New Medical Device Software Platform Delivers Advanced, Real-time Diagnostic Testing
MINNEAPOLIS - July 20, 2004 - QRS Diagnostic, leader in innovative design and
development of software-based medical devices, announces the release of Office
Medic™ 5.0, its patient information management system. The 5.0 version
complements QRS computer card medical devices to support real-time diagnostic
testing. A new software platform, developed with .NET tools, Office Medic 5.0
works with QRS devices to provide caregivers with the flexibility and mobility
to perform diagnostic tests and securely manage the results on standard PDAs,
Pocket PCs and laptop computers at the point of care.
QRS designed Office
Medic 5.0 to address the security and confidentiality requirements of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It requires and manages
user authentication and access privileges, and logs all transactions. The new
software, which also features an advanced user interface for managing patients
and tests, now delivers device support with discrete Active X, COM, and other
component technologies to support integration with third-party software and
devices.
Office Medic 5.0 is offered with QRS software-based devices for
spirometry, pulse oximetry, diagnostic electrocardiography and blood pressure
monitoring. QRS devices, with their integrated physiological sensors, connect
with off-the-shelf laptop computers, Pocket PCs and PDAs, turning them into
mobile medical devices.
