Advanced Computerized Personal Cardiograph
MAC PC Your key to complete EKG diagnostic services
Holter monitoring ... The
MAC PC can connect you You could use the MAC PC as a conventional office electrocardiograph. It meets all the requirements: small, inexpensive, reliable and easy to operate. But you wouldn't be using it to its--or your--full potential. Despite its size and price, the MAC PC packs all the power of the most advanced computerized hospital electrocardiograph. In just 15 seconds, it acquires signals from 12 leads simultaneously and analyzes them with Marquette's powerful--and accurate--12SL interpretive program. Perhaps even more important, the MAC PC enables you to link up, via standard telephone line, with outside cardiologists to offer more comprehensive EKG services from your office.
For example, a phone link to a hospital cardiology department or cardiology group practice would enable you to obtain quick confirmation of your diagnoses. With a modem-equipped MAC PC, you simply transmit such EKGs to a cardiologist's Marquette electrocardiograph or MUSE EKG processing and management system. You will receive back, on your MAC PC, the overread report.
Similarly, with the MAC PC you can receive Holter reports from a Marquette Laser Holter system in minutes--a fraction of the time required to receive the reports by mail or courier
In short, the MAC PC enables you to offer extensive EKG diagnostic services with minimal investment. Even if you have no immediate interest in offering such EKG services now, the MAC PC is a good investment because its flexibility broadens your future options. Its phone-line transmission, or "networking" capabilities can be added at any time.
The MAC PC is an advanced office-sized electrocardiograph. But it is also much more than that. It is your key to expanding EKG diagnostic services.
The MAC PC enables you to transmit EKGs to a cardiologist's Marquette MAC electrocardiograph for quick overreading. The cardiologist's confirmed report comes back to your MAC PC. With the MAC PC you can also transmit EKCs to a MUSE system for overreading, serial comparison or storage.
MAC PC High technology in a small, inexpensive portable
We've coupled the latest computer microminiaturization technology with our proven EKG analysis program to create a new health care product: a truly portable personal cardiographic computer. Weighing only 11 pounds, the size of a medical textbook, the MAC PC performs analyses that once required a whole roomful of electronic equipment.
The MAC PC makes computer-analyzed EKGs available anywhere, bringing state-of-the-art EKG capability to a variety of healthcare settings--physicians' offices, clinics, ambulatory care centers, surgical centers and even patients' homes. Never before has such electrocardiographic power been available in an inexpensive, portable unit.
Acquiring the signals
The MAC PC acquires all 12
classical EKG leads simultaneously
with Marquette's New Acquisition
Module, which, attached directly
to the patient, digitizes the EKG
waveforms and sends the data
to the unit via a standard, inexpensive
telephone type cable.
This method of acquisition sets
a new standard for signal quality.
Marquette
12SL analysis
In 15 seconds, the MAC PC
performs a complete 12-lead
analysis of any EKG. The analysis
is based on the same proven
12SL program once available
only with room-sized EKG systems.
The program contains age-specific
criteria and accurately
analyzes EKGs from patients of
all ages, from newborns to
adults. Continually fine-tuned by
28 of the world's leading electrocardiographers,
the 12SL program
processes nearly one in
every four EKGs taken in the U.S.
today. it is backed by a still-growing
data base of over 5 million EKGs and has earned the
trust of thousands of cardiologists
worldwide.
The DDW writes high-fidelity, distortion-free waveforms.
Direct Digital Writer
The MAC PC writes both reports
and waveforms with Marquette's
solid-state Direct Digital Writer
Except for the paper drive,
this writer has no pens or other
moving parts. The result is
extremely reliable performance--no ink to run out, no pens to
burn out, nothing to go out
of adjustment--and distortion-free
waveforms. Waveforms may
be written in three- or six-channel
formats.
Easy to use
But despite its power, the
MAC PC is extremely easy to
use. Just connect the electrodes
and push one button. The instrument
does the rest. it collects
10 seconds of EKG data from all
12 standard leads, performs a
full analysis of morphology and
rhythm using Marquette's 12SL
analysis program, and prints
a report in the format of your
choice. The report includes heart
rate, PR interval, QRS duration,
P-R-T axis measurement, QT and corrected QT. In addition, the
MAC PC will
store up to 20 EKGs
in solid state memory.
MAC PC Clinic Cart
(optional)
The clinic cart, an optional feature of the MAC PC, gives you even more mobility and includes storage compartments at the top, compartmentalized trays in the bottom, and a basket with liner
Networking
with the
MAC PC
Equipped with a modem, the
MAC PC can communicate with
thousands of other Marquette
electrocardiographs and EKG
processing systems throughout
the U.S. and in many other
countries. This networking capability
enables you to transmit EKGs to another Marquette
electrocardiograph for overreading
or to a MUSE system for
overreading, serial comparison,
or storage. Because the MAC PC
is battery operated, you can
take the unit anywhere--even to
a patient's home--and transmit ECGs via standard or cellular
phones for quick overreading
or a second opinion. You can
send EKGs from almost anywhere,
even from patients' homes
for quick overreading or a second
opinion. You can even take
the MAC PC home with you for
receiving and overreading EKGs.
The optional modem also equips the MAC PC to receive Holter reports from Marquette Holter systems. The Holter report includes summary statistics, interpretation and 10-second rhythm strips.
The specially built 2400 baud modem can be added at any time, so even if you have no need to transmit and receive EKG information today, the MAC PC assures you of that capability in the future.
Wherever you use it, the MAC PC can make you part of the growing Marquette ECG communications network.
Analog Output
Flexibility
The MAC PC offers additional
flexibility with an Analog Output
option. This feature enables you
to continuously monitor as
many as three leads of EKG data
on an oscilloscope. During
monitoring you may recall and
printout 5 seconds of the three
displayed leads or 2.5 seconds
of all 12 leads at operator
programmable intervals or on
demand by the push of a button.
