Objectif Humidification is an essential function of the nose and mouth to ensure normal health and function of the respiratory system. During surgery and within the intensive care unit, the patient’s upper airway tract is bypassed to assist breathing and enable controlled delivery of medical gases; and thus artificial means must be used for humidification. The state of the art provides two main devices: active (high performance / high cost) and passive (low performance / low cost). Whilst passive is preferred due to ease of use and low costs, it is not suitable for more than 24 hour use (or patients with specific respiratory needs). The HUMID project will overcome this limitation through the development of a low cost, easy to use, self-sufficient passive heat and moisture exchange (HME) device offering the following innovative features: - Enhanced humidification performance, boosting the exchange of moisture from the HME material to inhaled respiratory gases, thereby enabling longer term patient use (>72 hours); - Custom designed non-woven material structures offering enhanced moisture sorption and heat exchange properties, thereby eliminating the need for external water reservoirs (reduced healthcare service costs and risk of infection); - Electronic control module and integrated low cost flow actuator, enabling controlled device actuation and functionality in coordination with patient respiration, energy reductions and battery operation; Targeting replacement of more complex active humidification systems, the HUMID device will offer improved performance and functionality at lower cost; thereby enabling significant economic and societal benefits to patients and healthcare end-users. The SME consortium target a 20% penetration of the identified market within a 3 year period, achieving annual sales of over €30 million and 214 new jobs. Furthermore the project results will benefit over 12 000 SMEs in wider industry Champ scientifique medical and health sciencesclinical medicinepneumologyengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfossil energynatural gas Programme(s) FP7-SME - Specific Programme "Capacities": Research for the benefit of SMEs Thème(s) SME-1 - Research for SMEs Appel à propositions FP7-SME-2007-1 Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement BSG-SME - Research for SMEs Coordinateur THE UK MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE LIMITED Contribution de l’UE € 19 913,00 Adresse MIDDLE ASTON HOUSE OX25 5PT OXFORDSHIRE Royaume-Uni Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Andy Dean (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Participants (7) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution de l’UE Tout développer Tout réduire SIA SKAN-TOOLING Lettonie Contribution de l’UE € 251 057,00 Adresse Kruzes iela 2C 1046 Riga Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Natalija Ivanova (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée NOLIAC A/S Danemark Contribution de l’UE € 257 683,00 Adresse HEJRESKOVSVEJ 18 3490 KVISTGARD Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Juliette Forneris (Dr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée VESLATEC OY Finlande Contribution de l’UE € 246 070,00 Adresse Stromberg Park 4D 65320 VAASA Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Olli Saarniaho (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée MIF FILTER SYSTEMS LIMITED Royaume-Uni Contribution de l’UE € 243 415,00 Adresse Waterfall Lane Trading Estate Unit 10 Cradley Heath B64 6PU Birmingham Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Michael John Grainger (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée INTERSURGICAL LIMITED Royaume-Uni Contribution de l’UE € 62 125,00 Adresse MOLLY MILLARS LANE CRANE HOUSE RG41 2RZ WOKINGHAM Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Michael Hinton (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée TEKNOLOGISK INSTITUTT AS Norvège Contribution de l’UE € 3 758,00 Adresse KABELGATEN 2 N-0580 OSLO Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Research Organisations Contact administratif Asbjorn Rune Ousland (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée SAECHSISCHES TEXTILFORSCHUNGSINSTITUT E .V.
