August 2009
Furthering its legacy as a pioneer and innovator in telemedicine devices, A&D Medical announced the release of the first Continua Certified™ blood pressure monitor and the first certified personal weight scale. The certification of these two Bluetooth® wireless technology products significantly increases the number of market-ready, interoperable devices available in the Continua Health Alliance ecosystem.
The A&D Medical UA-767PBT-C automatic blood pressure monitor with Bluetooth wireless technology and the UC-321PBT-C precision personal weight scale with Bluetooth wireless technology were certified as conforming to the Continua Version One Design Guidelines, incorporating the Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP) and the ISO/IEEE 11073 data protocols. Compliance to these guidelines allows for interoperability between all Continua Certified™ devices and enables manufacturers to create health information systems easily and efficiently.
"We have already been selected as partners in several existing European TeleHealth programs and our Company is now proud to offer products with Continua Health Alliance certification," said Mr Takeo Goto, Managing Director of A&D Medical in the UK.
The UA-767PBT series of devices is clinically validated for accuracy according to British Hypertension Society protocol and meets ANSI/AAMI SP10 standards. Both the UA-767PBT-C and UC-321PBT-C Continua Certified™ and Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices will be available for purchase this autumn.
