According to the manufacturer, the CE certified and FDA approved LIFEBRIDGE B2T ("Bridge to Therapy") can quickly stabilise a patient's condition as an extracorporeal circulatory support.

The system can assume the functions of the heart and lung in emergency situations or when moving patients from a primary treating hospital to a specialised clinic. It can also be used as a backup system for invasive diagnostics and interventional therapy in catheter laboratories.
