4 ECG Storage (Options #A05 or StressWriter)

This chapter contains information about storing ECGs using the internal

memory of the PageWriter 200/300pi, Options #A05 or StressWriter. Infor-

mation about using and printing the Log of ECGs Taken and the Log of ECGs

Stored is also included.

Advantages of Storage

Storing ECGs allows you to recall the ECGs later as needed. Individual ECGs

or groups of ECGs can be recalled for re-analyzing, editing, printing, or trans-

mitting.

ECGs are stored at a resolution of 500 samples per second, and include a full

ten seconds of data for all leads. Up to thirty Auto ECGs may be stored in the

internal memory. Only Auto ECGs can be stored. Manual ECGs cannot be

stored. An ECG must be stored before it can be transmitted.

When you finish acquiring and printing an ECG, you can choose whether or

not to store it. You can store an ECG without entering patient ID information.

The cardiograph records the ECG with a patient ID of “Unknown”. If you

store the ECG with no patient ID information or with partial ID information,

you can edit the patient ID information later, and then reprint the edited

reports. The PageWriter 200/300pi stores the ECG measurements and the

ECG copy interpretation.
