Description
Designed in Australia, the SphygmoCor XCEL revolutionises non-invasive measurements of central (aortic) blood pressure and arterial stiffness by offering a beautifully designed, accurate, easy to use and small footprint cuff-based system to the market.
SphygmoCor XCEL sets a new standard for measuring central blood pressure: easy to use cuff-based device, most accurate cuff-based device in the market, user-friendly graphical user interface, single mouse click operations. These innovative features means faster measurment time, less user training, fewer clicks.
Clinical results indicates that SphygmoCor XCEL is very accurate compared to the gold-standard device in the market, with significant benefits in usability.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
Clinical trial results shows 99% correlation of central systolic and pulse pressures between XCEL and the existing gold standard (non cuff-based) device in the market. XCEL is so revoluationary that its clinical trial results have been accepted for presentation in the prestigous "European Society of Hypertension" conference in London at April 2012.
Central blood pressure (BP) has traditionally been measured using a tonometer-based device. The ability to measure central BP via a brachial cuff involves the development of a smart signal processing algorithm which transforms brachial signals into central BP waveforms.
With SphygmoCor XCEL, taking central BP measurements is as simple as taking brachial BP measurements.
The non-cluttered LED status at the front of the device asserts confidence that the device is operational. The mirror finish of the enclosure conveys a sense of modern technology, while the white colour communicates its medical heritage. The shiny metallic heart at the centre, highlights the primary function of this device, which is central blood pressure measurements.
GP's desk space is premium and therefore a small foot print was a key consideration in the design of the unit and thus drove the upright form factor.
The cuff connector at the front enables easy access to the cuff. The cuff can be repositioned easily through the 360 degree swivel cuff hose connector.
The XCEL device can be secured to a cuff storage tray via two finger screws that are hidden in the tray but within easy access to the user.
An integrated tonometer holder in the device, and the left/right holder in the tray facilitates temporary or semi-permanent parking of the tonometer by left or right-handed users.
A left-to-right layout of the screen enables intuitive clinical workflow, while subtle colour interchange provides visual clues that the software has entered into a different mode (edit versus browse mode).
A consistent GUI colour and layout design helps users to focus on important central blood pressure results, while essential patient information is always accessible to the user.
