MAC 5 Resting ECG

MAC 5 Resting ECG is a compact system for acquisition, analysis and connection. Designed to help your teams capture and share high-quality ECGs efficiently, it guides users through acquisition, supports consistent high-quality ECGs and helps protect patient data.

At a glance

Simple to use

85% of users need minimal training¹. 31% fewer steps to complete an ECG²

Precise care

12SL™ algorithm: clinical decision support for accurate ECG interpretation³

Secure

We take a holistic approach to safeguarding data

19 out of 20 use MAC Resting ECG

95% of the Best Hospitals for Cardiology, Heart, and Vascular Surgery use MAC Solutions⁴

More ECGs. More care locations. Less time.

Resting ECGs are performed across departments by users with different levels of experience. Teams need a consistent way to capture accurate data, complete exams quickly and move results into the patient record - without creating extra work for clinicians or IT.

Shortage of qualified staff, burnout and high staff turnover: Nearly half of ECG technicians lacking dedicated training.⁵
Manual workarounds: Re-entering ECG results or faxing reports are still common, increasing the risk of errors and slowing care delivery.⁶
Privacy concerns: Unsecure transmission methods make practices vulnerable to compliance and regulatory issues.

43-51% untrained

Lack of dedicated ECG training raises the risk of errors and misreads⁷

0.4-4% lead reversals

Mistaken placement may trigger false alarms or cause missed diagnoses¹²

Features

High-quality ECGs, without added complexity

Complete a high-quality exam in just a few clicks. Then send the results anywhere, quickly and securely. All with minimal training or support.

Simple to use

A clear path from acquisition to high quality ECGs

Easily capture accurate high quality ECGs across locations, reducing repeats and misdiagnosis. Share data fast and efficiently with flexible standards-based data exchange that supports your workflows.

Minimize mix-ups: Automatically detect a newly connected patient with Smart Lead technology.
Reduce variability: Capture clean, high-quality waveforms quickly—even with minimal trainings, with Hookup Advisor^TM which provides real-time acquisition guidance.
Help prevent misdiagnosis: Ensures correct electrode placement by providing on-screen alerts when a reversal is suspected. Using the 12SL™ algorithm, the system identifies 19 possible electrode reversals before acquisition.
Lower number of repeats Auto-ECG algorithm: Automatically captures and displays the first clean, high-quality ECG.
Direct and file based exchange: Optional DICOM Direct queries and downloads modality worklists and sends DICOM ECG data directly to RIS/PACS without intermediary software. PDF/XML files can be sent to a shared folder or SFTP destination.
Bi-directional clinical system integration⁸: Use MUSE^TM HL7 or MUSE DICOM® Connect workflows, DICOM Gateway Pro or EMR Gateway Pro to exchange ADT, orders, and ECG results with HIS/EHR/RIS/PACS systems.

Simplify your workflow

Compact, mobile and configurable

MAC 5 is designed to move with your workflow helping drive productivity across care areas.

Easy-clean design: Wipe down the smooth surfaced screen in seconds to meet your infection control standards and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Portable by design: Easily move between locations with a compact, lightweight system with an integrated handle.
Choice of configurations to support your workflow:
- With or without a printer
- With or without a trolley

Precise care

Make confident clinical decisions with the help of real-time acquisition programs built into every ECG.

Accurate interpretations are essential for timely, confident patient care. The trusted 12SL algorithm, is an advanced clinical decision support tool that turns ECG data into actionable insights.

Full disclosure: Accelerate reading and review with a condensed full-disclosure rhythm report capable of reducing 30 pages to three.
Critical value notification: Immediately flags high-risk findings on the ECG report when configured thresholds are met, helping clinicians prioritize urgent cases.
Bi-ventricular pacing detection: Automatically detects even small signals to ensure consistent labeling and reduce rhythm interpretation errors. (pacing goes undetected in roughly 10% of ECGs).³
Zero Phase Distortion (ZPD): Ensures consistent ST-segment interpretation across both 12-lead and rhythm ECGs.
LVH recognition: Aligns with guidelines to identify key criteria and flags which criteria are positive, improving diagnostic clarity.¹⁰

Secure

Help keep your teams protected

Protect patient data and keep your equipment compliant and up and running with the help of role-based access, encryption, secure connections and proactive security updates.

Minimize vulnerabilities: Securely update firmware and software via edelivery, allowing you to efficiently maintain total control over the update process.
Control access: Role-based LDAP user authentication, patient data encryption and secure network connections help ensure MAC 5 interacts only with authorized people and systems.
Stay on top of emerging threats: A strong central security team is consistently developing additional security patches to address vulnerabilities as needed.
