SunTech Medical Launches Hemodialysis OEM NIBP Technology
MORRISVILLE, N.C. (Business Wire EON) April 21, 2008 --
SunTech Medical launches their Advantage™ HDM
(Hemodialysis Monitoring) OEM Non-invasive Blood Pressure (OEM NIBP)
technology designed specifically for monitoring blood pressure during
hemodialysis. This application-specific technology recently achieved an
A rating for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement
according to the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol.
SunTech Medical recognized the need to address concerns over the
accuracy of automated blood pressure measurements on hemodialysis
patients. In response, they investigated an oscillometric blood pressure
technology for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients during
hemodialysis. The results provide a break-through in clinical-grade
accuracy for non-invasive automated blood pressure measurement on ESRD
patients.
Although recommended, current validation protocols and guidelines do not
require blood pressure monitors to be validated on specific patient
populations. Consequently, most are validated on readily available
healthy volunteers. In this regard, special efforts were made by
focusing not only on ESRD patients, but in the environment for which the
technology was intended by performing the evaluation during dialysis
treatment. This makes SunTech Medical the only current provider of OEM
NIBP technology validated for use during hemodialysis treatment.
SunTech Medical wishes to thank the patients and staff at Dr. Georges-L.
Dumont Regional Hospital Nephrology Center (Moncton, New Brunswick,
Canada). The study was approved by both Health Canada and the Hospital’s
ethics review board. All subjects were adult volunteers with ESRD
currently receiving hemodialysis treatment.
