The American Pacemaker Pace Medical Inc. Ralph E. Hanson Diane Reynolds CEOCFOinterviews.com Company Profile:Temporary cardiac
pacemakers have three principal uses: therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic. The
most common therapeutic. For example, when a patient is admitted to a hospital with
an inadequate or grossly irregular heart rhythm, a pacemaker stabilizes the rhythm and
improves the rate. Prophylactic use describes the application of a pacemaker to a
patient as a precaution since their condition is unstable. This too, is common.
Finally, pacemakers, particularly those which are more sophisticated, serve as a
vital purpose as a diagnostic tool; assisting a physician in making a diagnosis or simply
evaluating a specific condition of a patient. In the United Kingdom, APC Medical Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pace Medical, Inc., is the market leader for temporary cardiac pacemakers where we set the industry standard and supply the majority of the units sold. The Company manufactures two types of single-chamber, VVI, demand temporary pacemakers. These include battery operated bedside models which attach to a patient’s bedrail and miniature models which enable patients to be ambulatory during treatment. Both types have over a decade of reliability and proven performance. The MICRO-PACE, dual chamber, temporary cardiac pacemaker in its most sophisticated mode, DDD, is designed to sense and pace in both the atria and the ventricle thereby, restoring A-V synchrony and improving cardiac output. The growing reliance on dual-chamber pacing devices under the physician’s recognition of the importance of A-V synchrony in those cardiac patients for who increased cardiac output is needed. The Model 4800 dual chamber, pacing analyzer combines the benefits of dual chamber, multi mode, multi parameter pacing with features that evaluate, display, store, and print out the important characteristics of the patient’s lead system. Model 4570 MICRO-PACE™ (Featured above!) The Model 4570 MICRO-PACE is a programmable, dual-chamber temporary cardiac pacemaker capable of multi-mode, multi-parameter operation. In its most sophisticated mode, DDD, the MICRO PACE will sense and pace in both the atria and ventricles, restoring A-V synchrony and improving cardiac output. An increased maximum atrial sensitivity enhances the user’s ability to achieve consistent sensing/tracking in the presence of borderline atrial signals. The additional ability of the Model 4570 to pace and track at high rates in the DDD mode allows cardiologist and surgeons to address the needs of post-operative, open-heart patients, regardless of age. In spite of its many advanced technical features, MICRO-PACE is exceptionally “user friendly”. Company Profile:: -
