QRS Diagnostic Introduces its Re-designed OxiCard® Medical Device.
Software-based Pulse Oximeter Shrinks from a PC Card to a Compact Flash (CF) Card.
MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) - September 3, 2003 – QRS Diagnostic, leader in
innovative design and development of software-based medical devices contained in
computer cards, announces the introduction of its re-designed OxiCard®, a pulse
oximeter that provides instant, noninvasive measurement of pulse rates and
oxygen saturation in the blood. The re-designed device is built into a Compact
Flash (CF) Card.
“QRS combines software technology and medical device
technology to develop affordable, upgradeable and mobile diagnostic devices. Our
new OxiCard takes advantage of Pocket PCs that integrate CF Cards, so it now
works with a broader range of handheld PCs that do not require add-on expansion
slots,” says Spencer Lien, chief executive officer, QRS Diagnostic. “In
addition, OxiCard’s new fingertip sensor obtains accurate readings even from
patients with weak blood flow in their fingers, and it functions effectively
even in noisy environments.”
OxiCard is one in the complete line of QRS
computer card devices that turn off-the-shelf PCs and PDAs into powerful,
portable diagnostic workstations. All QRS devices can communicate to the
company’s Office Medicä Integrated Data Management System (IDMS), providing
clinicians instant access to physiological data anywhere on their networks.
Office Medic can also interface easily with electronic medical record
systems.
