Med Reference, expanded: now 1,100+ medications, each linked to its official FDA label — with label-sourced dosing, routes, and indications for educational reference. Always verify with your facility references and pharmacy. Rhythm Reader, sharper: reads the strip's printed grid to calibrate timing, corrects for glare and uneven lighting, supports 25/50 mm/s paper speeds and multi-lead strips, and offers manual grid calibration plus landscape-capture guidance. Results use educational pattern names with alternates to consider and interval measurements — verify with calipers. New tool — Inventory Manager: track your unit's shared equipment. Check items out and in, flag repairs and cleaning, and print or scan QR asset labels. Equipment details only — no names, MRNs, or DOBs. Practice mode: rhythm practice strips now come from real, clinically labeled recordings — for educational practice only. Plus: employer and union account status updates right after approval, and assorted fixes.
