ProSolv Releases New Cardiovascular Software.

Builds on Web based platform to provide additional modality integrations

INDIANAPOLIS, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- ProSolv CardioVascular, a FUJIFILM company, is pleased to announce the worldwide release of its newest software version Synapse(TM) ProSolv(R) cardiovascular 4.0.1. Key features of this release include integrated ECG management capability and integration with the Siemens Sensis Hemodynamic system. Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular 4.0.1 will be one of several new products highlighted at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting.

The company's previous software release, version 4.0, enhanced the product to be a Web-based application using Web communication protocols and a Web URL single-click application download and installation for easier deployment across the enterprise. Now Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular 4.0.1 takes that Web foundation, along with its vendor- and hardware-neutral attributes, and provides additional third party integrations that will greatly increase efficiencies in the diagnostic process for cardiologists and the cardiovascular staff.

ECG Management Module: Facilities can now manage and coordinate every ECG from any department, including the ED. Anywhere there is internet access, with a single sign-on physicians can review, edit, confirm and print resting ECG and Holter Monitor data. By significantly speeding exam retrieval time -- in some cases up to 50 percent -- the quality and delivery of care is enhanced. The ECG Management Module is powered by Epiphany Cardiography.

Siemens Sensis: Data from the Siemens Sensis Hemodynamic system can now be imported directly into the Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular database as well as into the cardiac catheterization report template. This direct import of data saves time and reduces the potential of error by eliminating the need for manual data entry. In addition, integration with Siemens Sensis allows healthcare providers to capture information required for the ACC-NCDR(R) data registries for outcomes reporting. And when used with Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular's ACC-NCDR CathPCI Registry Module, the need to manually search for required submission data is eliminated, so valuable staff time can be focused on patient care.

"The release of Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular 4.0.1 is another significant step as we move towards a unified platform for the management of all cardiovascular information and images, regardless of modality or vendor," said ProSolv CardioVascular President and CEO Aaron Waitz. "Healthcare providers need this single point of access and unified view of the complete patient history. By building on the world class, Web based technology of Fujifilm's Synapse(R) PACS, we will continue to include greater diagnostic functionality and enhance the efficiency and decision making capabilities of healthcare providers."

This unified platform follows suit with parent company Fujifilm Medical Systems USA, who this past fall announced the deployment of a completely integrated solution for PACS, RIS, cardiovascular imaging and women's imaging. The company became the first major vendor to deliver seamless, Web-based access to all radiology, mammography and cardiovascular images and information, as well as to all RIS data and reports, from one workstation, with a single sign-on and familiar user interface. Together Synapse(TM) radiology, Synapse(TM) ProSolv cardiovascular, Synapse(TM) information systems and Synapse(TM) women's imaging build on the success of the industry's first true Web-based PACS, providing a complete imaging and informatics platform to support the needs of enterprise imaging.

Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular 4.0.1 is available to both new and existing customers, and will be highlighted at the upcoming American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting, March 29 - 31 in Orlando, FL. Also highlighted at ACC will be Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular 4.0.2, and some works-in-progress slated for release in 2009.
