Automatically Measuring and Interpreting ECGs

The PageWriter 200/300pi uses the ECG Analysis Program to produce pre-

cise, accurate and consistent ECG measurements. In the PageWriter 300pi, the

program further provides interpretive statements that highlight key areas of

concern for your review. The primary objective of interpretation is to help the

physician in making a clinical diagnosis. The interpreted results are best used

in conjunction with the physician’s knowledge of the patient, the results of the

physical examination, the ECG tracing, and other findings. This tool is most

helpful, however, if you understand how and why it works, and how you can

best use its capabilities.

The ECG Analysis Program uses the following patient ID entries for interpre-

tation: age, sex, height, and weight.

See the Physician’s Reference Guide (part number M1700-92908) for detailed

information about the ECG Analysis Program.
