2020 is a memorable year and not just because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also marks the 30th year in business of one of our key partners, Meditech.
Established in Hungary in 1990 Meditech have established a reputation for quality, accuracy and reliability in the design and manufacture of professional cardiovascular medical devices. From small beginnings their Distributor reseller network now covers 5 continents and I am proud to say PMS have been their exclusive UK and Ireland Distributor and Service Partner for over 20 years.
We sold our first Meditech product the Elite PC based ECG back in 1997. The E-Lite was one of the world’s first “plug and play” cost effective 12-lead resting ECG systems. It was popular with GP surgeries and pioneered the use of computers in the recording of ECG’s helping to start the trend for paperless ECG’s.
Next up was the ABPM-04 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor introduced in 2003. This product really put Meditech on the map. Clinically validated to the demanding British Hypertension Society accuracy protocol it launched with the first generation CardioVisions analysis software fully compatible with Windows XP.
With thousands of ABPM-04’s sold worldwide it has become a classic ABPM renowned for its reliability that is still available to this day.
Several of the original monitors we sold over 17 years ago are still in regular use!
Other product milestones include
2000 Merlin ECG Event watch
2000 CardioTens combined ABPM and ECG Event monitor
2003 CardioClip 7 day looping ECG recorder
2004 CardXplore combined ABPM and Holter ECG recorder
2007 ABPM-05
2007 CardioMera 24 Hour Holter ECG
2017 CardiUP3!/12! Second generation Holter ECG
2019 ABPM-06
The latest ABPM-06 is the result of 30 years of product design, engineering precision and of course customer feedback that sets Meditech apart from competitors.
On behalf of everyone at PMS I would like to offer congratulations to the team at Meditech for the achievements and innovations over the last 30 years. We are looking forward to many more.
