Official title: Safety and Performance of the Novalung Ultimate Kit and Xenios 2.0 During Stationary Use in Hospital and Ground-based Transport of Patients on Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS)
Run by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH · NCT07156669 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This observational study tests whether using the Novalung ultimate kit with Xenios 2.0 (and MultiSupport Ground) helps maintain blood oxygenation in adults on ECMO during hospital stay and ground transport.

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.
