After tailing off for much of 2012, shares of Cardiocomm (TSXV:EKG) have perked up of late. The company’s stock hit a recent high of $.39 cents last Tuesday after announcing it had submitted an application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clearance of an electrocardiogram viewer technology called GUAVA II.
GUAVA is a medical software device with a formal application programming interface that can be used to capture, store and analyze electrocardiograms. Management says the device, which may be licensed to other software developers, will streamline workflow and reduce staffing costs for high-volume ECG call centres
“We believe GUAVA will continue to be one of the most sought-after ECG viewers in our market. Given its ease of use, efficient editing tools and customizable features, and with the enhancements scheduled with an FDA clearance, GUAVA II will continue to be the favoured solution in the industry,” said Mona Palfreyman, director of quality assurance and customer support for the company.
