The Intelesens Aingeal is used to monitor and transmit physiological data to a remote application for display or analysis by a clinician. The device can be worn by ambulatory or non-ambulatory adult patients in a healthcare environment to support clinical staff when they are carrying out their routine observations or when a patient would otherwise be in an unmonitored or unobserved situation.This re-usable device is intend to be used on the patient for short term periods only.The device is intended to be used on adult patients for monitoring of ECG, respiration, heart rate, skin temperature and activity levels in a healthcare setting.The device can be used where information on ECG, respiration, heart rate, skin temperature, and activity levels would be useful.The device uses on-board ECG arrhythmia detection algorithms to automatically record and send ECG data if the user is suspected to be experiencing an arrhythmia event. The device transmits the data to the remote application at user defined intervals or upon the detection of an arrhythmia event (arrhythmia or threshold breach).
An assembly of devices designed to continuously measure and wirelessly transmit electrocardiographic (ECG) signals from a patient to a receiving location (e.g., central station, bedside monitor) for viewing. It typically consists of a portable transmitter with antenna and attached sensors (e.g., leads and electrodes) that are connected to the patient, as well as a receiver typically incorporated into a central station or bedside monitor that receives, consolidates, and displays the information. The system is typically used for ambulatory patients who require continuous monitoring (e.g., patients in step-down care areas).
