Perfusionists are a special group: intelligent yet approachable. Knowledgeable, yet eager to learn. Intensely inquisitive, yet gracious. Together with two of Transonic’s finest employees, the author was privileged to spend three days in the company of these perfusionists.

In fairness, despite the perfusionists’ brilliant intellects, and our equally brilliant smiles, our new DLP application was the star of Transonic’s show. Unlike most of the steampunk-looking tech (bristling with hoses and dials) which filled other booths and required near-mystical levels of explanation, our DLP did the heavy lifting for us. As a perfusionists approached the booth, we would hear one of two exclamations: “That is a great idea!” Or, even more often: “Oh how cute!” (in reference to our exquisitely proportioned little sensor.)

But returning to the first response, we were pleased to see how quickly and fully perfusionists embraced (and desired) our newest flow measurement application. Someone once made a statement that all truth, when well understood, is simple. And so it is with our DLP sensor.

ECMO is a last line of defense for some of the most vulnerable patients, so the ECMO road which perfusionists walk often looks more like a tightrope. Distal limb ischemia has cost many legs, and even worse, many lives. But with Transonic’s DLP sensor clipped around the reperfusion tubing, perfusionists can monitor the flow in real-time, giving them the heads-up before either ischemia or compartment syndrome can strike. As you might imagine, perfusionists grasped the value of this immediately with “That’s a great idea!”

So indeed AmSECT 2025 was a whirlwind of great conversations, lead generation, and most importantly, the beginnings of new relationships, professional and friendly.

We’re already looking forward to next year…

…Almost as much as we’re looking forward to the good that our perfusionist colleagues will do with our DLP sensor in the meantime.
