| White Paper: | A Comparison of the CAS Medical NIBP Provided in the Medtronic LifePak 12 Defibrillator vs. the SunTech Medical Advantage 2 OEM Module |
| Abstract: |
For over 20 years, SunTech Medical has been a leading provider of Blood Pressure (BP) products. Our sole focus on blood pressure has allowed us to study various patient populations and to design equipment specific to their particular needs. ur monitors and OEM NIBP modules are used in many medical environments where accurate Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) readings are critical. These environments can have significantly different requirements. Recognizing these differences prompted the development and validation of proprietary motion tolerant, dialysis, pediatric and neonatal algorithms as well as auscultatory and oscillometric NIBP measurement technologies. This available array of tools allows us to apply the most appropriate solution to the specific clinical need. For several years we have focused on the prehospital market and the requirements of taking trustworthy blood pressure readings on these patients. The requirements are especially onerous due to the dynamic EMS environment and possible changes in a critical patient’s physiology. One can expect reliability and accuracy from most well made instruments in perfect environments. Variability of patients aside, the field can be separated by how they perform in a real world environment encountered by EMS professionals. |
