InfraScan, Inc. is a medical device company that invented and distributes hand-held diagnostic devices for head injury and stroke assessment based on Near-Infrared (NIR) technology. The Infrascanner enables clinicians to effectively, conveniently, and accurately detect intracranial bleeding in patients with head trauma.
- Early Detection
- Less Brain Tissue Damage
- Improved Patient Outcomes
The Infrascanner compares the left and right sides of the brain in four different areas. The NIRS sensor is placed successively in the left and right frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital areas of the head, and the absorbance of light at selected wavelengths is recorded.
InfraScanner
- Patient measurement is completed within 2-3 minutes
- Detects hematomas greater than 3.5 cc in volume
- Detects hematomas up to 2.5 cm deep from the surface of the brain (or 3.5 cm from the skin surface)
- Accuracy: In patients with Epidural, Subdural and Intracerebral hematomas: Sensitivity = 88% / Specificity = 90.7%*
