Overview

Solid medtech platform for growth

Sippi®

Automated and wireless connected digital urine meter for ICUs and wards

Observe Medical Nordic Sales Operations

Highly competent sales team and medtech product portfolio enabling customer access for Sippi®

Strong market opportunity – accelerated by Covid-19 Urine measurement, anesthesia/ICU and wound care products

Current market focus: Nordics and Europe Strong sales growth and market opportunities in the Nordics

Enabled through acquisition of Sylak

Hourly urine monitoring of patients is one of the last remaining manual monitoring procedures in the ICU

with significant clinical implications

Risk of infections

Inaccurate patient data for clinical decisions

Time-consuming for staff and compromised ergonomics reducing clinical capacity

SIPPI®

Sippi® addresses the clinical challenges

Only automated, digital urine meter with wireless data transfer (Sipplink®) to the hospital patient data management system and which detects (Sippsense®) and hinders (Sippcoat®) bacterial biofilm formation – that can lead to urinary infections.

Hindering risk factors for hospital acquired infections

Improved quality of patient data for clinical decisions

Recent doctoral dissertation further demonstrates clinical benefits of Sippi®

"The AU was non-inferior to the MU regarding precision, and significantly better than the MU in terms of bias, temporal deviation and staff opinion."

"...the higher measurement resolution that may be obtained with the AU should benefit early detection of an upcoming AKI."

"...staff consistently appraised the AU significantly higher than the MU in terms of user-friendliness, reliability, safety and efficacy"

"Likewise, using the AU in normal wards may allow hourly UO measurements in all patients with a urinary catheter, and not restrict measurements to infrequent daily episodes"

"Silicone oil, irrespective of viscosity, significantly decreased biofilm formation by common uropathogenic bacteria, including ESBL producing and multi-drug resistant strains, as well as C. albicans"

"The AU may also potentially decrease the risk of retrograde urinary tract contamination, ..."

Dr. Martin Slettengren
