It's amazing how far we've come in improving the process of obtaining a 12-lead ECG for babies. In the past, the lack of ECG machines specifically designed for pediatric use presented many challenges. The electrodes were often too large, requiring tedious cutting to fit them onto the small chests of babies. The wires and cables, along with lots of manipulations, led to distressed responses with kicking and crying. As a result, the ECG recordings were often full of noises and artifacts. PCA 500 represents a significant advancement in pediatric ECG technology. Its compact and lightweight design, coupled with the use of a single pre-positioned sensor, streamlines the testing process, making it more efficient and accurate. One of the most exciting aspects of PCA 500 is to empower parents to take charge of their baby's health by offering the capability to perform standard 12-lead ECG tests. The launch of the Pediatric Xpress ECG service enables families to conduct important screenings for heart disease conveniently from the comfort of their homes. Pediatric Xpress ECG not only reduces the burden on healthcare facilities but also empowers parents to monitor their child's health proactively. More information at: www.xpressecg.com.

We are exhibiting at the 2024 Ambulatory Surgical Center Association conference in Orlando, FL, April 17-20. It is exciting to show PCA 500 is the perfect 12-lead ECG solution for ASCs and how it can streamline the workflow and pre-op clearance in ASCs. https://lnkd.in/gxDa6ZTw #asca #asca2024 #ecg #ekg #qtmedical #pca500

We just returned from ACC24 in Atlanta. It was wonderful to meet our partners and clients, learn abou the newest and greatest products and technologies, and get updated on the latest development in cardiology. We are now heading to Las Vegas to attend the Urgent Care Convention on April 13-17, 2024. We hope to see you at Booth #645. #urgentcare #urgentcareassociation #ecg #ekg #pca500 #qtmedical

Day 2 at the American College of Cardiology Annual Conference in Atlanta. Visit Booth #2007 to take the challenge of completing a 12-lead ECG in 2 minutes! #acc24 #ecg #ekg

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), occurring in 1 in 2,000 live births, is a genetic disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG. It is mostly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and can manifest with syncope, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death. Studies have found that 10-15% of infants dying of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) carry known pathogenic mutations for LQTS. It is estimated that 300-400 infants may die of undiagnosed LQTS in the first few months of life in the U.S. each year and be labeled as SIDS deaths. If the diagnosis of LQTS is made early, treatment by beta-blockers and/or placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is effective in preventing sudden death. The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ECG screening of infants for LQTS have been demonstrated by studied in Italy. In the US, there have been debates for universal LQTS screening by ECG among pediatric cardiology professionals. While the pros and cons of ECG screening of all infants for LQTS for sudden death or SIDS prevention were well presented, gaps in technology and device designed specifically for this purpose were apparently the missing pieces of this debate. With the initial funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I led a team of engineers and clinical investigators to develop a 12-lead ECG system that parents can perform the test on their babies at home, and the results can be interpreted by cardiology experts immediately. QT Medical was founded to develop the product (PCA 500) and make it widely available and accessible. In a randomized controlled clinical trial of 2,582 infants, we found that over 94% of parents were able to use PCA 500 and complete a medical standard 12-lead ECG by themselves with no training. Since its FDA clearance for use in adults in 2018, PCA 500 has been used by airlines, schools and in clinical trials. There are numerous stories about how PCA 500 has impacted or saved someone’s life, such as a passenger with chest pain on a long-haul flight was found to have a heart attack, or a student athlete had his/her heart condition diagnosed and treated in time because of ECG screening with PCA 500. While all of us at QT Medical are very proud of the work we do, nothing gets us more excited than coming back to our original mission to enable at-home screening for LQTS in infants and prevent sudden infant death. With the FDA clearance of PCA 500 for pediatric use, we can now focus on why we started the journey 10 years ago—providing ECG screening of infants for LQTS by parents at home. We are now launching the Pediatric Xpress ECG service in the US— a mail delivery at home 12-lead ECG test for infants.
