The ALICE device is being contract manufactured by an end-to-end solution provider that offers New Product Introduction (NPI) services to mass production capabilities for leading medical electronic device companies. This includes full turn-key manufacturing, full system integration, including PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing, assembly services, testing and packaging in facilities that meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance.

The ALICE device is intended to provide potential advantages in medical device design, including a large touchscreen and novel colorful graphical presentation, that increases the visibility and functionality of data displayed to the medical staff. The ALICE device is being designed to be both lightweight and highly durable and is designed to be equipped with long battery life. The ALICE device is intended to be indicated for use in clinical settings requiring CPB support. Inspira plans for the ALICE to be the first device to Integrate the HYLA™ Blood Sensor designed to be non-invasive, perform continuous measurements and alert physicians at real time of sudden changes in a patient's specific key blood indicators.

Inspira Technologies' goal is to set a new standard in various aspects of patient care, targeting intensive care units (ICUs), general medical units, operating theaters, emergency medical services and small urban and rural hospitals, with the focus of increasing accessibility to medical care for millions of patients worldwide.
