FDA green lights AirStrip smartphone patient monitoring tool
AirStrip Technologies has received FDA clearance to market the AirStrip remote patient monitoring tool (RPM), including AirStrip RPM Critical Care and AirStrip RPM Cardiology.
With FDA clearance in place, AirStrip now extends its patient monitoring technology for acute-care patient clinical settings, including the intensive care unit, the emergency department, the operating room and the neonatal intensive care unit, according to the San Antonio-based company.
The AirStrip RPM tool allows clinicians remote access to critical patient data in virtual real time. Medical professionals will use their smartphones to see vital signs, critical waveform data and other clinical information, which is sent directly from the hospital and can be accessed from a cellphone or other wireless connections, the company stated.
Initially developed for the Apple iPhone operating system, the AirStrip RPM Critical Care and Cardiology technologies will now be available to medical professionals who use the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, iPod touch and the iPad.
