System Description
The Mortara Instrument Ambulatory X12+ Telemetry Module represents the state-of-the-art in Wireless
Electrocardiographic Technology. It provides a means to acquire and transmit 12-lead cardiac signals without
direct connections to an electrocardiograph. Design innovations implemented in the X12+ Telemetry Module
achieve real-time acquisition, RF transmission of simultaneous 12-lead ECG data with diagnostic quality to the
Mortara Receiver Module while allowing the patient to be ambulatory.
In addition, by using a very high monitoring frequency to transmit cardiac signals, the diagnostic bandwidth of
the signals is maintained.
The Ambulatory X12+ affords the patient complete freedom of movement. Unlimited range can also be
obtained with addition of the Mortara Antenna Network Box(s).
The X12+ Transmitter uses a single AA alkaline battery.
Equipment Included
The following equipment is necessary to use the Ambulatory X12+ Telemetry Module:
• Ambulatory X12+ (transmitter),
• One AA battery, 1.5V,
• Mortara Receiver Module with Antennas,
• Patient cable
• Antenna Network (optional)
