Centers for Dialysis Care Signs Deal to Offer Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Monitoring to Patients in Northeast Ohio

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH--(Marketwired - Oct 22, 2015) - Centers for Dialysis Care (CDC), Northeast Ohio's largest dialysis provider, is the first dialysis group to implement next-generation non-invasive cardiovascular monitoring in the state of Ohio. The multi-year contract with InteloMed, Inc., allows for the deployment of the CVInsight™ Platform to multiple CDC facilities system-wide over the next two years to better serve patients. 

The CVInsight™ Platform is an easy-to-use system that provides clinicians with non-invasive, real-time, dynamic and actionable information about a patient's cardiovascular stability. A non-invasive sensor is worn by the dialysis patient in order to monitor the patient's tolerance to the treatment. The system alerts and provides indications to clinical staff members, allowing them to intervene and make adjustments during therapy.

"CVInsight™ has proven itself to be a valuable new tool for assessing patient stability during dialysis. The additional information provided about patient tolerance to treatment has allowed CDC to be more confident in treating patients and achieve our fluid removal goals," said Peter DeOreo, MD and Chief Medical Officer for Centers for Dialysis Care.

The rate of fluid removal during dialysis treatment can be one of the leading causes of intradialytic hypotensive events. Intradialytic hypotensive events are a frequent complication during dialysis and are associated with negative patient outcomes.

"CDC is committed to achieving the very best outcomes for patients. By embracing this tool and coupling it with standard protocols which are delivered by our empowered and effective clinical team, CVInsight™ is helping us to achieve our goals to continually improve clinical outcomes," stated Diane Wish, President and CEO for Centers for Dialysis Care. 

Jill Schiaparelli, President and CEO of InteloMed commented, "InteloMed is honored to collaborate with Centers for Dialysis Care, a leading provider with a strong focus on patient-centered care. CDC's adoption of the CVInsight™ Platform for assessing patient response to dialysis treatment confirms the need for non-invasive continuous monitoring alternatives."
