Has seca re-invented weighing and measuring?

seca 360° wireless - all the benefits at a glance

1. Wireless communication instead of cable connections.
2. System components can be set up anywhere.
3. seca's own secure wireless protocol for simple and fast recognition of devices in the seca 360° wireless network.
4. Paperless and error-free transmission of measurements.
5. Software seca analytics 105 for diagnostic assistance based on highly qualified analysis and assessment of health status and nutritional condition of the patient.
6. Graphic presentation of measurements and their comparison to standard values – digital display or hard copy printout (DIN A4).
7. All measurements are EMR integrated for inclusion in electronic medical records.

Save time in measuring and analysis.

Work more quickly and more precisely – the wireless transmission of data to PCs or printer saves a lot of time in routine medical work – and prepares hospitals and doctors? offices for the future. The new seca 360° wireless network will be able to store all height and weight measurements in a seca database, feed the data directly into an EMR system and provide PDFs of additional analyses made by the seca software. Complete measuring stations like the seca 285 offer still another time-saver that should not be underestimated – that is, obtaining weight, height and BMI in a single step.

Prevent erroneous measurements.

Weighing and measuring involves much more than just operating some devices. Quite often you have to do two things at once – take care of a possibly unstable patient and write down all the measurements. In this challenging situation errors are often made in handwritten notes. But not with seca 360° wireless. The seca devices send their data directly to a seca 360° wireless printer or to the seca 360° wireless USB adapter on your PC – and also eliminate the detour over mountains of paper.

Improve the quality of your examinations.

seca 360° wireless not only makes your life easier, but also gets more out of your data by letting you conduct extensive analyses with the software seca analytics 105 on your PC. Three modules stand ready to assist you: "Energy", "Cardiometabolic Risk" and "Development/Growth". With this diagnostic assistance, you can compare your patient?s measurements with standard values, visualize development trends and generally improve the quality of your examinations.

Advise your patients at a new level of quality.

Up till now advice from a doctor was mostly verbal. Thanks to seca analytics 105, doctor?s advice can be visual too. Show your patient their energy level and cardiometabolic risk in black and white. Or use percentiles to depict the short-term and long-term changes in the height and weight of children and juveniles. Particularly in growth development questions, this function is not to be underestimated. It provides a clear and easily understood service, appreciated by everyone seated in your waiting room.

Let the seca 360° wireless work for you.

Many solutions that claim to save you time actually demand a lot of time upfront. Not the seca 360° wireless. seca?s own wireless protocol makes sure that every product is securely and automatically logged into the network when it is switched on. And it?s just as simple further down the line – with a high degree of automation that makes sure the whole operation goes quickly and smoothly without any errors.

Is the solution small, medium or large? seca 360° wireless offers solutions of every size.

With the seca 360° wireless, you can benefit from a wireless network in three different versions:

Small network: The seca 360° wireless products transmit their data directly to a seca 360° wireless printer.

Medium network: Equipped with the seca 360° wireless USB adapter, your PC receives all measurements directly from the wireless network so that you can analyze them with the software seca analytics 105.

Large network: Several seca 360° wireless products and computer form a room-spanning network. If an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system is available, the seca 360° wireless network can gain access in order to transmit height and weight directly to it and to generate other analyses in the form of a PDF.

Tele-auscultation hinges on sound quality. The better the sound quality, the more likely an auscultating clinician or remote consultant will be able to detect difficult to hear heart, lung and body sounds. And the better the ability to remotely diagnose, the more likely tele-auscultation becomes standard therapy practice. 3M™ Littmann® Stethoscopes is leading the way.

3M™ Littmann® stethoscopes are known for their exceptional sound quality. And the award-winning 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 with Bluetooth® technology is no different. In fact, clinical evidence shows it's easier to detect difficult-to-detect heart and lung sounds with the Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 vs. a high-end cardiology grade stethoscope. 1-3 Now, this great clinically-proven stethoscope has been paired with software that works for tele-auscultation. The digitally-captured sound of a patient is effortlessly sent across a secure data network to a Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 at a remote site. The consultant operating a different Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 at the remote site hears the digitally-captured sound of the patient in the exact same way as the clinician auscultating the patient. The result is an exceptional sound experience unparalleled in tele-auscultation until now. Hear it. As if you were there.

New 3M™ Littmann® Scope-to-Scope Software Transforms Tele-Auscultation Experience allowing doctors to remotely listen to patients vital signs.

With new technology announced today by 3M, a doctor in Minnesota can -- in real-time -- detect a murmur in the heart of a child in rural Arizona. Through the new 3M™ Littmann® Scope-to-Scope Tele-Auscultation System, clinicians can transfer digitally captured patient sounds in real-time, from one stethoscope to another, no matter the distance. In tandem with the innovative 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200, the Scope-to-Scope Software is transforming the tele-auscultation experience so clinicians can consult with colleagues in real-time, across data networks, anywhere in the world.

A time and money saver for both healthcare providers and patients, telemedicine has grown rapidly across the United States. Physicians and health systems are increasingly seeing the benefits of offering their primary services to an even broader population, who would not otherwise have easy access.

This Littmann stethoscope software has the ability to let physicians help patients anywhere in the world and give real time feedback between remote healthcare teams.

"As telemedicine increases in scope and usage, so does the need for high-quality equipment," said Dr. Eric Henley of North Country HealthCare in Flagstaff, Ariz., which has been conducting a study using the Littmann Stethocope-to-Stethoscope Tele-Auscultation System. "With this technology, we are now able to offer our underserved patients the same level of diagnostic care that patients can obtain in a traditional face-to-face visit without requiring them to travel."

The Littmann® Scope-to-Scope Tele-Auscultation System has the capacity to impact patient outcomes throughout the country. In the past, tele-auscultation was limited by less than desired sound quality and stethoscope equipment was not like the everyday stethoscope they used. The Littmann® Scope-to-Scope Software eliminates these challenges with intuitive technology and advanced sound quality. The heart, lung or other body sounds heard at the remote site are the same sounds heard at the patient site. The result is an exceptional sound experience in tele-auscultation.

"Clinicians anywhere in the country can simultaneously listen and consult on patient sounds from one stethoscope to another with exceptional sound quality," said Ingrid Blair, vice president of patient assessment, 3M Infection Prevention Division. "From major metropolitan areas to our most remote regions, 3M™ Littmann® products are providing the tools to break through the sound quality barrier and redefine the nature of patient care."

The Scope-to-Scope Software is paired with the Bluetooth®-enabled wireless Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200, a next-generation auscultation device that allows a clinician across the globe to detect difficult-to-hear body sounds as clearly as if he/she were right there, performing the patient exam themselves.

The Littmann® Model 3200 features ambient noise reduction technology, which eliminates approximately 85 percent of distracting background noises without filtering out critical body sounds, sound amplification up to 24 times louder than a Littmann® cardiology grade stethoscope, frictional noise reduction technology that reduces handling sounds from the chestpiece, and extended sound range frequency. Paired with the high performing, reliable and comfortable Littmann® Model 3200, the easy-to-install Scope-to-Scope Software enables equal access to world-class patient care.

Littmann stethoscopes with unique tubing colors and chestpiece finishes make excellent holiday gifts. So at this time of year it is appropriate that we announce six additions to our product line.

The decision to introduce products with these unique colors and finishes was based on input from our color consultants, on sales history of products with similar colors or finishes, on consumer research, and on input from key opinion leaders and Littmann stethoscope dealers. For example, brass as a finish has proven to be a top seller in the Classic II and Cardiology III lines, so we are now making it available in Master Cardiology.

Redding Medical is excited to offer these new colors. Visit our website to order your new stethoscope.

Nonin Medical's Onyx® II 9560 Wireless Pulse Oximeter Aids Chilean Miner Rescue: Company to also donate in-home monitoring equipment for miners' post-event care Minneapolis, Minn.--(PR Newswire)--Oct. 13, 2010--Nonin Medical, Inc., the inventor of the world's first fingertip and wireless-fingertip pulse oximeter, announced today that its Onyx® II 9560 wireless fingertip pulse oximeter is being used to aid in the ongoing rescue of 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped in a Copiapo, Chile mine since August 5. The Onyx® II Model 9560 Wireless Pulse Oximeter is being used by physicians at the scene to capture the miners' blood oxygenation and heart rate data in real time during and after each miner's 20-minute, half-mile rescue-capsule ascent to the surface. Placed on the miner's index finger, the Onyx II 9560 wirelessly transmits blood oxygen saturation and heart data via Bluetooth® technology to Zephyr Technology's BioHarness™ First Responder System. The BioHarness, a chest-worn monitoring device developed by Nonin Medical OEM partner Zephyr Technology, measures the trappedminers' heart rates, breathing rates and skin temperatures. The monitors use Bluetooth wireless technology to transmit the data to a monitor on the surface, enabling physicians to detect immediate signs of physiological stress. "As the inventor of the world's first fingertip pulse oximeter, Nonin Medical is pleased to partner with Zephyr Technology to aid the miners during this historic rescue event," said Steve Bucholz, chief operations officer, Nonin Medical, Inc. "Our pulse oximeters are reliable in the toughest conditions, but the extreme conditions of the Chilean operation make accurately measuring the miners' pulse rates and blood oxygen levels particularly challenging. Nonin's proven accuracy in the widest range of patients and settings makes the Onyx II ideally suited to the task." In addition to aiding physicians on the scene, Nonin Medical is working through its Chilean distributor, Air Liquide, to donate 33 Nonin Medical Go2 LED fingertip pulse oximeters for continued pulse oximetry monitoring after the miners arrive home. "Nonin Medical is pleased to be able to aid the miners during their immediate and long-term recovery," said Bucholz. "No one in recorded history has survived trapped underground for as long as those 33 men have. When you've been exposed to extremely poor air quality, 2,300 feet underground, for 69 days, you don't just bounce back overnight."

Nonin Medical's Onyx II 9560 wireless pulse oximeter helps in Chilean miner rescue.

Nonin Medical said its Onyx II 9560 wireless fingertip pulse oximeter was used to help rescue the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped in a Copiapo, Chile, mine. The device is being used by doctors on site to determine the miners' blood oxygenation and heart rate data in real time during and after each person's 20-minute, half-mile rescue-capsule ascent to the surface.
