SunTech Medical's Oscar 2 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor Selected By Intermountain Healthcare

MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today SunTech Medical announces the first installation of its Oscar 2 ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) in the Intermountain Healthcare system. These monitors were placed at the flagship Intermountain Medical Center facility in Murray, UT in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley.

The SunTech Oscar 2 is the only ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) with both BHS and International Protocol validations and delivers the robust level of clinical reporting that the staff at the Intermountain Medical Center requires.
