SunTech Medical Launches Hemodialysis OEM NIBP Technology

SunTech Medical launches their Advantage(TM) HDM (Hemodialysis
Monitoring) OEM Non-invasive Blood Pressure (OEM NIBP) technology
designed specifically for monitoring blood pressure during
hemodialysis. This application-specific technology recently achieved
an A rating for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement
according to the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol.

SunTech Medical recognized the need to address concerns over the
accuracy of automated blood pressure measurements on hemodialysis
patients. In response, they investigated an oscillometric blood
pressure technology for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients during
hemodialysis. The results provide a break-through in clinical-grade
accuracy for non-invasive automated blood pressure measurement on ESRD
patients.

Although recommended, current validation protocols and guidelines
do not require blood pressure monitors to be validated on specific
patient populations. Consequently, most are validated on readily
available healthy volunteers. In this regard, special efforts were
made by focusing not only on ESRD patients, but in the environment for
which the technology was intended by performing the evaluation during
dialysis treatment. This makes SunTech Medical the only current
provider of OEM NIBP technology validated for use during hemodialysis
treatment.

SunTech Medical wishes to thank the patients and staff at Dr.
Georges-L. Dumont Regional Hospital Nephrology Center (Moncton, New
Brunswick, Canada). The study was approved by both Health Canada and
the Hospital´s ethics review board. All subjects were adult volunteers
with ESRD currently receiving hemodialysis treatment.
