Precision performance and sophisticated ergonomics converge on the Philips PageWriter Touch EKG, making it easier to record, analyze, print, store and transmit ECGs. Designed for use in large hospitals where high quality and accuracy are paramount, PageWriter Touch makes every step in the testing process easy.

The innovative patient module design ensures lead wires are tangle-free and ready to use. The large, high-resolution touch display presents the information you need quickly and clearly, including lead quality, EKG snapshots, and the complete print-ready EKG with interpretation. The Philips 12-lead Algorithm ensures each interpretation is highly sensitive and specific.

The PageWriter Touch Features EKG Acquisition

• EKG signal acquisition of up to 12 leads for both adult and pediatric patients
• R/T (real-time) 12-lead display with EKG “snapshot” feature: - Take EKG snapshots of any data on the screen with the touch of a button - Review snapshots and print EKG reports in a variety of formats
• AUTO 12-lead acquisition
• RHYTHM display and printing (up to 12 leads)
• DISCLOSE five minutes of continuous waveform data for review and printing

EKG Quality Monitor

• Extensive ECG quality indicators include AC noise filtering, in addition to artifact filtering and baseline wander correction.
• Color-coded real-time waveform display and loose electrode alerts provide instant quality feedback to the user.

EKG Memory and Transfer

• The PageWriterTouch cardiograph provides storage memory for ECGs and easy transfer by floppy disk, modem or LAN connection to an ECG management system.
• Each recorded ECG is automatically indexed on the cardiograph for quick review and retrieval. A list of all stored ECGs can be printed, facilitating administrative reporting and billing.
• The optional modem allows for quick transmission to a fax machine or an automated ECG management system. ECGs may be transmitted for management, physician review, and copying.

EKG Interpretation

• The PageWriterTouch cardiograph includes the Philips 12-Lead Algorithm for interpretive analysis of the amplitudes, durations, and morphologies of ECG waveforms and associated rhythm for adult and pediatric patients.
• This clinically proven interpretation program provides configurable levels of interpretive, reason, and severity statements that are printed on the ECG report.

Print Preview Capability

• Full-screen preview of EKG reports exactly as they appear when printed allows for quality assessment checks prior to printing.
• Multiple report formats may be applied to any EKG, with full preview of reports before printing.

Mobile Cart Integral Part of Cardiograph

• The mobile cart provides convenient transport for the PageWriterTouch cardiograph and accessories from bedside to bedside. Designed for maneuverability and durability, the cart is well suited to the hospital environment.
• Ample storage space in the cart includes a tray, as well as optional locking drawers for supplies.
• Cradle for patient module storage and protection is built into the cardiograph.

Battery

• Rechargeable battery records approximately 50 EKGs or 40 minutes of rhythm recording from a single battery charge.
