Extended cardiac monitoring system provides instant and accurate patient information through automated data transmissions THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 8
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- eCardio Diagnostics, LLC
announced the launch of the eVolution(SM), a single-component cardiac
monitoring system that provides instant and accurate patient information
through automated data transmissions.
"The eVolution(SM) is the next leap forward in extended daily monitoring,"
noted Robert Jordan, Executive Vice President for eCardio. "The simple
configuration offers patients a more convenient remote monitoring option while
continuing to provide physicians with real-time information about the cardiac
health of their patients."
The eVolution(SM) automatically detects and records cardiac rhythm events
and transmits the data to the eLab, eCardio's 24-hour state-of-the-art
monitoring center. The device provides continuous computerized monitoring by
means of a micro-processor running an exclusive auto-detecting algorithm. This
technology delivers real-time data analysis, allowing physicians to discover
both symptomatic and asymptomatic arrhythmias with speed and precision.
In addition, the eVolution(SM) offers:
-- A Single Component System, eliminating the cumbersome monitor, modem
and base station associated with traditional ambulatory cardiac telemetry
systems;
-- Flexibility for physicians to remotely program the device while being
worn by the patient;
-- Customized parameters to more effectively monitor changing patient
conditions or specific patient requirements; and
-- Convenience for patients with minimal interruptions to the patient's
daily routine.
"Diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias is a complicated and
challenging process and timing plays a crucial part," Nadim Nasir Jr., M.D.,
F.A.C.C. Director of Clinical Electrophysiology Services and Medical Director
of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Lab at Methodist DeBakey Heart Center,
commented. "The eVolution's instant detection and transmission features
deliver immediate reports with minimal artifact, which allows me to make more
precise treatment decisions for my patients."
The eVolution(SM) also enhances patient compliance by simplifying the
set-up and the extended monitoring process.
As with all of eCardio's arrhythmia monitoring products, the eVolution(SM)
monitors are complimentary to enrolled physicians and monitoring services
provided by eCardio are covered by commercial insurance and Medicare.
eCardio will offer hands-on demonstrations of the eVolution(SM) at the
upcoming American Heart Association's Annual Scientific Sessions, November
9-11, 2008 in New Orleans.
About the eVolution(SM)
The eVolution(SM) is a single-component cardiac monitor system that
provides instant and accurate patient information through automated data
transmissions. The monitor is indicated for diagnostic evaluation of patients
who experience transient symptoms such as palpitations or syncope. It is
intended to record cardiac activity associated with these infrequent and
transient symptoms. Once data is recorded, patients transmit the recorded ECG
data wirelessly or over a telephone line to a host PC for review by a licensed
physician.
The eVolution(SM) adheres to patient privacy standards and requirements
for the electronic transmission of health information, as set forth by the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
