The LIFEGARD II, the latest in a series of non-invasive patientmonitors from Analogic, is the platform upon which the Company willexpand its patient monitoring offerings. LIFEGARD II with ICG(Impedance CardioGraphy) uses Thoracic Electrical Bioimpedance (TEB)to measure continuous cardiac output, and is the only patient monitorthat has ICG totally integrated with all other standard, non-invasivevital signs.

Non-invasive hemodynamic measurement is a valuable, establishedtool in managing cardiac patients, and the LIFEGARD II with ICG is themost comprehensive non-invasive cardiac output monitor availabletoday.

Dan Webster, General Manager of Analogic's Life Care SystemsDivision, noted, "The LIFEGARD II family represents a significantexpansion of our growing LIFEGARD family of patient monitors. Thenon-invasive, portable LIFEGARD II with ICG adds a new level ofversatility to patient monitoring by allowing clinicians to morecomprehensively monitor patient hemodynamics anywhere in the hospitalor in non-acute environments such as freestanding clinics andphysicians' offices. Clinicians can evaluate a patient in considerablyless time and with no risk of infection, compared to conventionalinvasive monitoring modalities."

Analogic's LIFEGARD family of non-invasive patient monitors alsoincludes LIFEGARD, a general-purpose monitor that measures ECG, heartrate, respiration, pulse oximetry, non-invasive blood pressure, andtemperature; LIFEGARD ICG, a non-invasive hemodynamic status monitor;and the FETALGARD Lite(R) and FETALGARD Lite with NIBP, antepartumfetal monitors capable of monitoring twins. LIFEGARD II multiparametermonitors can also measure end-tidal CO2, in addition to ICG and thefive standard vital sign parameters.
