Oulu, Finland, August 23, 2018 – Bittium exhibits its innovative products and solutions for cardiology at ESC Congress 2018 on August 25-29 in Munich, Germany. ESC Congress is the world's largest conference in cardiovascular medicine organized by the European Society of Cardiology. At the event Bittium launches the new waterproof Bittium Faros™ ECG device and Bittium FastFix™ patch electrode for ECG measurement. At the event Bittium will also showcase Bittium Cardiac Navigator™ software meant for accurate analyzing of long-term Holter ECG recordings, Bittium Cardiac Explorer™ software for analyzing Cardiac event based ECG recording and Bittium Cardiac Rehabilitation System™ a real-time solution for cardiac rehabilitation monitoring.

The new waterproof Bittium Faros 180 and Bittium Faros 360 ECG devices together with the Bittium FastFix patch electrodes make the patient’s life easier during long-term (3-30 days) ECG recordings. Bittium Faros ECG device together with the Bittium FastFix patch electrode is meant for wireless ECG measurement. The chest-attachable patch electrode can be used for 3 to 7 days at a time, after which measurement can be continued by replacing the patch electrode with a new one. ECG recordings with the waterproof Bittium Faros ECG devices and Bittium FastFix patch electrodes enable the monitored person to be active, do sports and shower without having to remove the device and thus stop the recording.

“We are proud to introduce the new waterproof Bittium Faros ECG devices and FastFix patch electrodes. In addition to being waterproof, the battery life of the device has been improved, allowing up to 8 days of continuous recording, functions that really ease the patient’s life. We have also speeded up the transfer of data from the Bittium Faros ECG devices to analysis tools, as well as brought them RFID readiness. Our ECG monitoring devices are the top products in the world”, says Arto Pietilä, Senior Vice President, Bittium Medical Technologies.
Products and solutions exhibited at the event are:

Bittium Faros is a versatile waterproof ECG device that is used for early detection of cardiac abnormalities in everyday life. Bittium Faros is ultra-small and lightweight, which enables precise long-term full disclosure ECG measurements for long-term Holtering, cardiac event monitoring, mobile cardiac telemetry and assessing autonomic nervous system functions.
Bittium Faros outpatient monitoring solutions include several software options for cardiac monitoring. The built-in arrhythmia detection algorithms of the Bittium Faros device are used for event recording and mobile event monitoring. Bittium’s solutions enable earlier repatriation of patients and even better ability to react to potentially emerging arrhythmias faster.
