100 system performed exceptionally well during this critical procedure. We were particularly impressed with the system’s reliability and responsiveness throughout the procedure. I believe that the seamless transition during both the connection and disconnection phases demonstrated the technology’s sophistication and clinical readiness. This successful first case represents a promising advancement in extracorporeal support technology that could benefit numerous patients requiring this level of care. We look forward to continuing and expanding our relationship with Inspira.”
Joe Hayon, President of Inspira, added: “This first successful patient use of INSPIRA ART100 is a pivotal milestone for Inspira, validating the real-world potential of the INSPIRA ART100. We believe that the positive outcome at Westchester Medical Center sets the stage for broader adoption across leading hospitals, with Glo-Med Networks Inc. (“Glo-Med”), our U.S. distributor. We remain committed to expanding clinical use and advancing critical care solutions for patients worldwide.”
The installation, training program and professional services relating to the clinical use of the INSPIRA ART100 was led by Glo-Med.
