MAC 5500 HD ECG System: ECG accuracy for clinical excellence
The MAC 5500 HD from GE Healthcare is a state-of-the-art electrocardiography system designed for healthcare professionals who demand unmatched analysis quality, enhanced ergonomics and optimal integration into clinical information systems. Developed from decades of innovation in ECG signal acquisition and processing, this electrocardiograph is based on Marquetteâ„¢ 12SLâ„¢ algorithms, recognised worldwide for their diagnostic accuracy.
From the moment it is switched on, the MAC 5500 HD stands out for its ability to perform simultaneous 12- to 15-lead ECGs ( ) with the speed and accuracy required by cardiology departments, emergency rooms and intensive care units. It includes specific tools such as gender-specific interpretation to improve the detection of heart attacks in women, as well as modules for assessing acute coronary syndrome. Its high-definition CAM-HD module reduces artefacts and optimises pacemaker peak detection, improving readability and interpretation even in complex situations.
But what really sets the MAC 5500 HD apart is its connectivity. It can communicate with hospital information systems via Ethernet, modem or Wi-Fi using MobileLinkâ„¢, enabling rapid access to patient data and ECG history and facilitating remote reading. This two-way communication with the MUSEâ„¢ system ensures continuity in medical monitoring and meets recommendations for rapid response in the care of high-risk patients.
Designed for the comfort of healthcare professionals, the MAC 5500 HD offers an intuitive user interface via a 10.4-inch colour screen, a sealed alphanumeric keyboard and an integrated thermal printer. It allows complete customisation of display and report formats, adapting to each practitioner and each establishment. Its compact design with mobile trolley, battery power and digital acquisition modules make it ideal for mobile or shared environments.
The MAC 5500 HD is not just an examination device: it is a true medical decision support tool. It offers serial ECG comparisons, late potential analysis options, and increased measurement accuracy thanks to digital sampling of up to 16,000 signals/second/channel. Combining reliability, accuracy and innovation, it is setting the standard in cardiac diagnosis and monitoring.
