Indiana-based Prevounce Health, a provider of remote care management software, devices and services, has launched its first blood oxygen device for remote patient monitoring (RPM).

The clinically validated, cellular-connected Pylo OX1-LTE offers advantages over other pulse oximeters for patients enrolled in RPM programmes for chronic respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, and other scenarios, including Covid-19 infections or patients undergoing treatments that require heart rate monitoring. OX1-LTE can roam on multiple cellular networks and delivers reliable connectivity and consistent, secure data transmission to patient care teams, even in areas with a weak signal.

Tested, 510(k) FDA cleared and FCC certified, OX1-LTE delivers blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) readings accurate to within two per cent and pulse rates accurate to within two beats per minute. It includes a bright, clear OLED screen and ergonomic design that makes it easier for patients to read and operate. OX1-LTE comes ready to use out of the box with no configuration required and was designed with materials that reduce the likelihood of damage and device failure.

OX1-LTE is available now for use with the Prevounce remote care management platform and seamlessly integrates with third-party health software via the Pylo cloud API.

“We’re excited to add OX1-LTE to the family of Pylo devices available for use in RPM programmes,” said Daniel Tashnek, CEO of Prevounce. “After years of utilising third-party oximeters, our team carefully designed the OX1-LTE to check every box we think providers and patients want and deserve out of a connected pulse oximeter. This translates to a best-in-class device that reliably provides actionable data to clinicians to empower their care. The OX1-LTE couldn’t be simpler for patients to use, which will boost RPM programme engagement and participation while reducing the clinician and technical support work required to scale remote monitoring programmes.”

Healthcare organisations can personalise OX1-LTE (www.prevounce.com/patient-devices-kits/pylo-connected-devices/remote-patient-monitoring-blood-oxygen-devices/pylo-ox1-lte-pulse-oximeter) to deliver a branded patient experience. Pylo devices and their packaging are customisable, allowing for the addition of logos, taglines, inserts and more. Prevounce also offers inventory and logistics services. Devices and kits can be shipped to organisations or patients anywhere in the USA within two business days. Return and refurbishment services help ensure organisations get the most out of their device investment. There is ongoing, hands-on support from the Prevounce team.
