Specifications

EP-TRACER is the electrophysiological measurement system with a fully-integrated stimulator. The EP-TRACER 2* with fully-integrated stimulator can be used for both clinical and experimental EP studies. A single device and a standard protocol allows investigations to be carried out in any laboratory.

EP-TRACER comes in 3 different configurations: Portable, ProCart (These configurations are mobile and compact - easy to move from one lab to another and can significantly increase efficiency of hospitals) and Stationary (fixed set-up, with remote desktop kit and zero footprint in the lab). The system can also be connected to a high resolution monitor and a laser printer to facilitate operation in a hospital environment.

Features

Amplifier

EP-TRACER 2 amplifiers offer the connection of either 20, 52 or 84 intracardiac channels. All amplifier models allow connection of 12 surface ECG channels and 6 auxiliary channels which, for example, can be used for the measurement of invasive blood pressure.

Integrated Stimulator

The EP-TRACER 2 is equipped with a built-in 2-channel stimulator. The software allows stimulation on any intracardiac channel with the click of the mouse, without further external wiring or equipment. Stimulation protocols are easily customized and accessed, thus further streamlining the procedural workflow.

Software

The EP-TRACER 2 software provides an intuitive interface that supports your requirements at every stage of the procedure. Special display modes, such as triggered mode, pressure mode and multiple user-configurable split-screen modes provide the perfect framework to display data from multiple sources. For example, surface and intracardiac ECG signals, invasive blood pressure, as well ablation data (PFA - RF - and cryo-ablators supported) can all be displayed within your customized layout. One-touch commands to start/stop stimulation, decrement interval time, load a saved stimulation protocol, save events, add comments etc., allows for the seamless operation of the EP-TRACER within your preferred workflow. All events are time-stamped and added to the user-customizable procedure log to facilitate reporting and later review from anywhere in the hospital network using our specialized review software.
