GE MAC 5000 EKG MACHINE July 23rd, 2008

The MAC 5000 Resting ECG System, from GE Healthcare, comes ready to tackle your advanced Electro Cardiogram applications. Complete for any hospital, clinic, physician office practice, Emergency Medical Care and paramedic setting. True, 12-lead ECG computer analysis and interpretation, P-wave signal averaging.
Benefits:
• Pre-acquisition: Provides 10 seconds of instantaneous ECG acquisition. Allows clinician to capture any infinitesimal abnormality no matter when it occurs.
• Electrocardiogram frequency: 500 samples/second (sps) extremely fast ECG analysis
• Special acquisition functions: Disconnected lead detection, electrode impedance, excessive AC noise, baseline wander and muscle tremor messages
• ECG storage on removable media: 150 typical, with an impressive 200 ECGs maximum (1.44 MB, 3.5diskette)
• Larger Digital sampling rate: 4000 samples/second/channel.
• Light weight: 15 lbs (6.8Kilos)
• With a display resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and waveform enhancement, it provides clearer pictures than many hospital departmental computers.
• At 3.7″H x 15″W x 3.8″D small enough to fit into most storage compartments between uses. Computerized measurements: 15-lead analysis includes measurements of user-selectable additional 3 leads
• Network Interface: Modem and Fax transmission, remote retrieval
• Power / Battery AC or battery powered

Electrocardiogram 12-lead ECG EKG: A combination of electrodes that form an imaginary line in the body along which the electrical signals are measured. In fact, a 12 lead electrocardiograph usually only uses 10 wires/ electrodes-this leads me to the following article.
Note: We seldom discuss 12-lead even though it performs such an important task in so many modern clinical settings-okay, so you knew you use 10 wires-while researching this article I came across an interesting article: 12-lead ST-segment monitoring vs. single-lead maximum ST-segment monitoring for detecting ongoing ischemia in patients with unstable coronary syndromes, by BJ Drew, et al http://ajcc.aacnjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/7/5/355 An interesting refresher, give it a try.
