ATMOS Inc. Announces FDA Clearance for its Cardiothoracic Digital Drain, Helping Patients To Go Home Sooner After Lung Resection Surgery
ATMOS Inc. is proud to announce that its ATMOS C 051 Cardiothoracic Digital Drain and Observation System has received FDA clearance.
EXTON, PA / ACCESS Newswire / April 2, 2025 /Designed to support Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)® protocols, the C 051 empowers surgeons and postoperative teams with objective data on air leaks, enabling faster clinical decision-making for earlier chest tube removal and ultimately reducing hospital length of stay.
Early ambulation is a key factor in recovery, yet traditional drainage systems tether patients to wall suction or restrict patient movement. "The ATMOS C 051 with its small and light profile allows patients to mobilize sooner, complying with ERAS ®," said David Guy, U.S. Business Development Manager at ATMOS Inc. "This technology is designed to benefit patients, surgeons, and hospital staff by enhancing mobility, improving clinical decision making, and ultimately enabling faster recovery."
For patients with unresolved air leaks, the C 051 can be prescribed to support home-based recovery under physician observation. This unique capability not only enhances patient comfort but also frees up hospital bed capacity, addressing a common challenge in today 's healthcare environment.
Unlike other digital drainage systems that require specialized chest tubes or manual intervention, the ATMOS C 051 and its larger-capacity counterpart, the ATMOS S 201, feature an automatic active tube clearance mechanism. This innovation eliminates the need for staff to milk or strip tubing to remove blood clots, allowing them to focus on patient care. With the C 051, automatic truly means automatic-no additional effort required for the staff. Most importantly, the ATMOS C051 tube clearance mechanism works with any chest tube and does not require an expensive proprietary chest tube to clear blood clots like its competitors.
ATMOS understands that adopting new technology should be seamless. The C 051 is the only drainage system equipped with an AI-driven QR code support system, giving nurses and clinical staff instant access to answers without the need to contact a sales representative or on-call surgeon during critical moments.
"We are proud to have demonstrated that our Digital Drainage System ATMOS S201 enables same-day chest tube removal and discharge in the US market under certain conditions," says Frank Greiser ATMOS CEO.
