Portland, OR - CapsuleTech recently announced new additions to the growing list of bedside medical devices supported by DataCaptor Connectivity Suite, one of the leading independent medical device connectivity solution used by hundreds of healthcare institutions worldwide.

Healthcare organizations that have deployed DataCaptor Connectivity Suite in their department or enterprise can integrate patient vital signs and other data from virtually any medical devices, including patient monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps and anesthesia delivery, with any IT systems.

"Capsule offers the largest library of device interfaces available on the market today, supporting over 330 different medical devices.

Among the newest devices supported is the Danmeter Cerebral State Monitor (CSM), which sets a new standard for spontaneous EEG monitoring of the level of consciousness (LOC) or depth of anesthesia during anesthetic procedures at the point-of-care.

"We are pleased to see our newest EEG neurologic monitor added to Capsule's driver library. The Danmeter CSM monitor is the only handheld and battery-powered solution for LOC monitoring that sets new standards for size, price and ease of use. It is designed to operate as a fully contained, stand-alone EEG monitor that can wirelessly integrate with CIS, HIS and other bedside patient monitors. DataCaptor Connectivity Suite support allows Danmeter to further address the needs of the healthcare market for enhanced clinical productivity and patient safety by automating the integration of patient vital signs from our monitor to any IT system," says Kim Gommesen, Managing Director for Danmeter A/S.
