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).
