Acquiring ECG Reports

Acquiring and printing ECG reports with an Eclipse Premier is quite simple. Once the
patient is hooked up to the Eclipse Premier, an ECG can be acquired at any time by
pressing the button.
It is a good idea to enter patient demographic information before performing tests.
However, patient demographic information also may be entered after the tests have
been completed.
NOTE: Some patient information directly affects ECG analysis.
Your patient's physician uses this information when interpreting ECG
reports. Likewise, interpretive Eclipse Premier units provide more
accurate and complete analysis statements when you enter patient
information thoroughly. This information must be entered prior to
acquiring the ECG in order to affect the interpretation.
Sometimes it will be necessary to take an ECG and there will not be time to enter any
patient demographic information. If no patient ID is entered, Then Eclipse Premier
units with storage will print "#STAT#" in the Patient ID field, followed by the date and
time.
