Executive Summary
Medwave has gained market go-ahead in Japan for its Vasotrac APM205A blood pressure monitoring system. The handheld device is designed for measuring a patient's blood pressure noninvasively on a continual basis, with updates available approximately every 15 heartbeats, says the St Paul, Minnesota. It will be distributed by Nihon Kohden, which may also incorporate a Vasotrac module into its own products in the future under an agreement with Medwave.
