Introducing the ReDS
System
This chapter introduces the ReDS System and describes its components.
Overview
The ReDS System is a non-invasive device consisting of a Bedside Console connected to a
wearable vest that is used for the measurement of lung fluid. A measurement session lasts 90
seconds. Measurement results in percent units (%) or in impedance units ( Ohms),
representing the volume of fluid in the lung out of the total lung volume.
ReDS system configuration described in this manual (Configuration: U GAS0056) may be used
by a healthcare provider to obtain readings for either single or multiple patients. Each time the
device is used, it must be set up and properly positioned on the patient to be measured.
Measurement results are optionally transmitted via a cellular or Wi-Fi data link to a secured
cloud based portal, SensiCloud™, for physician review.
Indications for use
ReDS System is intended for use by qualified healthcare practitioners and by patients, under
the direction of a physician, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities and home environments, for
the non-invasive monitoring and management of patients with fluid management problems in
a variety of medically accepted clinical applications.
