ADI's MEMS motion detection technology to help achieve the CPR and rescue equipment

Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), high-performance signal processing solutions provider, recently announced the ZOLL Medical Corporation (Nasdaq GS: ZOLL) selection ADI's high performance iMEMS ® technology to build its Palm-CPR (cardiac resuscitation) device, used for the purposes of measuring the rescuers chest compression rate and depth.

PocketCPR ® devices use analog digital iMEMS accelerometer motion will PocketCPR converted to real-time measurement data in order to accurately read the CPR chest compression rate and depth. This will help to rescue personnel receive United States Heart Association (AHA) recommended chest press out on the strength and frequency. Watch the ADI/PocketCPR video.

PocketCPR through sound and Visual cues guiding rescue personnel to perform the recovery of cardiac arrest are the key steps, including inspection of rescue patients reaction, requests for assistance and perform CPR.

All steps are in line with the AHA's "life of the chain" requirements.

PocketCPR by ZOLL's wholly-owned subsidiary Bio-Detek, Inc. develop and manufacture, its CEO Mark Totman said: "in collaboration with ADI, we have been able to develop small, low-priced CPR and rescue equipment's vision a reality.

”

He added: "as an untrained or lack of confidence, many people are reluctant to perform CPR lifesaving programs.

In urgent cases, to ensure that people have PocketCPR confidence to perform CPR. ”

PocketCPR United States food and Drug Administration has been obtained (FDA) approved by the Board as a non-prescription rescue equipment sales, price is only $ 149.00.

It can be sent to the user tips to help them achieve the AHA and the International Federation of resuscitation (ILCOR) recommended 1.5 to 2 inches of pressing depth. If the press depth not 1.5 ", it indicates the rescuers" increase power ". If you press-fit, it will respond to the "press-good". A metronome will help users achieve correct massage rate.

ADI healthcare sector Vice President Patrick O ' Doherty said: "according to the United States after cardiac arrest Association statistics, the United States each year, more than 30 million people who suffer cardiac arrest.

According to the United States Heart Association estimates that after cardiac arrest occurs, patients are not restored to normal rhythm, each after one minute, survival rates will be reduced by 10%. PocketCPR ensures that rescuers purposes right CPR, can help save lives. At the same time, ADI's products and technology to achieve innovative design of healthcare and to promote the progress of medical equipment. ”

ZOLL Medical Corporation specializes in the development and marketing of medical devices and software solutions to help develop emergency care technology and save lives, while improving the efficiency of clinical and surgical.

ZOLL has a perfect product and technology, covering defibrillation and guardianship, circulation and CPR feedback and data management, resuscitation, and treatment of temperature management to help clinicians, EMS and fire officers and non-professional rescuers processing needs resuscitation and emergency care of patients.

PocketCPR rescue equipment uses ADI technology

PocketCPR ADXL322 using ADI's high-performance low-g iMEMS accelerometer, which provide a voltage output signal condition.

Use the accelerometer to the DC power supply 2.7V, typical power consumption is only 340mA, support for shutdown reboot to extend battery life. Typical noise floor less than 220 μ g/√ Hz, use narrow bandwidth (< 10 Hz, suitable for detection of human movement) can detect very small tilt changes. Depending on your application needs, you can flexibly select 0.5 Hz to 2.5 kHz wide bandwidth. ADI's digital iMEMS accelerometer series also includes ADXL345, ADXL327 and ADXL325 etc.

Assist healthcare customers achieve breakthrough

For medical imaging, patient care, medical instruments and consumer/family healthcare, ADI offers a rich and comprehensive linear, mixed-signal, MEMS and digital signal processing technology.

With the advanced design tools, application support and system backed by experience, ADI's products and technologies in health care design has a pivotal role, help for Diagnostics and monitoring equipment, as well as health and health instruments laid the Foundation for future development.
