"CareCenter MD delivers superior ease-of-use and efficiency," said Rene Mitchell, Cardiac Science director of marketing. "It's the first PC-based diagnostic workstation that supports both resting ECG and stress testing with a wireless data acquisition module. And, it allows physicians to comply with pending electronic record mandates even if they have not yet chosen an electronic medical record (EMR) partner."

The CareCenter MD diagnostic workstation features:

  • Wireless data acquisition: A Bluetooth connection between the patient and the diagnostic workstation removes the need for cables, providing the opportunity for physicians to perform testing in a wider range of settings.
  • Advanced connectivity: Physicians can read, analyze, and confirm patient tests from anywhere with a secure internet connection. While no EMR is required to view data with CareCenter MD, records can be easily transferred to an EMR if desired.
  • Shared patient database: Data for both ECG and stress tests are stored in the same database and can be easily accessed and reviewed, allowing physicians to make real-time comparisons of historical versus current patient data.  
  • Modern user interface: A simple and intuitive interface featuring one-button navigation makes CareCenter MD easy-to-use, reducing the need for training and allowing fast and efficient workflow.


"This is another important new product for our cardiac monitoring business," said Dave Marver, Cardiac Science president and chief executive officer. "We are extending our leadership in primary care cardiology in 2010 with a series of technology introductions."
