System Description
The CP 20 is a 12-lead diagnostic electrocardiograph capable of viewing, acquiring, printing, and storing ECG data.
The CP 20 is optionally equipped with Mortara’s VERITAS 12-lead resting interpretation algorithm. If this option
is enabled, the VERITAS ECG algorithm can provide an over reading physician with a silent second opinion
through diagnostic statements output on the ECG report. For additional information on the Mortara VERITAS
resting interpretation algorithm, please refer to the Physician’s Guide to ECG Interpretation.
Multiple print formats are supported including: 3+1R, six, 3+3R, 6+6 and twelve channels in automatic mode, and
six or twelve channels during rhythm recording. The CP 20 can operate on battery or line power.
