Research Triangle Park, NC, USA - June 26, 2007
SunTech Medical announced today that it has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the SunTech 247™ Diagnostic Station – a modular device that will provide manual and automated blood pressure as well as optional temperature and SpO2 measurements. The SunTech 247™ will launch into global distribution beginning in August.
SunTech Medical, known for its popular Tango+ automated blood pressure monitor for exercise stress testing, has designed the SunTech 247™ as a clinical-grade BP device that bridges the gap between manual sphygmomanometers and vital signs devices.
"The SunTech 247™ Diagnostic Station is the first clinical grade product to offer automated BP measurement with a manual back-up mode, making it a very reliable BP device for healthcare providers," stated Dayn McBee, CEO. "Even the best oscillometric monitors may occasionally fail to get a BP reading. Now; however, we provide a simple way to get an accurate reading even in difficult measurement situations."
The SunTech 247™ is offered as an affordable replacement for mechanical blood pressure gauges. The modular plug-and-play design allows the clinician to add additional temperature and pulse oximetry parameters at a later time, if needed. Flexible mounting systems include wall, table-top, and mobile stand configurations.
