If you work in cardiopulmonary care, you know the landscape is constantly evolving. Patient needs are changing, clinical expectations are rising, and the demand for precise, efficient diagnostics has never been greater. That's why we're excited to share big news from MGC Diagnostics: the launch of the Meridian Series™, a next-generation line of cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems designed to set a new standard for performance and flexibility.
The Meridian Series™ was built with a simple but ambitious goal-give healthcare professionals a tool that not only delivers exceptional accuracy but also adapts to the realities of modern clinical environments. Whether you're performing routine spirometry or tackling advanced cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), this system is designed to keep pace.
At its core, Meridian is all about precision, modularity, and workflow simplicity. Its intuitive interface and powerful analytic tools reduce friction in the testing process, helping clinicians spend less time troubleshooting equipment and more time focusing on patients.
One of the standout features of the Meridian Series™ is its modular architecture. Need a full-featured cart system? Prefer a compact tabletop setup? Meridian adjusts to you, not the other way around. Better yet, its design anticipates future needs, ensuring easy upgrades that protect your investment over time.
Dr. Zack Roloff, Gas Exchange Product Manager at MGC Diagnostics, described the vision behind the system perfectly:
"The Meridian Series™ is a direct response to the evolving needs of cardiorespiratory diagnostics. We focused on delivering a system that offers unparalleled precision in everything from spirometry to CPET, while also integrating seamlessly into clinical workflows. This advanced technology is designed to simplify complex testing, eliminate laboratory downtime, and be cost-effective."
Of course, even great hardware needs equally great software. That's where Ascent™, MGC Diagnostics' most powerful software platform to date, comes in. Paired with the Meridian Series™, Ascent™ elevates the entire diagnostic experience-making data easier to interpret, results quicker to obtain, and workflows smoother across the board.
Raul Carreras, President of MGC Diagnostics, highlighted how this combination sets Meridian apart:
"What makes the Meridian special is its modular design with its versatile cart and tabletop setups. Coupled with the most powerful software on the market, Ascent™, you get a system that's not just another piece of equipment - it's a complete solution designed to make a real difference in how healthcare providers work and, most importantly, in the lives of the patients they serve."
Because of its adaptability, the Meridian Series™ fits naturally into a wide range of environments:
This level of scalability allows healthcare teams to tailor the system to their unique needs without sacrificing performance.
