Meditech card(X)plore - combined ECG Holter and ABPM recorder system

Description

card(X)plore is an extremely powerful ambulatory cardiovascular diagnostic device. It records and stores state-of-the-art 3-channel full disclosure ECG data, and performs full ambulatory blood pressure monitoring simultaneously. As an option, it can also record activity and body position signals using a two-axis acceleration sensor. The recorder operates silently and reliably with 4 AA rechargeable batteries. It uses a stamp-sized MMC/SD multimedia card for no-compression storage to ensure perfect signal quality, and avoid data loss due to compression typical of earlier digital ECG recorders. card(X)plore is easily initialized by either inserting a pre-configured memory card, or selecting an internal preset program, or by connecting it to a PC using an optical cable link.

This last option also enables on-line, real-time ECG monitoring to achieve the best electrode placement. The unit performs continuous real-time beat-to-beat ECG analysis as well. Automatic event detection with adjustable preset limits ensures that corresponding blood pressure values are recorded during (silent) ischaemic events, high or low heart rates, and syncopal episodes. Patients can also mark additional, symptomatic events. Optional activity and body position monitoring provides additional data to help fine-tune the analysis. Data recorded with card(X)plore are transferred to a personal computer and processed by CardioVisions, which is a powerful integrated database, display, analysis and report generation software package.
