Compact CP 50™ ECG Offers Simplicity, Speed, and Flexible Connectivity Options

Welch Allyn , a leading global provider of frontline medical products and solutions, will preview its first electrocardiograph ( ECG ) with Vietnamese language capability at the 12th Annual Vietnam National Congress of Cardiology October 18–20 in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa. Scheduled for release in mid-November, the company’s lightweight CP 50™ ECG with ECG interpretive software for Vietnamese-speaking clinicians is easy to use and designed for settings where simplicity, flexibility and efficiency are of utmost importance. It has an intuitive design and functionality and offers the speed and power of a fully-featured ECG in a compact, portable size. In addition to administering patient tests at the push of a button, the CP 50 can interface with the Welch Allyn CardioPerfect™ Workstation Software to connect patient data to an electronic health record ( EHR ), health information system ( HIS ), over the Internet, or through e-mail.

“Our goal is to provide clinics in Vietnam with a simple yet powerful ECG solution that uses the language spoken by in-country physicians,” said Peter Glocker, international category director, Cardiopulmonary, at Welch Allyn. “Every day there are challenges within busy ambulatory care facilities, but these should not include language barriers between devices and caregivers.”

In addition to its new Vietnamese language feature, the CP 50 has a touchscreen display that facilitates one-button operation—guiding caregivers through each test quickly and easily. It provides on-screen instructions that save time and ensure accurate data capture by highlighting poor signals and connections.

The CP 50, now available with ECG interpretation across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America, also comes equipped with an integrated high-resolution thermal printer that generates ECG reports in customizable formats. The optional MEANS ECG interpretation program provides a second silent opinion. Finally, with the connection to the Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Workstation, users have access to a full range of paperless ECG data management solutions and flexible connectivity options such as EHR / HIS systems, telemedicine and Web access.

“Healthcare providers are trying to do more with less, so easy-to-use devices that can administer tests, interface with other systems and reduce documentation time are in huge demand,” Glocker added. “This flexible electrocardiograph offers the best of both worlds—simple, accurate testing and intuitive data management capabilities. By making ECG interpretive software with Vietnamese language capabilities available on the device, we will help clinicians in the region manage patient data more effectively and improve patient care in the process.”
