Welcome to the PageWriter TC70 and TC50 cardiographs, a versatile and powerful addition
to your cardiac care patient workflow. The PageWriter TC cardiographs help to simplify
patient cardiac care through easy-to-use 1-2-3 touch screen operation, color-coded signal
quality indicators, and integrated connectivity with the TraceMaster ECG Management
System for one touch patient order download and ECG transmission. The PageWriter TC70
and TC50 cardiographs also support integrated connectivity with an ADT Order Update
system. Powerful clinical features include the Philips DXL ECG Algorithm that provides
comprehensive measurement and interpretive analysis for up to 16 leads, and includes full
pediatric interpretation, enhanced pacemaker pulse detection, lead reversal detection
notification, and the Critical Values feature that provides an alert to caregivers of a silent MI
or other conditions that require immediate treatment, an integral tool for acute care
environments. Other time-sensitive clinical tools include ST Map reports that indicate ST
elevation, along with optional culprit artery identification that locates the probable anatomical
site of a coronary artery occlusion responsible for an ischemia. Support for up to 16 leads
assists in the precise detection of right sided or posterior myocardial injury in adults,
conditions that are difficult to diagnosis or detect in standard 12-lead ECGs. For pediatric
patients, the use of 15 leads provides full information on the electrical activity of the right
ventricle of the heart, crucial information for the accurate diagnosis of pediatric patients.
