1998 - The first standard telemedicine blood pressure monitor was introduced into the market by A&D. The UA-767PC, an upper arm blood pressure monitor with bi-directional RS-232C with large memory was accepted in research and commercial applications on a global basis.The features and accuracy of this product became the benchmark for remote monitoring.
UA-767PC awarded US FDA 510(k) clearance.
2000 - Another breakthrough was made with a scale for weighing precise bodyweight with communication capability. The UC-321P, a 50g resolution with a maximum capacity of 150kg added another vital tool for recording patient’s weight from a remote setting.
These two product solutions have enabled health care providers gain access to critical health information at anytime – vital for effective chronic disease state management.
2003 – CE Mark received on (UA-767PC and UC-321)
2005 - A&D announces yet another breakthrough in telemedicine to broaden patient access and take convenience to the next level with the introduction of wireless communication.
Both the blood pressure monitor and weight scale have been equipped with a Bluetooth® wireless technology option for secured wireless communications.These qualified Bluetooth modules transmit data to an access point, PDA, or mobile phone according to your system configurations.
