Previously dba Aqueduct Neurosciences Inc, Aqueduct Critical Care organized around development of medical devices designed to support effective monitoring of Intercranial pressure. Anchored inworkin initiated atthe Universty of Washington and based on traditional gravity-based drainage systems the concept is to allow for the automated regulation of ICP without the need for continuous manual measurements, adjustments and interventions. This not only enables hospital staff more easily to conduct tests and physical therapy but also provides their patients with mobility while draining. Aqueduct's gravity-based external drain and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring system combining the functionality of current external drains with a pressure transducer for the management of elevated ICP. The firm's Smart External Drain⢠(SEDâ¢) allows the patient to be mobile automatically adjusting Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow to maintain desired ICP without nurse interventio
