Holter systems are complex tools that cover a wide range of diagnostic tests. A necessary addition to patient testing, many factors should be considered when selecting a holter system that matches your specific needs.
With technology constantly improving, it is important to stay on top of the latest trends and breakthroughs. Medical equipment like holter systems are no exception with the use of electronic data assisting in providing more accurate and detailed measurements. Davis Medical Electronics offers the following tips on purchasing a Holter System that is not only functionable, but covers the specific needs of your medical practice.
1. Scanners should provide a time and heart-rate display, full disclosure, and pacemaker analysis.
2. These units should be reading recordings at 60-240 times the recording speed.
3. Facilities should consider and select the data archiving methods that they will need for their specific tests.
4. To receive transferred data from the recorder, a real-time scanner should have an electronic interface.
5. For all types of beats - regardless of whether it is a normal, ventricular, and/or supraventricular beat - the reports should indicate total beats and a beat per hour.
6. The following are required features: an arrhythmia detection indicator, ST segment analysis capability, trend graphs for the R.R interval, ST segment deviation, and ventricular beats.
7. The following data should appear on the patient's strip for the most detailed and necessary results: the time, patient identification, heart rate, and arrhythmias; full disclosure must be expanded on the strip.
