ICU Equipment in Arizona

OralKleen is a Fall 2019 Arizona Innovation Challenge Award-winning medical device company specializing in comprehensive oral care solutions for hospitalized and ventilated patients. The company addresses the critical gap in oral hygiene delivery for incapacitated patients in ICU settings, with a primary focus on reducing Ventilator-Acquired Pneumonia (VAP)—a hospital-acquired infection affecting up to 50% of mechanically ventilated patients and resulting in 10–50% mortality among those infected. OralKleen's integrated system combines specialized oral care products with an innovative electric toothbrush featuring LED illumination and suctioning capability, enabling safe and efficient plaque removal while providing clear visibility for caregivers. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvement across key oral health metrics (tongue, teeth, mucosa, and gingiva) and dramatic VAP rate reductions when comprehensive OralKleen care replaces standard protocols. The system delivers superior clinical outcomes at price parity with traditional, less effective methods, making it a cost-effective solution for hospital infection prevention programs.

Mindset Medical is a digital health technology company that delivers an intelligent virtual health platform enabling intake, patient assessments, triage, and virtual exams through smartphone-based contactless video vital sign measurement. The platform uses patented remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology to transform standard device cameras into non-contact vital sign sensors, measuring heart rate, respiratory rate, and other physiological parameters without requiring traditional measurement devices or wearables. The solution includes real-time remote patient monitoring, precision health analytics, and API integration capabilities for seamless deployment across digital health ecosystems. Core features include edge-processing for privacy (video analysis occurs on-device with no transmission), end-to-end encryption, and FDA-cleared respiratory rate measurement functionality. Ideal for telehealth platforms, chronic disease management, post-acute care coordination, and integrated care delivery requiring continuous remote patient monitoring without hardware burden.

Anuncia Medical is a neurotherapeutic medical device company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, specializing in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management and neurocritical care solutions. The company develops noninvasive, clinically validated breakthrough devices designed to monitor, treat, and prevent shunt occlusions in patients with hydrocephalus. The ReFlow™ System Mini (ReFlow™ Mini Flusher) is their primary offering—an implantable device that allows patients to perform noninvasive CSF flushes by pressing the flusher located under the scalp, potentially restoring or maintaining shunt patency and reducing the need for repeat revision brain surgeries. The device received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, indicating significant clinical potential. Anuncia addresses the substantial unmet need in hydrocephalus management, particularly affecting pediatric and geriatric populations. The company's team comprises medical device veterans collaborating with leading institutions and clinicians. Their technology targets both in-clinic and at-home management scenarios, reducing patient morbidity and healthcare costs associated with shunt revision procedures. The ReFlow™ Mini Flusher can be used with the ReFlow™ Ventricular Catheter, which features a relief membrane backup option providing alternate CSF flow pathways. Regulatory credentials include FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. The company actively engages with patient communities and professional associations to support hydrocephalus awareness and clinical education.
