Capnia has developed the CoSense® ETCOc Monitor, a groundbreaking technology designed to enhance newborn healthcare, particularly in the management of jaundice. This non-invasive device measures end-tidal carbon monoxide (ETCOc) levels in a newborn's breath, providing a rapid and accurate assessment of hemolysis and the associated risk of neurotoxicity. The CoSense® ETCOc Monitor is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as the gold standard for diagnosing hemolysis, as it uniquely confirms the presence or absence of hemolysis and quantifies bilirubin production rates. By implementing universal ETCOc testing before discharge, healthcare providers can identify at-risk infants, significantly reducing readmissions and the need for invasive blood tests.

The technology addresses the complexities of jaundice management by allowing for early detection of hemolytic conditions that could lead to serious complications such as kernicterus. Traditional methods, such as total serum bilirubin (TSB) tests, often fall short in accurately diagnosing the underlying causes of jaundice. In contrast, the CoSense® ETCOc Monitor provides a direct measurement of hemolysis through breath analysis, enabling timely interventions and improved outcomes for newborns. This innovative approach not only enhances clinical decision-making but also contributes to cost savings by minimizing unnecessary treatments and hospital readmissions.

Embracing Innovation: Transforming Hyperbilirubinemia Management with CoSense ETCOc Technology.

The CoSense® ETCOc Monitor performs a non-invasive, bedside breath test using a nasal cannula, and identifies hemolysis and neurotoxic risks from rising unconjugated bilirubin, aiming to prevent hemolytic HB and Kernicterus. Grounded in extensive research, peer-reviewed studies, and neonatology expert endorsements, CoSense® revolutionizes neonatal care by enabling precise, customized interventions, including vigilant monitoring and effective phototherapy, setting new care standards in neonatology.
