Electrocardiograph on Computer Card

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 08 Jul 2003
A small, light-weight 12-channel electrocardiograph called EKGCard can be used with a personal digital assistant (PDA) for point-of-care use. More...
The EKGCard has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The EKGCard utilizes the patented PC Card technology of QRS Diagnostic (Plymouth, MN, USA; www.qrsdiagnostic.com) to build the intelligence of electrocardiography data acquisition entirely into a type II PC Card. The electrode leads connect directly to the PC Card itself, thereby eliminating the need for a separate cable between the device and the leads. By simply sliding EKGCard into the PC Card slot of any PDA, doctors and nurses instantly have a portable, full-function 12-channel diagnostic device that can be used in a hospital, a doctor's office, or in home care.

"The new EKGCard from QRS is the ultimate combination of quality, ease-of-use, portability, and affordability,” said Jeffrey K. Pearson, D.O., medical director of Medicine-in-Motion, a family practice and sports medicine clinic in San Marcos, CA (USA).

The current software-based device connects to computers via USB (universal serial bus) and serial ports. QRS markets the same device worldwide under the name Universal ECG for use with notebook, laptop, and desktop PCs.
