HOCHBERG, Germany, September 20, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CareFusion , a leading, global medical device company, today announced the commercial release of SentrySuite(TM), the next-generation clinical diagnostics software for the Jaeger(TM) and SensorMedics(R) Pulmonary Diagnostics and CardioPulmonary Diagnostics instruments.

SentrySuite is an innovative set of software applications to assist with clinically intelligent diagnostics to improve the quality of patient data and to help our customers drive productivity and efficiency. The application focuses on data, organization, workflow and connectivity so physicians can focus more time on patient care.

Over the past several years, we have worked closely with our global customer base through focus groups, user preference and usability testing to ensure we created a solid foundation for our current and future product portfolio, said Gijsbert van Kampen, vice president of Global Marketing Respiratory Diagnostics at CareFusion. Building on this foundation we developed SentrySuite to be backwards-compatible with existing databases for Jaeger and SensorMedics Pulmonary and CardioPulmonary diagnostics devices. Clinicians can transfer historical patient records to the new platform, and they can complete patient data comparisons and trend analysis - both of which are essential for assessing and developing the best patient treatments possible.

Access to the database is provided through a local area network or the Internet, providing the physician with easy and secure access to patients' records.

CareFusion has the largest installed base of Pulmonary and CardioPulmonary Diagnostic equipment, and SentrySuite enables customers to budget for a phased transition to the new software and hardware environments, while at the same time updating and extending their laboratories with new solutions.

In addition to diagnostic capabilities, the SentrySuite platform offers many additional benefits, including unlimited user access and user preference entry screens, animated operator coaching and guidance in real time during testing, disease classification and one single diagram that captures the quality of the diagnostics measurement performed on the patient. SentrySuite's capabilities will expand over time with a wide variety of diagnostic applications.

SentrySuite is currently available in the United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, with growing global availability.
