Excel Medical’s WAVE Clinical Platform Receives FDA Clearance

Jupiter, Fla. — January 8, 2018 — Excel Medical launches the first FDA-cleared patient surveillance system. The WAVE Clinical Platform is the first of its kind cleared for marketing.

The WAVE Clinical Platform is an always-on remote monitoring platform that displays near real-time clinical views of physiologic and medically relevant data including waveforms and alarms for at-risk patients across hospital workstations, mobile devices and inside electronic medical records. WAVE automatically calculates risk, giving an at-a-glance early warning of patient deterioration up to six hours in advance of when clinicians would otherwise notice—and while there is still time to prevent further deterioration. In fact, while using the Visensia Safety Index, WAVE’s first FDA-cleared predictive algorithm, UPMC went from six unexpected deaths in their control group to zero.

“Everything we do as an organization aligns toward and supports the goal of eradicating unexpected deaths in hospitals,” says Lance Burton, General Manager of Excel Medical. “People may say zero unexpected deaths is unattainable. We say anything other than zero is unconscionable.”

For more than a decade, Excel Medical’s products have been battle-tested in over 80 percent of the top academic medical centers, as well as by researchers and innovation partners. Now, with the clearance of the WAVE Clinical Platform, the company sits on the edge of a major opportunity to fulfil the promise of predictive healthcare. “We look forward to bringing other revolutionary predictive algorithms to the WAVE platform soon, many of which are currently under development,” adds Burton.
