The series, including Efficia CM10, Efficia CM12, Efficia CM100, Efficia CM120, Efficia CM150, can be customized for a variety of patient types, acuity levels and clinical settings, and comes with an intuitive user-interface to ease the burden on busy clinician workflow.

PROVIDING REMOTE YET TIMELY INTERVENTION

Diagnosis in the early stages of cardiac-related illness can help slow the progression of disease, improve patient care and reduce healthcare costs. The Efficia ECG100acquisition device is a cost-effective cardiograph that measures and displays12-channel ECGs in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The portable product seamlessly functions with application-enabled Android smart phones and tablets, even without WiFi, allowing ECG technicians to quickly and remotely consult with off-site cardiologists and general practitioners. It also allows clinicians to access past ECGs, and email ECG reports to specialists. The device comes with the ability to store high-resolution PDFs, which can be printed on regular A4 paper, instead of the more costly thermal paper. The ability to share and analyze up-to-the-minute medical information with a specialist allows for earlier intervention, and expands access to care for patients in resource-constrained healthcare settings.

PROVIDING CRITICAL CARE WHERE IT IS NEEDED MOST

To deliver quality care, clinicians need to make quick, informed decisions when responding to an emergency and caring for a patient across the entire course of treatment. The Efficia DFM100 defibrillator/monitor is designed to be easy to use for both basic and advanced life support care providers to meet the demands of patient care in pre-hospital and hospital environments effectively and consistently.

Efficia DFM100 provides functionalities needed to enhance patient care, regardless of where they are located. It is also scalable to ensure affordability across all care settings.
