Caretaker Medical, a digital health provider of wireless patient monitoring technologies, has received FDA 510(k) clearance for four new continuous hemodynamic parameters, adding cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate variability, and left ventricular ejection time to its VitalStream non-invasive patient monitoring platform.
The VitalStream wireless wearable is built for high-acuity, ICU-grade hemodynamic monitoring without limiting patient mobility or requiring invasive catheters and wires that tether patients to bedside equipment.
The new advanced hemodynamic measurements are built on Caretaker’s proprietary Pulse Decomposition Analysis waveform analysis technology which uses a simple and comfortable Finger Sensor to measure continuous cuffless blood pressure and hemodynamics to eliminate “blind-spots” between manual spot-check measurements and enable high-acuity, uninterrupted monitoring across the continuum of care, including critical-care, sub-acute, emergency, medical-surgical floors, hospital-at-home, and other environments. VitalStream provides actionable, beat-by-beat data to help clinicians identify patient deterioration earlier, intervene earlier, and optimize treatment decisions such as whether and when to administer fluids, drugs, or therapies.
