Real-time surgical
leak detection technology

The first and only real-time, quantifiable leak detection test built on an advanced constant flow insufflator

About Qaelon

Qaelon is dedicated to reducing the devastating impact of surgical leaks on patients while empowering surgeons with the ability to intervene before the patient leaves the operating room.

Our mission is to provide real-time, reliable detection of surgical leaks, enhancing patient safety, and surgical outcomes.

Our Technology

Qaelon's breakthrough technology utilizes digital sensors and proprietary software, along with advanced data algorithms, to accurately detect tiny leaks (<1mm) that are often missed by the "air bubble" test. Our patented solution replaces error-prone analog visual tests, setting a new standard in surgical leak detection.

Quantifiable Data

Data-driven, standardized test results are exportable to EMR

Our Technology

Step 1 - Insert

A tube set is inserted into the target organ and connected to the system.

Step 2 - Automated Test Sequence

The system automatically inflates the target organ under precisely controlled parameters.

Step 3 - Display Results

Gas concentrations are continuously analyzed in real-time using our specialized sensors and proprietary algorithms.

Data Output

No change in CO2 and O2 concentration indicates NO LEAK.

Decreases in CO2 and increases in O2 concentration definitively indicates a LEAK.

Collaborators

Our Partnerships

Qaelon Medical is collaborating with Caresyntax to leverage their surgical intelligence platform to capture real world evidence that proves the accuracy of our system, and quantifies the impact on leak rates and total healthcare costs.

We are also partnering with leading medtech companies to integrate their device data into our RWE algorithms to better predict the risk factors of surgical leaks.
