Cardiac Science expanded its ECG and
cardiac stress product lines with CareCenter MD, a multimodality
PC-based diagnostic workstation designed for today's physician
practices.
"CareCenter MD delivers superior ease-of-use and efficiency," said Rene
Mitchell, Cardiac Science director of marketing. "It's the first
PC-based diagnostic workstation that supports both resting ECG and
stress testing with a wireless data acquisition module. And, it allows
physicians to comply with pending electronic record mandates even if
they have not yet chosen an electronic medical record (EMR) partner."
The CareCenter MD diagnostic workstation features:
Wireless
data acquisition: A Bluetooth connection between the patient and
the diagnostic workstation removes the need for cables, providing
the opportunity for physicians to perform testing in a wider range
of settings.
Advanced connectivity: Physicians
can read, analyze, and confirm patient tests from anywhere with a
secure internet connection. While no EMR is required to view data
with CareCenter MD, records can be easily transferred to an EMR if
desired.
Shared patient database: Data for
both ECG and stress tests are stored in the same database and can be
easily accessed and reviewed, allowing physicians to make real-time
comparisons of historical versus current patient data.
Modern user interface: A simple and
intuitive interface featuring one-button navigation makes CareCenter
MD easy-to-use, reducing the need for training and allowing fast and
efficient workflow.
"This is another
important new product for our cardiac monitoring business," said Dave
Marver, Cardiac Science president and chief executive officer. "We are
extending our leadership in primary care cardiology in 2010 with a
series of technology introductions."
