The European Union has given approval to BIOTRONIK’s latest home monitoring system for wireless communication between implantable devices and physicians back at the clinic.
From the press release:
Over seven years ago, BIOTRONIK was first to develop and introduce, an internet-based remote monitoring system using the GSM telephone network and the only cardiac device manufacturer to make this technology available across its entire product portfolio of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices allowing physicians to remotely monitor their patients’ clinical and device status from anywhere in the world. In fact, BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring is the only system available on the market that enables remote device follow up at any time.
Continuing its leadership in pioneering telecardiology, the newly approved BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring platform leads the industry in technological advancements. BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring has integrated a traffic-light, severity-based display of patients’ status to easily identify the most important information with just one click, allowing physicians to quickly review the clinical status of patients at a glance. The system provides one continuously updated and consolidated online CardioReport which includes physicians’ acknowledgements and review actions to minimize alert notifications to the most clinically relevant. Easy to read clinical information, including heart failure and atrial fibrillation diagnostics, an intracardiac electrogram, IEGM-Online HD®, (a tracing representing the heart’s electrical activity similar to an ECG but taken from inside the heart) as well as information related to device integrity is automatically available on the BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring system. Physicians can also customize alert-parameters on an individual or group patient basis, via the secured website, to ensure consistent patient triage. In addition, using BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring physicians and clinics can establish collaborative care management networks to optimize cardiovascular patient coordination and to enhance workflow efficiencies within one or more clinics.
