A PIONEER IN SLEEP & NEURODIAGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS SINCE 1986
Stellate has been a pioneer in the development of clinically relevant
solutions that help improve diagnosis and efficiency since 1986. From its
early days, Stellate’s computerized event detection algorithms for epilepsy
monitoring received universal recognition as the gold standard in the industry.
The company saw an opportunity to apply its considerable experience and
knowledge base to create a uniquely differentiated product that addressed
current and emerging customer needs more comprehensively for the Sleep diagnostic
market.
DESIGNED WITH UNIQUE FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Stellate’s Harmonie-S features several proprietary data analysis tools
based on original research and is designed for exceptional ease of use,
simplified workflows and enhanced efficiencies. Our design approach ensures
easy upgrading of features and the option of multiple applications (such
as sleep diagnosis and EEG) on the same platform.
A number of other distinctive features set the Harmonie-S apart from
other products in the market. Quick start, computer- assisted sleep staging,
on-line/off-line event editing, user configurable sleep graphs, perfectly
synchronized MPEG-4 digital video and a 20-bit, 44-channel amplifier with
variable sampling rates up to 2000 Hz are just a few of the unique features
that help ensure quality and greatly improved efficiency in the sleep lab.
Unique to Harmonie-S is a 15-channel DC interface box that allows interfacing
of multiple external devices. Most recently, an ETCO2 module is available
as an option, thus enhancing the range of features that Harmonie-S offers.
A powerful Microsoft® SQL patient
database with a full featured scheduling and electronic patient record management
system facilitates efficient lab operations. Combined with a comprehensive
line of accessories, Stellate’s Harmonie-S offers a truly complete solution
for all polysomnography requirements.
Responding quickly to the new AASM standards, Stellate's Harmonie-S now
complies with AASM recommendations.
POWERFUL ADVANTAGES FOR THE END-USER
Harmonie-S has been designed for ease-of-use and high user efficiency
both from a technologist and physician point of view. Additionally, Harmonie-S
offers tools for the researcher, thus addressing the needs of both the clinical
and research market.
The ability to start recordings quickly, manage large amounts of patient
data, flexibly configure graphical displays and trends, minimize scoring
time, obtain signals of high quality free of artifacts and have the capability
of networking with remote viewing, all add up to a set of powerful advantages
for the end-user.
Advanced event detection algorithms significantly enhance diagnostic
accuracy, enabling users to promptly capture critical events as they occur
and take appropriate action. Powerful and flexible analysis tools provide
additional information to resolve difficult diagnostic situations. Components
that directly interface with the patient are designed with a high emphasis
on patient comfort and safety. The scalable architecture of Harmonie-S addresses
the fundamental need of sleep labs to be able to easily upgrade their facilities
in tune with their growth.
GAINING MARKET PRESENCE
As a uniquely differentiated product, Harmonie-S continues to build up
its presence at a wide range of institutions from the smallest free-standing
clinic to some of the world's most respected hospitals and universities.
Stellate's ability to rapidly respond to customer needs and incorporate
them in ongoing product development ensures that the Harmonie-S will continue
to gain market presence.
