Mortara Instrument Launches
the X-Scribe II
Next generation stress exercise
system provides state of the art wireless capability
MILWAUKEE, WI,
USA
10
September 2002
Mortara Instrument, a world
leader in ECG systems and solutions, announced today the release of
X-Scribe II for US distribution. The
X-Scribe II is Mortara Instrument's latest advance for cardiac stress
exercise solutions and builds upon the company's unique technology
including the patented Source Consistency Filter and the
X-12 wireless patient cable.
Linda Carota, Director of Cardiology Products for Mortara Instrument
commented, “Over a decade ago Mortara Instrument introduced the world to
the first PC-based color stress exercise system, the X-Scribe. The
vision of using commercial PC technologies to maximize performance and
value for our customers is continued with the X-Scribe II, which
utilizes today’s PC technology and the Windows operating system to
provide both high performance and flexibility. Combined with Mortara’s
unique wireless technology and advanced filters, the X-Scribe II
represents the state of the art for stress exercise testing. The
X-Scribe II’s advanced set of standard options and the ease of
configuration allow it to meet a broad range of needs from those in the
physician office and clinic to the requirements of high volume hospital
stress exercise laboratories including stress-echo and nuclear stress
applications.”
With the X-12 wireless patient cable, stress exercise testing with the
X-Scribe II enjoys a new acquisition paradigm. The conventional, bulky
patient cable of the past is replaced with the compact and lightweight
X-12 transmitter. The X-12 provides wireless freedom of movement for the
patient and clinician during the stress exercise examination as well as
for multi-modality studies such as stress-echo or nuclear examinations.
The lightweight X-12 also reduces strain on electrodes and eliminates
artifact due to traditional cable movement resulting in cleaner, high
quality tracings.
Maximizing the advantages of the Windows interface, the X-Scribe II
provides for numerous flexible configurations of screen displays,
protocols, print formats and report handling. The enhanced user
interface provides for multi-lead views, event captures, trends as well
as the enlarged reference complex to highlight ischemic changes during
exercise. In addition to the standard thermal writer, an optional laser
printer output is also available. The laser printer option provides an
economic alternative to the thermal writer technology through greatly
reduced paper costs and the use of standard, of-the-shelf, printer
solutions.
The X-Scribe II also features full disclosure review and storage as well
as rhythm events review as standard options. Final reports can be
exported to Abobe Acrobat PDF files for easy transport of data to a
non-proprietary viewing platform. Regarding the final report
capabilities of the system, Maurizio Fumagalli, V.P. Engineering for
Mortara Instrument noted, "The Windows operating system platform has
afforded us an opportunity to present our users with a very intuitive
user interface that is simple to learn, but also configurable to reflect
individual clinician preferences. The X-Scribe II is a worthy successor
to the X-Scribe product. We have taken the best of the predecessor
product and extended its usability and flexibility to best meet our
customers needs."
