Philips PageWriter TC70 EKG

The Philips PageWriter TC70 is a cardiograph that simplifies diagnostic ECG/EKG testing and streamlines workflow. It features a 15-inch touchscreen, illuminated buttons, and color-coded signal quality indicators. The Philips TC70 automates workflow by acquiring, printing, saving, transferring, and retrieving ECG/EKG data through wired and wireless connectivity.

• Easy 1-2-3 operation with 15-inch touchscreen.
• Automated workflow with one button push viva XML, HL7, and native industry-standard DICOM.
• Clinical decision support with exceptional 18-lead DXL Algorithm.
• The TC70 automatically displays Critical Value summary statements boldly on screen and printed ECG reports so caregivers can determine the need for urgent care.
