About IntuBrite

• The idea for IntuBrite's HyperVisualization System^TM was developed in early 2008 by working Fire Captain/Paramedic Jim Tenger.
  
  Captain Tenger had been experimenting with various methods of altering the illumination of the airway passages by utilizing Ultraviolet (UV) light sources, and had found that this so-called “blacklight” would cause the vocal cords to “glow”white in stark contrast to the surrounding structures and tissue. Researching the phenomenon, he discovered that the vocal cords, being ligamentous, contained high levels of phosphorous which, when struck by the blacklight, would “phosphoresce”.
  
  Further experimentation, varying the wavelength of UV light and adding white LED light, succeeded in producing an even more dramatic visual “landscape” inside the airway passage, using shadow and light variation to better outline the texture and structure of areas within the operator’s field of view. Furthermore, the combination of blacklight and white LED appeared to effectively diminish the reflectivity from fluids within the passage, providing greatly enhanced visualization.
  
  Captain Tenger and associates obtained permission from the office of the Medical Examiner in San Diego, California to take real-time photographs of the tissues in cadaver airways. These photographs clearly documented the hypervisualization effects produced by the newly developed lighting protocol.
  
  Final development of the intial product offerings has been completed and the Company is awaiting first delivery of laryngoscope blades and ergonomic handles in October, 2009, with selling to begin on or about November 1st.
