Medtronic’s Physio-Control has partnered with AirStrip Technologies to bring real-time monitoring of cardiac data from the ambulance straight to a physician’s iPhone or iPad. Physio-Control’s top of the line LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators will transmit ECG data via the firm’s LIFENET system to AirStrip’s CARDIOLOGY app, allowing doctors to provide immediate assistance to EMS crews handling complicated patients. In related news, Medtronic has announced FDA clearance of LIFENET 5.0, the latest version of the reporting system.
AirStrip CARDIOLOGY, deployed as a native application on smartphones and tablet devices, will receive 12-lead ECG waveforms, vital signs and other data transmitted wirelessly from EMS crews’ LIFEPAK® 12 defibrillator/monitors and 15 monitor/defibrillators in the field via the LIFENET System. Clinicians can then access the data from anywhere in the hospital and review and respond to it on their iPhone® with LIFENET Consult, a new mobile application available in the newly-released LIFENET System 5.0. In addition, clinicians who are AirStrip users will have advanced viewing capabilities, with high fidelity waveform analysis, displaying 12-lead ECG reports with sharp resolution and providing dynamic review tools such as calipers, 12-lead ECG scrolling, cine loop views of each lead, and other features and functionalities not yet seen in the EMS environment for 12-lead ECG review and patient management.
The integrated solution empowers clinicians to communicate immediately with the EMS crew to provide the clinical assistance needed to properly care for the patient while en route, direct them to the appropriate care facility and prepare for the arrival of the patient accordingly. With the integrated solution, these capabilities are available to clinicians anytime, anywhere on their smartphone or tablet device.
