MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS.
Today, the AcQtrac System fulfills the promise of giving physicians pertinent cardiac and hemodynamic information in a signature waveform. The report provides an efficient, at-a-glance visual combined with the numerical data to see a bigger picture of hemodynamic health than ever before. The AcQtrac System uses Cardiac Amplifer™ Technology that is based upon the principle that the human thorax is electrically a nonhomogeneous bulk conductor. Four pre-gelled electrodes separate the current pathway from the sensing pathway.

The AcQtrac System reduces complex technology to its simplest form. By looking at the big picture (12 parameters) the AcQtrac System distills reams of information down to one easy-to-view graphical report. |

The AcQtrac ECG determines heart rate and signals the start of a mechanical event. The waveform shows the aortic valve opening, maximum aortic flow, aortic valve closing, and the mitral valve opening. The WAV (Waveform Accuracy Value) provides added assurance that the data gathered is reliable, and iit also suggests when you may need to resample the measurements.
