Leading the Way With Pivotal Technology.

With a long lineage of "first to market" products and services, we continue to develop pivotal technologies that improve the quality of care and lower the cost of care. From miniaturized sensors to sophisticated algorithms and software applications, we continue to lead the way into a new era of quality care—through the perfect storm and beyond. We’re not biggest of breed, just best of breed.

First to market innovations across the continuum of care:

  • Cap-ONE: The world’s first mainstream CO2 sensor specifically designed for non-intubated patients
  • Smart Modular Cable: The world’s first cable technology containing miniaturized circuitry with programming capabilities that embed into the monitor allowing complete modular flexibility at a significantly lower cost.
  • NTX: The NTX is the world’s first ergonomically designed wireless telemetry transmitter that allows patients the freedom to ambulate while monitoring respiration, oxygen saturation, heart rate and non-invasive blood pressure.
  • Prefense™ Early Detection and Notification System™: The world’s first Early Detection and Notification System™ that allows hospital patients to freely ambulate while measuring respiration, oxygen saturation, heart rate and non-invasive blood pressure—4 of the 7 critical parameters that trigger a Rapid Response Team. Prefense is the first wireless ambulatory Defensive Monitoring™ solution for hospitals today.
