Septic Shock
The InSpectra™ StO2 Tissue Oxygenation Monitor has not been cleared by the FDA for use in diagnosing sepsis or septic shock. Additional clinical studies are required to establish the value of these measurements in assessing patient status relating to sepsis or septic shock.

Presented at the 17th ESICM Annual Congress, Berlin, Germany, 10-13 October 2004. Alterations in vascular reactivity can be demonstrated by the
InSpectra™ System technique in septic patients.

Presented at the 17th ESICM Annual Congress, Berlin, Germany, 10-13 October 2004. The
InSpectra™ System was used to monitor vascular reactivity in septic patients. The persistence of an altered microvascular response to reactive hyperaemia following an arterial occlusion is associated with a worse outcome in septic patients.

Presented at the 17th ESICM Annual Congress, Berlin, Germany, 10-13 October 2004 Following a brief arterial occlusion, the
InSpectra™ System was used to monitor the slope of muscle tissue deoxygenation. The rate of muscle tissue deoxygenation during stagnant ischemia could potentially be used as a marker of oxygen uptake capability in septic patients.
Muscle Perfusion and Oxygen Consumption by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Septic-Shock and Non-Septic-Shock PatientsGirardis M, Rinaldi L, Busani S, Flore I, Mauro S, Pasetto A
Intens Care Med. 2003;29:1173-1176
Near infrared spectroscopy of skeletal muscle tissue combined with venous occlusion allows a rapid, noninvasive, and simultaneous assessment of regional perfusion and oxygen consumption.
