CARDIONET: MOBILE CARDIAC OUTPATIENT TELEMETRY
CardioNet developed and introduced a new, integrated technology and service – Mobile Cardiac
Outpatient Telemetry – which allows heartbeat-by-heartbeat ECG monitoring, analysis and
response, at home or away, 24/7/365.
CardioNet’s Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) assists physicians in the diagnosis
and management of difficult-to-diagnose arrhythmias. Given the infrequent and asymptomatic
nature of some arrhythmias, it is often challenging to capture an event with conventional
monitoring technology, such as Holter and cardiac event monitoring.
The CardioNet System detects and transmits both symptomatic and asymptomatic
arrhythmias, based on monitoring parameters defined by the prescribing physician. Patients
are not required to sense or transmit events. However, if patients feel symptoms they can use
the touch screen on the CardioNet monitor to enter their symptoms and activity level, which
are transmitted to the CardioNet Monitoring Center along with their ECG. The physician
receives a daily telemetry report containing a representative ECG strip of the events detected;
a time and date stamp of the event, including any reported symptoms and activity.
The CardioNet device retains up to 720 hours of ECG data on each patient, allowing
physicians to request additional data through “fetch” requests to the CardioNet Monitoring
Center.
CardioNet MCOT offers physicians a powerful new diagnostic and patient management tool for
a wide range of monitoring indications.
