Thoracic electrical impedance electrode array, single-use

Thoracic electrical impedance electrode arrays are single-use, noninvasive devices designed to be placed on the chest to measure bioimpedance continuously. Clinically, they help assess lung function, detect respiratory issues like atelectasis or pneumothorax, and monitor ventilated or spontaneously breathing patients for conditions such as endotracheal tube misplacement.

These devices are typically used alongside parent systems like monitors or thoracic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) equipment. They are classified as single-use, meaning they are intended for one-time application and disposal, ensuring patient safety and hygiene in clinical settings.
