Corventis, Inc., a developer of wireless cardiovascular solutions designed to enable early detection, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular conditions, announced CE marking for the company’s AVIVO™ Mobile Patient Management System. Physicians and patients in the European Union and other countries that accept CE Mark now have access to the company’s noninvasive, wireless solution to evaluate physiological changes and monitor signs of cardiac irregularities in patients away from the hospital.
The AVIVO Mobile Patient Management System was designed to provide focused insight into the cardiac health status of patients, such as those suffering from heart failure, by combining the patient-friendly PiiXTM wearable sensor with advanced computational algorithms, global wireless capabilities and a comprehensive web-based infrastructure. Physiological trends including heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, fluid status, activity and posture are captured and automatically transmitted for personalized review by healthcare professionals. Physicians are also provided actionable information when an irregularity in the patient’s cardiac rhythm occurs, helping to further diagnose potential health risks remotely from anywhere across the globe.
“Corventis is advancing healthcare worldwide, and the CE mark for the AVIVO Mobile Patient Management System is one additional milestone in our efforts to deliver on this promise,” said Ed Manicka, PhD, President and CEO of Corventis. “With both FDA clearance and CE marking, we are able to bring the future of wireless cardiovascular medicine to even more physicians and their patients around the world.”
According to the European Society of Cardiology, over 15 million patients are suffering with heart failure in Europe. It is estimated that the condition is responsible for approximately 5% of all acute medical admissions in the region as well.
