Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults receiving ECMO who are treated with the Novalung ultimate kit in combination with Xenios 2.0 (and MultiSupport Ground during transport) according to intended use.

Probably not a fit

Patients outside the specified ECMO setup or without routine use of the Novalung/Xenios combination may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational PMCF study evaluates the safety and performance of the Novalung ultimate kit in combination with Xenios 2.0 for adults on ECMO. It examines gas exchange outcomes during stationary hospital use and during ground-based transport. Devices will be used according to their intended purpose and local standards. Data will be collected under real-world clinical conditions across multiple sites. No intervention beyond routine clinical care is mandated by the study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could confirm the devices' ability to support reliable gas exchange in ECMO patients during transport and routine care.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work with similar ECMO accessory combinations has shown promise for safety and performance, but this PMCF study will provide real-world data for this specific configuration.
