The quantum heater-cooler can help with challenges as:

  • M. chimaera infections have a poor prognosis, with a mortality rate about 50 percent2,18,19
  • Continual lack of awareness has hampered attempts to fully contain M. chimaera infections20
  • Current anti-mycobacterial therapy causes significant toxicity21
  • Redo surgeries to remove contaminated prosthetic material are associated with high rates of complications21
  • Eradication of M. chimaera is extremely difficult as the bacteria is resistant to disinfection22,24,25
