Signalife launched the sales of its new, FDA-approved, ambulatory 12-lead ECG cardiovascular monitor, the Fidelity 100.
The Fidelity 100 is a patient module that wirelessly transmits the ECG to a data collection device (laptop), which reportedly can store up to 2500 hours of data. During patient evaluation, a physician can mark events of interest. After the ECG procedure, marked events can be quickly evaluated and data can be stored to flash memory for future evaluation, said the company.
One innovation in ECG is its use in the customer wearable market, which will tie more closely into the clinical world either with using the data to triage patients and/or patients seeking medical attention prior to acute symptoms appearing.
Use of traditional Holter monitor leads can be an issue for patient compliance and comfort. The newer generation ambulatory cardiac monitors use a small, adhesive patch that sticks directly on the patient's chest and allows them to shower and go about daily activities without a belt mounted monitor or leads getting in the way. This is especially important for longer term monitoring of seven days or longer.
Just as a Doppler radar color image shows the energy of a storm, MyoVista provides physicians a detailed visual image of the energy distribution during the cardiac cycle.
