Welch Allyn introduces a full-featured electrocardiograph with the convenience of a laptop.

Welch Allyn, a leading manufacturer of frontline medical products and solutions, introduced a full-featured electrocardiograph (ECG) with the convenience of a laptop. In addition to administering patient tests and managing patient information, the Welch Allyn CP 300 electrocardiograph, developed through an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership with Schiller AG, offers single-key operation, a full-color 15” flip-screen display, flexible report formatting and a full-featured stress option.

The Welch Allyn CP 300 is a noninterpretive 12-lead resting ECG with an optional interpretation software package that offers physicians a “second opinion.” It has a full alphanumeric keypad with dedicated function keys for quick access to common functions and a 15” TFT full-color display for easy patient data entry and waveform monitoring. In addition to PC-based hardware that runs on a Windows XP platform, the unit comes equipped with an integrated high-resolution thermal printer that generates standard full-sized reports in customizable formats and an integrated graphical electrode test with “checkpoints” to aid electrode placement and check lead quality. The device also offers 40 GB of storage capacity to manage large volumes of test records.

The CP 300 also offers a full-featured stress option with a complete exercise ECG test system. In addition to full disclosure of all 12 leads, it features dedicated function keys to streamline the testing process. Users can choose from six predefined commonly used stress protocols or use the protocol editor to create their own. The device’s ST measurement reference point can be modified at any time during or after the test to calculate ECG measurements at regular intervals and/or display ST measurements on Average Complex and Tabular views.

The CP 300 is the latest addition to the Welch Allyn suite of cardiopulmonary devices, including:

• CP 50 ECG
• CP 200 ECG
• PC-Based Resting ECG
• PC-Based Exercise Stress ECG
• PC-Based Spirometer
• ABPM
• Holter Systems
