INTUITIVE

Get high quality ECGs on every patient

With every touch, you elevate efficiency and accelerate quality ECG.

  • Minimize mix-ups: Smart Lead technology automatically detects a newly connected patient.
  •  
  • Avoid variability: Enhanced Hookup Advisor™ guides even the newest user to a clean, high-quality waveform.
  •  
  • Reduce repeats: Optional Auto-ECG algorithm immediately captures and displays the first clean, high-quality ECG.
  •  
  • Reduce variability in ECG quality: By identifying signal quality, acquiring the highest quality ECG automatically, displaying it in high resolution and including print and transmission options, the MAC 7 helps increase staff efficiency.
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

Flexible and scalable

Network connectivity is a critical piece of a successful clinical workflow.

As it relates to ECG, when clinicians can count on connectivity, it boosts confidence throughout the cardiology department.

MAC 7 features bidirectional communication with MUSE™, CardioSoft™, your EMR and other cardiology systems.7

It also enables data exchange in multiple data formats such as DICOM, HL7, PDF and XML.

As a result, your ADT, patient data, orders and test results can transfer effortlessly—all to support a seamless ECG workflow and comprehensive patient record.
MARQUETTE 12SL

Since its introduction, over 40 years ago, the 12SL ECG analysis program has been consistently refined.

It has been improved to offer our customers clinically validated decision support to help achieve faster accurate diagnosis.

  • Over 200 scientific references: 12SL has been validated extensively against clinically-correlated databases for accuracy.2
  •  
  • Improved left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH): Recognition using conventional LVH criteria and identifying which was positive.5, 6
  •  
  • Gender- and pediatric-specific interpretations: 12SL has been shown to provide a 25% relative improvement in detection of Acute Inferior MI in women under 60 years of age.4
  •  
  • Acute Coronary Syndrome Analysis: 12SL ACS tool increases sensitivity for ST-elevated MI and Acute Ischemia in patients suspected of having an acute cardiac event.4
SECURE

We put a premium on your peace of mind

With today’s hyperconnected data environment, you worry about patient privacy and data protection. GE HealthCare’s ECG security architecture included on the MAC 7 is here to bring you peace of mind.

  • Drive facility security: By minimizing the attack surface, securing network connections by only talking to recognized devices, always updating, offering a smarter USB connection and monitoring and recording useful security-related activities (including user logins and network connections) the MAC 7 delivers.
  •  
  • Maintain total control of security updates: Offers constant threat monitoring for developing security enhancements and security design details are included in user and service manuals.
  •  
  • Protect data integrity: All patient data is encrypted and includes username and password authentication, including LDAP.
EASY TO MOVE AND CLEAN
