FDA Clearance for U.S. Distribution of Oscar 2™ ABPM with SphygmoCor®

Oscar w/ SphygmoCor Inside

Morrisville, NC (March 2nd, 2016) - SunTech Medical and AtCor Medical have received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for U.S. distribution of their jointly developed Oscar 2 ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) with SphygmoCor Inside. The Oscar 2 with SphygmoCor Inside provides physicians, researchers and pharmaceutical companies with noninvasive measures of central arterial pressure waveforms, central aortic blood pressures and arterial stiffness indices, as well as the highly-accurate data associated with a 24-hour ABPM study.

In addition to AtCor Medical’s proprietary SphygmoCor Inside technology, the Oscar 2 uses SunTech Medical’s motion-tolerant technology to eliminate ambulation and noise artifacts that cause failed readings and the need for repeated studies. A comfortable, form-fitting sleeve design ensures proper cuff position throughout the study as well as consistent, accurate readings. Patented sub-diastolic waveform measurement delivers a fully-featured physiological waveform with accurate augmentation index in all patients 18 and over. Additionally, the monitor is designed to be used with SunTech’s AccuWin Pro 4 software, allowing data to be directly exported to a computer database for efficient programming, measurement analysis and physician interpretation and report.
