It will free up essential resources and reduce the exposure of medical and nursing home staff to the virus, the company noted.
Moreover, the device can be cleaned for unlimited re-use within its estimated three-year life cycle.
The BLR-100C system uses a SIM card, cloud-based system with HIPAA secure AWS protocols to transmit the patient’s Covid-19-related data to Belun Remote Monitoring Station. Clinicians will be able to view the data using a web-enabled computer, tablet or cell phone.
The system includes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared Belun Ring that measures SpO₂ and pulse rate of the patients, while a disposable probe monitors body temperature.
