Cardiac Science Corporation, a provider of cardiac monitoring, defibrillation and rehabilitative products, is using Colubris (News - Alert) WLAN equipment to mobilize its portable electrocardiograph (ECG) devices at healthcare institutions.

 

By utilizing Colubris WLAN equipment, Cardiac Science enables wireless connectivity for its portable ECG carts. The technology allows technicians to receive ECG orders instantly and conduct tests at the patient bedside, without having to connect the cart to a physical cable. When the tests are completed, the results are immediately transmitted using Colubris’ secure encryption technology, back to Pyramis and the HIS. This ensures the rapid delivery of results.

 

According to Colubris healthcare organizations can streamline workflow and improve productivity by leveraging the ability of the technician to go directly to the bedside, without having to take a detour for a hard- wired connection.

 

Greg Newman, director, product management at Cardiac Science said in a statement that their top-of-the-line Quinton Eclipse Premier ECG has everything a hospital needs for interpretive electrocardiograph technology. The solution allows clinicians to receive orders, instantly transmit test results and make a diagnosis quicker with the 802.11 wireless Ethernet capabilities provided by Colubris Networks.

 

Newman noted that the enhanced connectivity solution from Colubris is already very well received by their healthcare customers.

 

Tom Racca, vice president of marketing, Colubris explained that in the highly complex healthcare sector, where minutes count much more than in other industries, hospitals and healthcare providers are constantly looking to deliver faster, more accurate clinical results to physicians without increasing costs.

 

Through wireless technology, Cardiac Science gives its customers secure and fast access to vital clinical information. By being able to obtain faster results at lower cost, healthcare organizations can also treat their patients more effectively, improving patient outcomes.

 

Colubris Networks is a global provider of intelligent wireless networks (WLANs) for enterprises and service providers.
