Working with clinicians in critical care over many years, we have come to see that technology has brought some progress in mechanical ventilation, but that many shortcomings remain. Ventilation is complex, doesn’t enforce lung protection sufficiently and costs too much – just to name a few.

Our philosophy of Intelligent Ventilation addresses these issues. Our Swiss engineers have developed technologies and products that have proven to meet users' needs. It is encouraging when we receive positive feedback from happy users. But rest assured that we continue to develop more Intelligent Ventilation solutions – for the benefit of ventilated patients and the people who care for them.

In 1991, a team of highly skilled engineers and clinicians from various disciplines began development of a new system for measuring blood pressure.

Their goal was to develop a system that was non-invasive, as accurate as an indwelling catheter, measured continuously and did not require calibration. This team and their goal formed the nucleus for the company that is Medwave.

Medwave's team of engineers and clinicians began their task by researching all previous efforts to measure blood pressure non-invasively. One by one, each of these technologies was evaluated and rejected. This led the team to begin to think about the problem in a new way: to measure arterial waveforms and calculate blood pressure from these measurements. This approach met all the teams original goals, and from it the Vasotrac® system emerged. Numerous patents have been, and continue to be, issued to Medwave based on the development of this new technology.

Several prominent medical centers have adopted Medwave's technology and have found dramatic improvements such as A-line (invasive catheter) reduction, enhancement of patient comfort, and the ability to monitor difficult patients, all clinical benefits not found with conventional non-invasive technology.
