Philips PageWriter TC70 cardiograph is designed to simplify diagnostic ECG testing and streamline workflow – where an automated workflow and outstanding clinical support is critical.

Features and Benefits

•  Visual guidance to simplify ECGs
  • With the PageWriter TC70 cardiograph, each button lights in sequence, prompting you to take an ECG as easily as 1-2-3. The high-resolution, 15" touchscreen further streamlines ECGs.
• Automated reporting sequence saves time
  • The high performance PageWriter TC70 cardiograph features an automated ECG report sequence with integrated wireless transfer of ECGs to streamline your workflow.
• Philips DXL ECG Algorithm expands diagnostic capabilities
  • Philips DXL 16-Lead ECG Algorithm provides industry-leading ECG interpretations and a suite of advanced STEMI diagnostic aids to provide an interpretation of rhythm and morphology for a wide variety of patient populations. It includes: Critical Values, ST Maps, and culprit artery identification.
• Lead placement aids accurate placement of leads on the patient
  • The anatomic patient interface module and LeadCheck help support correct lead placement, while the 3-in-1 Trident lead wires reduce tangling.
• Critical Value statements speed the delivery of urgent care
  • When appropriate, the PageWriter TC70 automatically displays Critical Value summary statements boldly on screen and on printed ECG reports so that caregivers can determine the need for urgent care. Clinicians can quickly take action and reduce the time from the discovery of a critical cardiac event to intervention, such as balloon angioplasty.
