Executive Summary
Cardiac Telecom (US) has received US FDA clearance to market its HEARTrac I cardiac monitoring system. The device requires a telephone socket and electrical point to operate, meaning any hospital bed can be turned into a monitoring site, says the company. Cardiac Telecom aims eventually "to bring automatic, real-time monitoring home - where the patient belongs - and to expand its use to include ... respiratory and foetal monitoring, sports medicine and blood oxygen level measurement", says company founder Alois Langer.
