AMD Telemedicine Develops Deployable Telemedicine Kit

AMD Telemedicine, the world leader in developing, marketing and providing training for telemedicine equipment, today announce that it has created a Deployable Telemedicine Kit and is working to identify disaster organizations, first-responder teams and medical facilities around the world that would be able to deploy and/or utilize this type of medical equipment in the event of a disaster.

With the kits, healthcare providers in the field would have the ability to send photo images of inner ear/nose/throat, trauma to extremities, soft tissue injuries, captured ultrasound images, digital 12-lead electrocardiograms, digital lung capacity reports, and heart or lung sounds. The specialist in the field would then send the information to a medical specialist via satellite, Internet, or Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN), providing an evaluation and/or consultation for these remote victims using live videoconferencing or store and forward applications.

"Our new deployable kit will speed the execution and management of trauma services and clinical emergency care for those who need it most," said Steve Normandin, AMD President. "The availability and use of telemedicine at the disaster site will also foster medical expertise capability for emergency response personnel. We've received excellent response to our kits from clinicians and patients, alike, and are eager to share it with additional emergency medical providers and homeland security personnel around the country."

The new transportable, telemedicine kit includes:

- AMD-2500s General Examination Camera (http://www.amdtelemedicine.com/products_detail.cfmProduct_ID=AMD-3550&Specialty_ID=CAR500), permitting the recording, analysis and transmission of high quality lung and heart sounds

Fully compliant with the strict requirements of the American Thoracic Society (ATS)

- AMD-2020 Direct Opthalmoscope (http://www.amdtelemedicine.com/products_detail.cfmProduct_ID=AMD-5500&Specialty_ID=ULT500) , the system on a chip provides true 128 channel resolution in a laptop PC, with all the functionality of the most expensive ultrasound systems.

- AMD-3875 12 Lead Interpretive ECG for PC, when connected to the serial port of a PC, converts any Windows 98/NT platform into a real time 12 Lead ECG machine with Interpretation.

"In order to make the best use of the kits, we are working with emergency disaster specialists and physicians, " said Diane Castelli, RN, MS, MSN, AMD Director of Clinical Training. "This coincides with disaster efforts from both United States and international telemedicine, telehealth organizations to provide medical support to disaster victims worldwide."
