The TherOx DownStream System, is indicated for the preparation and delivery of SuperSaturated Oxygen Therapy (SSO2 Therapy) to targeted ischemic regions perfusedby the patient’s left anterior descending coronary artery immediately following revascularization by means of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stentingthat has been completed within 6 hours after the onset of anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) symptoms caused by a left anterior descending artery infarct lesion.
A sterile, sealed container (cartridge) that is placed into a supersaturated oxygen (SSO2) therapy system for the mixing of autologous blood with an SSO2 solution [typically created in the container with oxygen (O2) and saline], to produce oxygen-enriched hyperoxaemic blood that is delivered (infused) to the patient by means of a dedicated catheter that connects to this cartridge. It is typically made of plastic and silicone materials, has several chambers, and is connected to the system's O2 gas source. This is a single-use device.
