On Choosing the Right EKG Machines
A Bionet EKG Machine Brand Review


As medical studies pointed out that heart disease are so rampant, EKG machines are essential pieces of equipment for medical practitioners. The EKG, or electrocardiogram, machine measures the electrical activity of the heart. Electrical impulses cause the heart muscles to contract, which causes the heart to beat. Pacemakers supply the electrical impulses when your body cannot do it for you naturally.

For hospitals and medical clinics that need to select EKG machines for their facility, below are some features you should evaluate:

One thing to consider is what kind of paper the electrocardiogram machine uses. The classic EKG result is a printed strip, but some EKG machines use standard 8.5” x 11” pieces of paper. Standard paper may be less expensive and is easier to store in a patient’s chart.

Another thing is if you can you enter demographic data on it. Some EKG machines have keyboards that allow you to enter the patient’s name on the report. While that gives a more professional result and makes it easier to make sure the report gets and stays with the right chart, it takes time to key in that personal information. If you may need your machine for emergency use, make sure you can bypass entering that personal data.

Also, you should take note if the EKG machines include a screen so you can see the results before they’re printed. If not, you’ll have to print results to verify that all leads are properly placed. Ideally your screen will show all leads on the screen at once, and give real time results.

And lastly, what kind of computer integration does the EKG machine provide. Ideally you want to be able to download results into any system you already own including electronic medical records. A machine that only works with proprietary software may not communicate as well, and may be more expensive. You also want to be able to evaluate your EKG findings in concert with other diagnostic tests such as stress testing and Holter monitoring.
