New from GE: MAC800 portable ECG

GE MAC800

GE MAC800

GE has released a new EKG that brings together ease of use and the well-known and reliable Marquette 12SL analysis program into a small but powerful machine. The MAC800 Resting ECG features a preview screen, as well as a smaller print size.

Combining the optional memory storage with PDF and Word export makes the GE MAC800 the perfect ECG for doctors who perform house calls. While the printout may not be the larger format that doctors now prefer for easy charting, the ability to print the ECG using a standard computer makes up for the difference in the small printout.

Portability benefits include a built-in handle, a long battery life of 2 hours of continuous use, and a short, 4-hour recharge time.

Cardiocard PC-Based EKG

Cardiocard EKG

Cardiocard EKG

The many big names in the EKG industry all offer a PC-based version, but no one comes close in bringing together affordability and quality as the Cardiocard PC-Based EKG. It’s comes standard with interpretation, and addresses EMR integration issues by having a print-to-PDF report that can be placed easily under a patient’s file.

Aside from the obvious functionality of being an excellent EKG, networking different computers that use the same EKG will not cost you, the user, any additional costs for doing so. It even offers a monitoring option that can help you store as much EKG data as your file system will allow. Powered directly from your computer’s USB hub, the lightweight unit doesn’t need any additional batteries to run.

The best feature, perhaps, is the compatibility across different Windows operating systems. This EKG will work with a netbook running Windows XP Home, it can run on a laptop with Windows Vista, and if you find the need to get a new computer, most of them use a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. To date, the Cardiocard EKG is the only PC-based EKG we offer that runs seamless with any of these operating systems.

Features aside, perhaps the most convincing aspect of the Cardiocard is its price. It is the most affordable EKG among PC-based units that we offer.

Nihon Koden Cardiofax S

Nihon Koden Cardiofax S

Nihon Koden Cardiofax S

For practices with limited space, or for doctors who stay on the go, the Nihon Koden Cardiofax S is a small, lightweight EKG that is packed with features. Boasting a 5.7-inch color display and an integrated keyboard the Cardiofax S comes at an extremely competitive price compared to similar models. It also has in included patient simulator, to help troubleshoot the unit during a warranty call.

The compact nature of the Cardiofax S, however, requires compact paper. While not as cramped as a “traditional” 2.5-inch strip of paper, it prints out on a 3.5-inch sheet. Each tracing uses three sheets, which you can then separate and mount onto regular paper in your patients’ charts. Some may find this a disadvantage, but others would find it a welcome trade-off for portability.

It remains one of the most affordable ECGs to feature a keyboard and preview display.

The Schiller AT-2: keeping things simple

Sometimes, the most important thing you need to do is get an EKG machine and get it done. The Schiller AT-2 has been a well-known name in EKGs since it first came out. Simple, and easy to use, it keeps the focus on getting the electrocardiographs and getting it ASAP.

Sure, it may lack some of the fancy features—like a keyboard and screen—that more expensive models may have, but it provides quality EKG tracings, and clear interpretation of the results to help speed up diagnosis. For a 12-lead EKG with a great reputation and for the price that you can get it for, the Schiller AT-2 EKG provides clear full-size printouts, ready to fit into a patient chart without the use of mount forms. It’s been a mainstay for internal medicine and cardiology practices for years, and will be so for years to come.
