Cardinal Health has launched its multi-parameter, single-patient use vital signs monitoring cable and lead wire system, the Kendall DL Multi System, in the United States. The system enables continuous monitoring of cardiac activity, blood oxygen level, and temperature through one point of connection.
Designed to travel with the patient from admission to discharge, the system is intended to support patient transport, improve clinician workflows, and provide consistent monitoring to help guide care decisions.
“The addition to the Kendall DL portfolio removes complexity for care teams and supports clinical performance with multi-parameter monitoring,” says Rachel Schott, global vice president for specialty products at Cardinal Health, in a release. “The product streamlines steps clinicians must follow and controls lead wire clutter with its built-in cable management system.”
The Kendall DL Multi System includes clinically proven technology designed to reduce the incidence of false “leads off” alarms—indications that wires are not properly connected to the patient—as well as motion-related artifacts in electrocardiogram tracings. According to Cardinal Health, this can result in cleaner tracings and assist clinicians in prioritizing care.
As a single-patient use product, the system may help reduce cross-contamination risks associated with reusable lead wires. Cardinal Health notes this can lower the risk of infection and the potential for extended hospital stays or readmissions. The system is eligible for medical device reprocessing through the company.
“By enabling more efficient workflows and supporting clinical performance, this solution can potentially benefit the financial performance of healthcare providers,” Schott says in a release. “Expanding our Kendall DL offerings reflects our commitment to addressing clinical and operational challenges across healthcare settings.”
The Kendall DL Multi System is now available to health systems in the US.
