For the fourth consecutive year, CleveMed recently received a Leading Edge Award from Entrepreneurs EDGE, which recognizes the Northeast Ohio Mid-Market Companies that create great value for themselves and for their community.

To qualify for the Leading Edge Award the companies had to have sales revenue up to $750 million and must currently sell some of their goods or services outside the region, or have plans to do so. Factors that were also taken into consideration were: the company’s self-reported EBIT and total taxable compensation for all employees working in Northeast Ohio. EDGE looks at the absolute figure as well as the growth rate of this figure over the past three years.

CleveMed was recognized for the accomplishment at an awards dinner held on May 19th at the InterContinental Hotel in Cleveland.

CleveMed specializes in the manufacture of wireless, subject-worn physiological monitoring equipment. Within the Division of Research and Education systems, a number of wireless data acquisition devices are offered for a variety of applications.

BioCapture is a research system that uses the BioRadio, a wireless data acquisition device for physiological monitoring. The BioRadio can measure any combination of signals such as ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG, respiration, SpO2 and more. Data is telemetered to a receiver connected to a nearby PC. The information is displayed through the software and data can be exported for analysis in third party applications, such as LabView, Matlab or Excel. The BioCapture system is suitable for a number biomedical research applications.

CleveLabs is a laboratory course system that uses the same data acquisition device as BioCapture, the BioRadio. The software is different, in that it is tailored toward students as a laboratory teaching system focusing on engineering, physiology and clinical applications. Biomedical engineering, physiology, electrical & computer engineering and other departments can benefit from this technology. The system is very flexible and can be used in biomedical engineering labs and classrooms, biomedical research applications, physiology labs and research, and more.

KinetiSense is a wireless data acquisition system that measures three dimensional motion using accelerometers and gyroscopes. Linear acceleration and angular velocity are measured from different portions of the body and data is transmitted to a received connected to a nearby PC. The software displays and stores the data and some analysis features are included. An export utility is also included for easy export for custom analysis applications using programs such as LabView, Matlab or Excel.

CleveMed is pleased to announce a new partnership with Emona Instruments as the Australian and New Zealand distributor of the CleveLabs laboratory course system.

Emona Instruments was established in 1979 as an importer and distributor of electronic test equipment. Their current product catalog includes electronic and electrical test and measuring instruments and engineering teaching equipment which makes them the ideal distributor for our biomedical engineering teaching equipment. Emona Instruments is established as one of Australia’s leading instrumentation and teaching equipment suppliers to industry, education, defense and government customers.

With the growth of biomedical engineering and biomedical engineering subjects in electrical and mechanical engineering, there is a real need for biomedical teaching and research equipment that meets the specific needs of engineering teaching departments.

CleveLabs is a laboratory course system that uses wireless state of the art physiological monitoring equipment with interactive software to teach engineering, physiology and clinical applications. Expanding the market to Australia and New Zealand opens up many new avenues for CleveMed and Emona Instruments.

CleveMed is a medical device company that specializes in developing and manufacturing miniaturized wireless monitoring devices for the clinical, research and educational fields. Every device that is developed, whether it’s for sleep disorder monitoring, movement disorder monitoring, physiological research or biomedical engineering education, is wireless and handheld or patient worn. So, why the emphasis on wireless technology?

Wireless devices are emerging as a stronghold in the medical device and research fields because of the many advantages the technology offers. Wireless equipment gives the patient or subject being monitored the ability to move freely and naturally. Using a wireless device while monitoring a patient for a sleep disorder provides the ability to get up during the study and move around without the need to be disconnected. Wireless physiological monitoring equipment increases the environments in which a subject can be monitored, such as running on a treadmill or riding a bike.

In addition to increased applications, wireless equipment increases patient and subject safety. The need to be connected to a computer or large cart mounted system is eliminated when using a wireless device. Large obtrusive wires are not necessary and not a concern to the user, letting them move naturally without the worry of pulling on wires that are connected to computers or large cart mounted systems. Wireless also means that the user does not need to be connected to any power outlets, as all CleveMed devices are powered by batteries.

Many organizations are taking advantage of the increased flexibility and reduced costs that wireless devices offer. Using wireless systems can help turn any room into a sleep lab, motion analysis center or physiological monitoring research room because there is no need for complicated wiring or extensive setup.
