Cardinal Health launches new medical device for the continuous monitoring of three essential vital signs in one system

"This innovative addition to the Kendall DL portfolio removes complexity for busy care teams, and at the same time, helps enhance clinical performance with multi-parameter monitoring," said Rachel Schott, global vice president for specialty products at
The Kendall DL™ Multi System offers a proprietary design that features clinically proven technology to reduce the incidence of false "leads off" alarms2 (i.e., indications that wires connected to the patient's body are not properly connected), as well as motion-related artifacts in electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings,† which are recorded disturbances due to a patient's movement. This yields cleaner ECG tracings and allows clinicians to more effectively prioritize the care they need to administer.
As a single-patient use product, the system helps reduce cross contamination related to reusable lead wires for the monitoring of cardiac activity, blood oxygen level and temperature.1 This helps lower the chance of infection and the need for additional hospital days or readmissions.3 The system is eligible for medical device reprocessing through
"By enabling more efficient workflows and driving clinical excellence, this new solution can potentially support the financial performance of healthcare providers," Schott said.
