USCOM Sale into Space Programme
SYDNEY, Australia, 27th October 2014: Uscom Limited (ASX code: UCM) announced the sale of an USCOM unit to the Russian Federal Space Agency.
The USCOM 1A has been commissioned for high level research of cardiovascular physiology in astronauts before, during and after space travel. The influence of weightlessness on the circulation is not well understood in part because there has previously not been available an accurate, noninvasive method to monitor the circulation. It is anticipated that the use of the USCOM device will provide an improved understanding of the circulation of astronauts in space.
Executive Chairman of Uscom, Dr Rob Phillips said “ This is another area of circulatory research which can be advanced by the USCOM technology. The high accuracy and sensitivity of the USCOM device results in many unique applications in which USCOM can improve our understanding of physiology and contribute to the global body of cardiovascular knowledge. The results of the USCOM in space physiology research may be translated into improved clinical care in heart failure, hypertension, sepsis and the guidance of fluid therapy.”
Uscom manufactures and markets the USCOM 1A and the Uscom BP+, both premium cardiovascular devices changing the way cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, heart failure and sepsis are diagnosed and treated, and improving guidance of fluid, inotropes and vasoactive therapies.
