DXL 16-Lead ECG Algorithm

ECG algorithm
Philips DXL ECG Algorithm uses sophisticated analytical methods to interpret the resting ECG. It analyzes up to 16-leads of simultaneously acquired ECG waveforms to interpret rhythm and morphology for a variety of patient populations.

Features
16-Lead integrated analysis supports variety of patients
The Philips DXL ECG Algorithm goes beyond traditional 12-lead interpretation of the resting ECG. It also provides incremental diagnostic capabilities not associated with analysis programs of the past. 16-lead integrated analysis takes advantage of optional right chest and back electrodes to provide extended interpretations for adult chest pain. A 15-lead pediatric analysis is also supported.
ST Maps visualize deviatons
ST Maps provide a visual representation of ST deviations in frontal and horizontal planes, responding to the 2009 AHA/ACCF/HRS Recommendations.*
Updated critera based on latest clinical research
The DXL 16-Lead Algorithm includes updated criteria based upon the most recent clinical research. Examples include the addition of “acute global ischemia” and incorporation of updated gender-specific STEMI criteria, as documented in the 2009 AHA/ACCF/HRS Recommendations.*
