Florida Hospital Cardiovascular Institute Completes House-Wide Implementation of the LifeSync(R) Wireless ECG System
Date:6/2/2009

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeSync Corporation, the innovator of the LifeSync(R) Wireless ECG System, today announced that Florida Hospital in Orlando has completed a house-wide implementation of the LifeSync(R) System throughout its Cardiovascular Institute for patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Florida Hospital Orlando, the largest of seven hospitals in the Florida Hospital System, houses the Florida Hospital Cardiovascular Institute, ranked number three in the nation for number of open heart surgeries. Twenty-five thousand patients are admitted into the Institute where 11,000 cardiac procedures and 2,000 open heart surgeries are performed annually. Since 1981, the Institute has performed more than 82,000 heart surgeries.

As part of its evaluation of the system, Florida Hospital completed an IRB- approved study to determine how the LifeSync(R) System would impact the incidences of interruptions to cardiac monitoring to improve patient safety and increase nurse productivity. The result of the study showed a significant reduction in lead-off alarms and a decrease in unscheduled nursing time spent handling dislodged ECG wires. The study also found that while using the LifeSync(R) System, daily patient time-off monitor decreased. Based on the results of the study, Florida Hospital signed a three year agreement with LifeSync and has installed the LifeSync(R) System throughout its Cardiovascular Institute.

"The Florida Hospital Cardiovascular Institute, Orlando campus, continues to lead the way in patient safety by recently implementing the LifeSync(R) System for patients undergoing open heart surgery. In addition to reducing lead-off alarms, the LifeSync(R) System encourages early ambulation by untethering the patient from the monitors, allowing patients freedom of movement in the critical care environment," said Jean Turcotte RN MA CCRN CFC, Administrative Manager CVICU. Additionally, the study trac
