About the Quinton Brand
With over a half-century of history and experience in delivering high-quality cardiology products, Quinton is one of the most respected and recognized cardiac brands in the cardiology community, and is a leader in both cardiac stress testing and cardiac rehabilitation management systems.
Founder Wayne Quinton's collaboration with Dr. Robert Bruce of the University of Washington in the 1950's led to the groundbreaking invention of the world's first treadmill system for use in cardiac stress testing, and the development of the Bruce treadmill protocol. This procedure and protocol are among the common and cost-effective diagnostic cardiology procedures to evaluate and manage heart disease.
The Q-Stress cardiac stress system is the 8th generation stress system under the Quinton brand. The PC-based system was introduced in 2001 and has won numerous design and performance awards including product of the year in 2002 and 2005.
Quinton treadmills, widely acknowledged as the "gold standard" for performance and reliability, have evolved from Wayne Quinton's original design to today's digitally controlled models integrated with the stress monitor.
Quinton is the world-leader in Cardiac Rehabilitation management systems. Created in the 1980s to improve the survival rate of post-event cardiac patients, cardiac rehabilitation's goal is to help patients transition to near activity levels. The Quinton Q-Tel system, invented in the 1980s, monitors multiple patients throughout their cardiac rehabilitation prescription. Our latest version, Q-Tel RMS monitors up to 12 patients and provides full-spectrum rehab program management capability.
Originally founded in the early 1960s, Quinton devices continue to provide high quality, accurate results for hospitals and clinics worldwide.
