Continuous Event Recording
Curvus wireless technology analyses recorded ECG signals in real-time and detects irregular cardiac events, which instantly are transmitted to the physician for follow-up. All recordings are stored for later download and off-line analysis facilitating a broader examination procedure. Possibility of correlating arrhythmias and physical activities.
The Curvus System
The Curvus System consists of a wireless sensor, a receiver and a data suite together with an underlying infrastructure which can be provided by Curvus or an independent 3rd party supplier.
Curvus ECG Sensor
The Curvus ECG sensor is small disposable “electronic electrode” with a convenient design. The sensor is easy to use, with a positive patient satisfaction, and less discomfort than with existing recorders, enabling the patient to carry out daily life activities in his own environment. The sensor can operate for 72 hours without any user interaction, and has incorporated a short range wireless radio continuously communication with the Curvus receiver.
Curvus Receiver
The Curvus Receiver is a handheld device receiving a continuous data stream from the wireless sensors for permanent storage and analysis of irregular events. Data can be transmitted through open standards to underlying infrastructure via GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth or a wireless network, making the system easy to integrate in the medical market today.
Curvus Software Suite
The Curvus Software Suite is a computer software package containing applications for working with the Curvus Receiver and viewing the recorded data. When configuring the Curvus Receiver, the medical personnel are guided by wizards. Recorded data can be exported to analysing software systems
What you can detect with the wireless Curvus System:
The figure shows a typical arrhythmia event, detected by the wireless Curvus System obtained from the patient, a 67 year old male. In the first recording sequence at the top, the heart rate is quite stable at 55, suddenly a ventricular extra systole causes the start of a tachycardia with a heart rate above 100, lasting for 4 min 20 sec, followed by a cardiac block sequence, after which the heart rate slowly returned to a normal level.
