New Products Get the Nod at Medtrade Spring

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The New Product Pavilion at Medtrade Spring, held
in Las Vegas last month, offered attendees a peek at the latest
innovation in home medical equipment. Based on attendee votes,
winners of the New Product Pavilion awards were Infopia, Titusville, Fla.;
VirtuOX,
Coral Springs, Fla.; and ATMOS Inc., Allentown, Pa.

The Innovation Award is given in honor of the product that best
demonstrates top design and advanced technology. Infopia’s Ecocene System is a
comprehensive disease management system specializing in the
monitoring of patients with diabetes. The system’s Virtual Tracker
collects data from devices such as glucometers, blood pressure
cuffs and scales and displays it in ways that enable patients and
their health care providers to better manage the patient’s
disease.

VirtuOx was the winner of the Providers Choice Award, given to
the company whose product offers the best use of technology. The
VirtuOx
VPOD-Wrist HD is part of the VPOD line, which includes handheld
and wrist-worn oximeters that can store up to 72 hours of recorded
memory.

The Merit Award, presented to the company whose product best
improves the quality of life for patients, went to ATMOS for its
S 041
Wound Pump. The pump supports quick mobilization of patients
and requires less frequent dressing changes. By pushing a button,
the vacuum adjusts quickly and precisely to set levels.

According to Nielsen Business Media, show producers, plans for a
new, more interactive New Product Pavilion are underway for the
30th anniversary of Medtrade, set for Oct. 12-15 in Atlanta. For
