Zoll aligns with Inovise for ECG technology

Zoll Medical, a manufacturer of resuscitation devices and related software solutions, has entered into a multi-year agreement to license Inovise Medical's Audicor technology.

The Audicor technology analyzes heart sounds to provide more diagnostic capabilities, in addition to the ECG alone, to aid in diagnosing acute and occasionally occult heart failure, according to the Chelmsford, Mass.-based company.

Inovise of Portland, Ore., includes ECG algorithms for improved MI detection and Audicor, which evaluates the performance of the heart by analyzing heart sounds and cardiac timing intervals.
