The Universal ECG ™ is the easy-to-use, smallest and lightest 12-channel ECG from QRS. Connect the Universal ECG to a PC via USB to acquire, store and analyze up to 12-channels of high-resolution ECG data. The Universal ECG interfaces with Office Medic, bringing diagnostic testing right to the point-of-care.
The Universal ECG, in conjunction with Office Medic, offers 8 report options which are transferable to PDF, JPEG or TIFF formats for easy incorporation into any Electronic Medical Record system. Office Medic software also allows the user to add comments and edit the interpretation. It is available in seven languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and Japanese.
The Louvaine analysis program is the interpretation algorithm available with the QRS Universal ECG. The Louvaine analysis program was found to have the best total accuracy when compared to nine popular competing algorithms by cardiologists¹.
