Electrocardiograph MAC 1200 ST - Fair

 MAC® 1200 ST - Digital 12-Lead Electrocardiograph System 

The MAC® 1200 ST by General Electric is an advanced digital 12-lead electrocardiograph system that provides comprehensive ECG solutions for hospitals, clinics, office-based practices, and clinical trials. This versatile device offers an array of operating modes, including automatic, manual, arrhythmia monitoring, and optional stress testing, allowing healthcare professionals to perform a wide range of cardiac assessments with ease and accuracy.

Equipped with Marquette® 12SL™ ECG analysis software, the MAC 1200 ST delivers highly accurate computer-interpreted ECG analysis for both adult and pediatric populations. This program, validated against the clinical gold standards, ensures precision and reliability, offering a dependable second opinion. Additionally, the inclusion of gender-specific algorithms improves diagnostic sensitivity, particularly for detecting acute myocardial infarctions (MIs) in women.

The system’s seamless connectivity to MUSE® and CardioSoft cardiology information systems ensures that clinicians can easily store, transmit, and access ECG data anytime, anywhere. The MAC 1200 ST supports digital data storage, protecting against the risks of data loss typically associated with analog formats. This connectivity also allows cart-to-cart communication, enabling immediate transmission of electrocardiograms between GE devices, expediting diagnosis and enhancing clinical decision-making.

The MAC 1200 ST's user-friendly design ensures that healthcare providers can acquire, analyze, store, and print ECG data with minimal training. Its intuitive one-touch operation significantly reduces learning curves, allowing practitioners to focus on patient care. The device also features a large LCD display, which provides clear visualization of ECG waveforms and system information. The inclusion of four user-definable fields for patient data entry adds flexibility and customization to meet specific clinical needs.

Portability is another key feature of the MAC 1200 ST. Weighing just 12.3 lbs (5.6 kg) with its battery, and equipped with a convenient carry handle, the system can be easily transported between departments or taken on the road. The unit’s full-size paper accommodates multiple report formats, ensuring efficient and clear documentation. Optional archivist paper is also available for long-term storage of ECG records.

The MAC 1200 ST offers an optional stress test module, which includes advanced ST-measurements across 12 channels, diverse stress testing protocols, and automatic control of various bicycle ergometers and treadmills. With these capabilities, clinicians can configure individualized test parameters and generate comprehensive reports that enhance the diagnostic process.

The true cost of ownership of the MAC 1200 ST is minimized through its reliable construction and modular leadwire assembly. GE’s Multi-Link Leadwires and a variety of electrode adapters ensure that the system remains adaptable to various clinical environments. Field-upgradeable software and hardware further enhance the longevity of the device, ensuring that healthcare organizations can maintain their investment with minimal downtime and fewer replacement costs.
