American Messaging remains dedicated to providing communications for first responders, helping you empower your workforce and increase response time with UrgentAlert.

Interoperability Between Product Lines
General Devices will enhance its Rosetta communications interfaces and CAREpoint EMS Workstation by making them interoperable with the Philips HeartStart MRx monitor/defibrillator. Interoperability between these systems will enable paramedics to send 12-lead ECGs and other physiologic information from the HeartStart MRx over analog and digital radios, as well as cell phones, directly to General Devices' Rosetta Rx Receiving Station or CAREpoint EMS Workstation. A 12-lead ECG can be sent in about one minute over a standard two-way radio. Once received by the CAREpoint EMS Workstation, ECGs and other data are presented on a large display, automatically archived into the call log, and available for printout or subsequent forwarding to a cath lab, cardiology center or physician's office.
