Acacia is a clinical innovation company with the mission is to improve patient outcomes and safety. We're developing the new global standards of perioperative safety. Every year more than 20 million patients are affected by post-operative complications related to anesthesia and premature extubation. Of these, more than a million patients suffer severe post-operative Critical Respiratory Events (CREs) after surgery. Many of these life-threatening and costly adverse events are related to inadequate intraoperative patient monitoring. CREs can lead to major morbidity and mortality, decreased patient satisfaction during recovery from anesthesia, and can cause excess cost and needless delays in postoperative recovery. CREs and post-operative complications are most efficiently avoided by objectively and reliably determining when patients are able to breathe again after surgery without assistance. Objective determination (measurement) of neuromuscular function is critical during recovery from general anesthesia to ensure patient safety. Acacia develops high-quality medical monitoring devices that are based on physiologic principles; the monitors are aimed at reducing CREs and post-operative complications, and they help minimize the transmission of infection between patients by utilizing single-use, disposable accessories. The solutions are developed to meet the clinical demand and follow established clinical guidelines. The first portfolio of products have successfully passed clinical studies and are in final regulatory filings. The initial portfolio of products will be manufactured and commercialized through leading Medical Device companies in 2016. Acacia Designs is founded and run by internationally recognized, experienced leaders in the field of anesthesia and medical device development. For more info, see www.acaciadesigns.eu
