University Hospitals of Cleveland Finds Significant Benefits of Noninvasive DynaPulse Home-Hemodynamic Monitoring Technology in Pilot Implementation
Receives IRB Approval to Expand the Scope of Home- Hemodynamic Monitoring Study SAN DIEGO, CA.- -Pulse Metric, Inc. today announced the completion and initial results of a pilot implementation of the company’s DynaPulse home-hemodynamic monitoring technology undertaken by University Hospitals of Cleveland aimed at evaluating the usefulness of the technology in managing and treating its heart failure patients. The pilot implementation has been underway for approximately six months, during which time the company’s home-hemodynamic monitoring technology has been incorporated into the management and treatment regimen of 10 heart failure patients. The initial results have demonstrated a significant benefit of home-hemodynamic monitoring in at least half of the patients by facilitating early intervention, improved patient management, improved patient compliance, and overall improved cost-effectiveness in managing, intervening, and treating this group of heart failure patients. Subsequently, the hospital IRB has granted approval to conduct a study of 50 patients in efforts to further evaluate the usefulness of this technology in managing heart failure. Commenting on the results of the studies, Kimberly Huck, N.D., R.N., CCRN, University Hospitals of Cleveland Heart Failure Project Manager and study coordinator, said: “The results of the pilot implementation of the DynaPulse home-hemodynamic monitoring technology have been very encouraging. In several of the patients the technology has allowed us to intervene much earlier than would have otherwise been possible, which as a result has provided us with a tool to more cost-effectively manage and treat patients who are getting into trouble prior to the situation becoming emergent.” Dr. Huck added, “This technology has also proven to be very useful in allowing medications to be successfully up-titrated while the physiologic effects are monitored from within the patients’ homes, eliminating the need for additional office visits during the up-titration process". Bill Nydam, Pulse Metric’s Chief Executive Officer, added: “These results provide another strong indication that non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring is of significant value to the management and treatment of heart failure. DynaPulse is the only technology that can offer heart failure programs the ability to remotely monitor patients’ hemodynamic status easily and affordably through a simple upper-arm blood pressure cuff. In addition, we believe that the expanded home monitoring study being undertaken by University Hospitals of Cleveland will reinforce these preliminary results, providing further evidence that this is a cost-effective tool to help physicians manage heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases.” About Pulse Metric, Inc.
Pulse Metric designs, manufactures and markets products and services that transform a simple blood pressure reading into a powerful functional profile of the patient’s cardiovascular system, including cardiac output, vessel compliance, vascular resistance and left ventricular contractility. Within seconds of uploading a DynaPulse blood pressure waveform to the DynaPulse Analysis Center website, 17 hemodynamic parameters are calculated, displayed and trended, providing clinicians with numeric values profiling the heart’s pumping performance, blood vessel elasticity and vascular resistance, against normative ranges. The company believes the simplicity of its methodology and the significance of the information provided to the physician will improve quality of care while reducing costs. Pulse Metric has been granted nine patents in support of its proprietary technology. **** PMI 040802 ****
