 Project objective

60% of intensive care patients die of multiple organ failure (MOF), resulting in a market potential in Western EU of €1.19bn in 13 targeted countries and in the US of €2.05bn. The detoxification organs are nearly always involved in MOF. Therefore, to treat MOF successfully, the vicious cycle of progressing organ failures and increasing toxin accumulation in the body has to be stopped. ADVOS has the potential to revolutionize the therapy of ICU patients worldwide, as it is the first and only ICU device for combined liver, lung, kidney and acid-base support in one device. ADVOS improves survival of patients with MOF from 10 to 50%. No serious side-effects have occurred so far in more than 500 treated patients. Currently, there is no other device in the market that supports all main detoxification organs as the ADVOS system does. As the ADVOS therapy is low-invasive, it can be used by far more intensive care units and can support by far more patients than other devices for e.g. removal of CO2. Although the ADVOS device has the CE mark and is already in the German market (20 first beta user hospitals) the TRL is 6, as we learned in the German market that due to the staff problem and the stressful environment in the ICU the ADVOS usability is by far not good enough to increase revenues more quickly. Therefore, the goal of the SME project ADVOS is faster market entry and penetration through improvement of device usability and ease of use (Integration of accessory components, state of the art turnable touch screen and smart user assistance), integration of IoT for remote access/maintenance in device, and increased marketing and communication measures (Total project cost: 3.3m€ / SME grant amount: 2.3m€).
