WITH ECG-Viewer PC Software
The ECG-Viewer software package can be used by any number of Heartscan monitors - you only need to buy the software once. Additional single units (see HCG-801-E) can then use the software as well.
Import ECG data into the computer and use it for diagnosis
ECG Viewer is software, which allows importing data from the HeartScan ECG Monitor into a computer so that it can be examined and printed.
The software allows changing of the scale and range of the ECG to better observe specific events. This makes it very useful for doctors in making their diagnosis.
The software allows changing the display scale freely in order to confirm details.
This feature can be used to display a detailed screen for close observation of a certain period.
The Omron Heartscan is designed and intended for situations where conventional ECG equipment is less suitable.
12-Channels ECG devices used in hospital give more information and are used for detailed investigation. These devices are not practical in outdoor situations where transient symptoms require a fast and mobile solution.
When compared to existing mobile solutions the Heartscan offers the possibility of long-term monitoring where 24-hour Holter systems normally have difficulties recording an actual event.
In situations where further examination is required a non-invasive event recorder would be the an alternative. The continuous measurement requires displine and inconvenient electrodes and wires for the patient. discussions on the automated evaluation and recorded data is sometimes a restriction for use.
Implanted reveal devices are currently getting more popular but require a minor invasive procedure and are therefore more expensive. Because these products are invasive, not all patients are in favor of this solution.
The Omron HeartScan offers an alternative to the above mentioned procedures:
- The Omron Heartscan is intended for screening and self-monitoring of cardiac events. (under professional supervision)
- The device can record about 30 seconds of heart rhythm and waveform each time it is activated.
- After recording, the automatic evaluation software will check the collected data.
- Directly after completing the measurement the recorded rhythm strip can be reviewed on the LCD screen.
- For further detailed evaluation the data can be transfered to a PC screen with the ECG-viewer software.
- The SD memory card can store up to 300 recordings offering sufficient space for long-term monitoring.
- The HeartScan is very simple to operate.
