1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 LuMon System
The LuMon System (LMS) is a compact and lightweight Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system
providing noninvasive monitoring of variations of regional air content/volume within a cross-section of the
. It displays the results as real-time
EIT images
,
waveforms
,
parameters
and
indices
.
NOTE
The LuMon System is not intended for diagnosis, it is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It
must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
The LuMon System comprises LuMon Monitors (5.1), belt connectors (5.2) to link Sentec belts
(5.3) being available in various sizes to the LuMon Monitor, as well as Sentec contact agents/sprays (5.4)
serving as a medium for impedance coupling between a belt Measuring tapes (5.5)
permit the user to determine the recommended belt size, i.e. the size of the belt best fitting the respective
patient.
The LuMon System is available in two configurations
• for adults and children illustrated in Table 1-1 with a family of belts supporting an underbust girth
range of approximately 78 to 130 cm (abbreviated as LMS-A).
• for neonates and infants illustrated in Table 1-2 with a family of belts supporting an underbust girth
range of approximately 17 to 52 cm (abbreviated as LMS-N).
