1412-Lead ECG Transmission
This chapter provides instructions for the transmission of 12-Lead Reports from the HeartStart MRx
using wireless Bluetooth technology or its RS 232 Serial Port.
Overview
12-Lead reports may be transmitted to printers, fax machines, Philips TraceMaster ECG Management
System or other servers running Philips 12-Lead Transfer Station software. Reports are sent from the
HeartStart MRx to the hub (a web server running Philips 12-Lead Transfer Station software). Using
Bluetooth transmission, they are transmitted to the hub using configured wireless devices such as cell
phones and handheld devices. Using RS 232 Transmission, they are transmitted via a cell phone with
internet capability connected to the MRx’s RS 232 Serial Port. The 12-Lead Transfer Station then
forwards the report to the selected destination site. Additionally, reports can be sent to a wireless
modem connected to an analog line for areas where cell transmission is unavailable. See Figure 67 for
an overview of the transmission process.
