In a much-anticipated release, Mortara Instrument released their new ELI 350 electrocardiograph. Much anticipated in the sense that it is the newest in a line of DICOM-ready carts that Mortara has produced and looks to be a strong contender in the diagnostic ECG space. Sporting the largest, most high resolution screen on the market, the units affordable price tag will certainly get noticed as well as hospitals budgets have less room for devices that dont produce a lot of revenue, especially those devices which are just warmed-up versions of previous models.
With a unique integrated wireless module, the unit can communicate with virtually any wireless network natively. The 17 display is high-resolution, yet durable and looks to be the brightest on the market. At the heart of the machine is the Mortara Veritas measurement algorithm, which is the same algorithm that the FDA uses to benchmark cardiac drug studies, that, amidst all of the hype of algorithm variants such as gender specificity from other manufacturers, sports some of the highest sensitivity/specificity statistics for infarct detection. The capability to send to DICOM systems such as Cerner CV Net, and more importantly, the ability to receive orders via Modality Worklist or HL7 makes the ELI 350 truly a unique specimen.
Mortara also unveiled the new ELI10 handheld ECG device which will be the first handheld acquisition device with DICOM output and ECG database integration. WIth integrated wireless networking, it has the unique ability to print unconfirmed reports at proximal defined laser printers based upon the location selected (ICU, ER, etc), that is if a printed page is required. Interestingly almost all of the existing ECG databases, MUSE, Tracemaster, Pyramis, etc. print all of the ECGs in a pile which are then dumped in the trash as the report is transcribed for the physician. This equates to several cases of paper each month that are basically tossed in the trash. The ELI 10 is truly a paradigm-changer in this regard allowing an EKG tech to travel from patient to patient quickly and comfortably to acquire ECGs and store directly to the patient record. Isnt this what weve all been demanding for all of these years?
