A unique diagnostic package that allows you to pre-screen your patient population for the absence of Apnoea while also detecting cardiac anomolies.
When breathing in and out the heart moves in 3 dimensions in relation to standard ECG electrodes. By recording at 8000Hz (samples per second) in combination with 15bit resolution the Medilog Darwin Apnoea can use this heart movement to derive a respiration curve from the ECG.
Using Medilog Darwin Apnoea software and features such as the Apnoea strips you can now screen out those patients that don't need polysomnography and also help find cardiac patients that have apnoea events. The qustion is......
-
Is the Apnoea causing the pause in your ECG or the pause causing your apnoea?
-
Are you routinely pacing your Apnoea patients?
-
Do you CPAP you patients pauses?
Medilog Darwin Apnoea is not a Holter system it is an independent screening device.
Just some of the reasons why Medilog Darwin Apnoea is so important... Up to 30% of all patients admitted for costly sleep polysomnography screening don't actually have sleep apnoea. What they often have are undiagnosed cardiac problems which continue to go undetected; conversly many heart patients have sleep apnoea. By the time patients become symptomatic their health may have deteriorated considerably and health care costs increased dramatically.
Medilog Darwin Apnoea now puts reliable, affordable and non-inavsive ambulatory screening in the hands of people that can make a difference.
