SEATTLE, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Bardy Diagnostics, Inc., (“BardyDx”), a leading provider of ambulatory cardiac monitoring technologies and custom data solutions, announced today the commercial launch of the 14-Day version of the Carnation Ambulatory Monitor (“CAM™”), the industry’s only P-wave centric™ ambulatory cardiac patch monitor and arrhythmia detection device, following recent clearance by the FDA.
“The 14-Day CAM is the culmination of years of development focused on uncovering the full complexity and meaning of a patient’s cardiac rhythm,” said Gust H. Bardy, MD, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BardyDx. “We are proud to develop and introduce the most advanced and accurate cardiac monitoring technologies that enable new opportunities to reimagine and redefine patient care.”
The significance of the CAM Patch’s P-wave centric clinical value was highlighted in the American Heart Journal that published the results of a head-to-head comparison with the iRhythm Zio® XT patch, concluding that the BardyDx CAM Patch identified 40% more arrhythmias and resulted in better, more informed clinical decision-making in 41% of patients over the iRhythm Zio XT patch. In addition, a preceding study also published in the American Heart Journal comparing the CAM Patch and a traditional Holter monitor, showed a four times increase in arrhythmia detection using the CAM Patch, including arrhythmias missed or incorrectly identified using the Holter monitor, concluding that the CAM Patch offered significantly improved rhythm diagnostics.
