PageWriter 200/300pi M1771A/1770A Cardiograph 5-1

5 Transmitting, Faxing, and Receiving Auto ECGs

(Options #A05 or StressWriter only)

If your PageWriter 200/300pi cardiograph is equipped with Options #A05 or

StressWriter, it can transmit and receive ECGs. The cardiograph must be con-

figured for these functions before using them. For more information about

configuring your cardiograph for transmitting and receiving ECGs, see Con-

figuring Your Cardiograph, and Setting Up Your Cardiograph.

Transmitting ECGs

Your PageWriter 200/300pi cardiograph can transmit Auto ECGs to another

PageWriter 200, 200i or 300pi equipped with Options #A05 or StressWriter,

to a PageWriter XLi cardiograph, to a TraceMaster ECG Management Sys-

tem, or to a Group III facsimile machine.

NOTE You cannot transmit Manual ECGs. You can transmit only ECGs that have

been stored.

If you are transmitting an ECG analyzed with ECL 09 criteria to a TraceMas-

ter or ECG Manager system, you must first load the ECL 09 criteria on the

receiving TraceMaster or ECG Manager system. Please contact your local

Agilent Technologies representative for assistance or details on adding the

ECL 09 criteria.

Four typical ECG transmission situations are:

l An ECG transmitted from the cardiograph at the bedside to a Trace-

Master ECG Management System for printing, overreading, and stor-

ing.

l ECGs recorded on rounds and then transmitted to another PageWriter

cardiograph or a TraceMaster Management System in another area of

the institution.
