FAA purchases CompuMeds ECG machines

Dec. 6 – CompuMed has begun shipping its CardioGram enhanced electrocardiogram (ECG) systems to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Senior Aviation Medical Examiners (Sr. AME).

Sr. AMEs are doctors providing pilot medical screening services required by the FAA. CompuMed’s CardioGram machines are compatible with the FAA’s ECG Administrative Data System and are able to transmit data directly to the FAA, the Los Angeles-based CompuMed said.

CompuMed has added 25 Sr. AMEs to its customer base.
