EECP® Therapy: Distinctly Different, Uniquely Vasomedical

EECP® therapy is offered exclusively by Vasomedical, the pioneer and world leader in the design and development of external counterpulsation systems. Vasomedical EECP® therapy systems are the ONLY external counterpulsation devices that have been proven effective in clinical studies published in leading cardiovascular peer-reviewed journals to provide benefits to patients suffering from angina and heart failure. With several hundred EECP® treatment centers around the world, the therapy has been clinically tested and used in many of the leading heart institutions.

The TS4 Offers the Latest in EECP® Treatment Technology and Patient Comfort

All operation is clearly displayed with integrated, touch-screen control of all therapy functions
Cuff area can significantly alter the delivery of pressure to the patient depending upon the patient’s size. Vasomedical EECP® therapy systems utilize five different cuff sizes to ensure proper fit for all patients.
The fully articulating LCD display arm enables optimum viewing adjustment
Vasomedical provides everything needed to expedite the implementation of EECP® therapy in a practice, from pants to cuffs and other required items for treatment, to materials that help educate and enroll patients.

Visual Status Indicators

Alarm (auditory and visual) Patient stop (PATIENT STOP), end of treatment (END OF TREATMENT), tank air temperature too high (OVER TEMPERATURE), tank pressure is too high (PRESSURE TOO HIGH) All visual indicators are text messages with red background; re-settable by touching alarm message Alarm tone turns off when reset by touching alarm message
Alert (visual only) Arrhythmia/artifact (ABNORMAL ECG), lead disconnection (NO ECG SIGNAL), heart rate too fast (HEART RATE HIGH), heart rate too slow (HEART RATE LOW), tank pressure below 80% of set point (PRESSURE LOW) and tank pressure above 120% of set point (PRESSURE HIGH) All indicators are text messages with yellow background
