CardioDynamics gains 510(k) clearance for ICG enhancements:

The US FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for technological enhancements of CardioDynamics' impedance cardiography (ICG) system. The device is now cleared to measure total arterial compliance, a measure of peripheral artery elasticity and an early marker of peripheral artery and cardiovascular disease. It can also measure Q-C time interval, used to assess cardiac contractility. The San Diego, California-based company believes that measurement of these parameters may allow earlier and more cost-effective evaluation of heart failure. The FDA also granted clearance for an electronic medical record (EMR) capability for CardioDynamics' BioZ Dx system.
