Kardia 12L vs Etiometry Platform
Etiometry is an ICU platform that pulls data from monitors, devices and the EHR and runs four FDA-cleared risk indices. IDO2 covers post-surgical patients aged 0 to 12 and adults 18 and over not on mechanical circulatory support. IVCO2 and ACD cover ventilated patients from 0 days to 12 years, and HLA covers post-surgical patients aged 0 to 12. The vendor holds 11 FDA 510(k) records, signs BAAs, states SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 compliance, and lists SMART-on-FHIR integrations without naming an EHR. Its claim of up to 36% shorter length of stay is observational and vendor-labeled. There is no public price, only a demo form.
Kardia 12L derives a 12-lead tracing from five electrode placements on a single cable, and AliveCor's press page announces CMS reimbursement approval in January 2025. The ICU team is deciding how to flag oxygen delivery and ventilation risk, and a cardiology practice is deciding how to record a 12-lead tracing in its own rooms.
