What Makes Stress Test Electrodes Different?

Understanding Stress Test Electrodes by Samantha TilkinsA stress test is a commonly used diagnostic tool to assess how well your heart functions under physical exertion. The test typically involves physical activity, such as walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike, and helps determine if your heart is getting enough blood, if your symptoms can be reproduced with activity, and how your heart compares to others your age and sex. It also provides insight into potential issues with valves, blood supply, or electrical stability.Stress Test BasicsDuring a stress test, healthcare providers monitor several vital signs: heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and ECG data.

The Silent Killer – How ECGs Detect Hidden Heart Attacks

General Health, NMHS, Patient Monitoring

By Anna Dwyer Nearly half of heart attacks strike silently, causing heart damage without noticeable symptoms. These cases are just limited to the older generation.

ECG, General Health, NMHS, Patient Monitoring

What are Hypoallergenic ECG Electrodes?For those patients with fragile or sensitive skin, sticking any device to their skin can cause irritation. While looking for a gentle ECG electrode, there are many buzz words used. Unfortunately in the case of the word ‘hypoallergenic’ the FDA has no regulation on its meaning.While “Allergen-Free” and “Hypoallergenic” are enticing terms that are commonly used in marketing, with no regulation they have no real meaning. So let’s dig in to what each of these buzz words can mean.Allergen-Free ElectrodesNothing can be truly “allergen-free” since even the most elemental or basic ingredients can technically cause an allergic reaction to somebody. The term is commonly used when common allergens (latex, certain dyes/fragrances, or metals) are avoided. When finding an electrode that is the best for sensitive skin,…

The Shift Toward Nearshoring in Medical Device Manufacturing

Capabilities, Design and Manufacturing, Manufacturing Excellence

By Amy JearyGlobal supply chain disruptions and evolving trade policies, including potential new tariffs, are prompting medical device manufacturers to rethink sourcing strategies. As geopolitical uncertainties and regulatory shifts loom, companies are increasingly turning to nearshoring—moving production closer to home—to reduce lead times, improve resilience, and navigate potential cost increases more effectively.Why Medical Device Manufacturers Are Nearshoring1.

Nearshoring shortens supply chains, reduces reliance on global logistics, and enables faster market responses.2. Faster Lead TimesNearshoring significantly reduces shipping times, enabling companies to react quickly to demand fluctuations, regulatory changes, and urgent medical needs—critical for high-demand devices like diagnostic equipment and surgical instruments.3. Cost and Regulatory BenefitsAlthough Far East labor costs are lower,…
