Inspira to Collaborate with Westchester Medical Center to Evaluate Its Technology to Treat Acute Respiratory Failure

Inspira Technologies, a groundbreaking life support technology company, recently entered into a strategic collaboration with Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York. Westchester Medical Center, the flagship hospital in the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, will evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared INSPIRA ART100 systems in various real-world clinical scenarios, exposing Inspira’s products and technologies to leading physicians and medical institutions.

The strategic collaboration allows for Westchester Medical Center and Inspira Technologies to advance critical patient care with the deployment of Inspira’s proprietary INSPIRA ART100 systems.  The parties have entered the strategic collaboration with the intention to mutually explore a long-term collaboration towards the future deployment of Inspira’s next-generation flagship technology, its INSPIRA™ ART system, which is currently in development and which is being designed to treat acute respiratory failure by elevating declining oxygen saturation levels in minutes without mechanical ventilators.

“We are thrilled to supply Westchester Medical Center with our FDA-cleared INSPIRA ART100 systems,” Joe Hayon, Co-founder and President of Inspira Technologies.”We believe that this collaboration validates the growing interest in our innovative technology and also provides us with an opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities in one of New York’s premier medical networks.”

David Spielvogel, MD, Section Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Westchester Medical Center, said: “This partnership exemplifies Westchester Medical Center’s commitment to investing in innovative technologies to provide the highest, safest, and most effective care. By integrating this technology we aim to enhance our treatment of acute respiratory failure and improve patient outcomes. As one of the few centers in New York State performing Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass (CPB ) and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), we are uniquely positioned to leverage this advanced technology for the benefit of our patients.”
