> FDA has cleared a LifeWatch AG 510(k) for its continuous Vital Signs Monitoring Service, a wireless patch intended to allow for early detection of vital sign changes. Notifications on vital sign changes can enable faster interventions as well as increased nursing efficiency and higher patient satisfaction, according to the company.

> The device is a cable-free sensor worn on a patient’s upper chest. It is intended to be used on adult patients in a clinical environment for the continuous, non-invasive monitoring of ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, surface temperature, arterial blood oxygen saturation and body position. It will be available in two versions (with and without ECG) and it is connected through a wireless supporting system. “Although the system will initially be used in a medical facility (hospital, nursing home, etc.), the even larger ambulatory market should follow once the technology has been proven in the clinical environment,” the company says.
