Decades of research have gone into developing Philips' 12-lead ECG algorithm, which is continuously updated by a team of Cardiologists at the Advanced Algorithm Research Center. Philips was the first to provide computerized ECG analysis and the first to incorporate that analysis into a cardiograph.
The Philips Advanced 12-Lead ECG Algorithm
- Better assessment of AMI
- Improved pace make detection
- Improved pediatric analysis
HeartStart MRx Monitor/Defibrillator 12-Lead ECG User Interface
- Ease of use
- Eliminates the need to re-send, with 12-lead ECG view
- Analysis on screen
- Can store up to 50 12-lead ECGs
Open System Interfacing
Philips believes the key to system integration is to be "Open". The data are not for us to hold hostage, but for our customers to use. To that end, the same algorithm can be found in our defibrillators, bedside monitors, and cardiographs: from the field, to the physician's office, to the ED, to the Heart Station to the Cath Lab and at the bedside.
The many benefits of having the same algorithm consistently incorporated into multiple modalities include:
- Seamless integration and a seamless history/trend of the patient's progression via multiple 12-lead ECGs taken through the care cycle.
- Cardiologists, nurses and paramedics all read the same algorithm and have a framework for comparison, instilling confidence in the 12-lead ECG chain.
- 12-leads can be stored in the Philips TraceMaster Vue ECG Management system. Serial comparison of multiple 12-leads allows the history of the STEMI/AMI patient to be further analyzed.
- TraceMaster vue enables viewing, printing and searching of the 12-lead ECGs from anywhere.
- Using portal technology on Philips patient monitors, 12-lead ECG reports from any Philips device can be called up at the bedside.
