Cardiac Stress System Product Detail
Model: Q Stress

A Legacy of Clinical Excellence in Cardiac Stress Testing
Through innovative technologies and a smart design, Q-Stress solves common challenges associated with the successful acquisition and interpretation of cardiac stress testing exams. Q-Stress delivers an innovative and meaningful approach to support today's stress testing demands. A few of its most notable features include an impressive 24-inch touchscreen interface with protocol-driven, pre-defined selections, 12-lead ECG interpretation for adults, adolescents, and children and standards-based HL7 and DICOM bidirectional connectivity for optimized interoperability. With a legacy of excellence, Q-Stress delivers all of this and more in a smart, user and patient-focused solution.

KEY PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES:

A unique approach to clinical data: Q-Stress is designed to provide comprehensive clinical information to meet the ever-changing demands of today's diverse patient population.
A solution-driven design to enhance clinical workflow: Designed by clinicians for clinicians, the powerful user interface, paired with our 24-inch color touchscreen display, works with you as you care for your patients.
A connectivity option that’s right for you: From simple connectivity to complete interoperability, Q-Stress offers a variety of integration solutions.
Robust network connectivity – DICOM or HL7 connects with virtually everything needed for enhanced workflow. It's compatible with your echo system, nuclear camera, EMR, HIS, PACs and other healthcare IT systems; e.g., GE MUSE.
Full disclosure reports; allows you to save the whole exam and review it at any time by exporting to your electronic medical record (EMR) system or hospital information system (HIS).
In-test review of stress testing data that includes "rewind" and "freeze frame" capabilities (both industry firsts) while still viewing the live test.
Ectopic capture and display for heartbeats outside the sinoatrial node.
Fully customizable panel display, plus the flexibility to add your own user-defined protocols.
Risk scoring, procedural re-analysis, and extensive report formatting options.
Warranty: 13-Month parts and labor.


Benefits

Connectivity. Bi-directional communications using HL7 or DICOM enables the import of demographics, billing and procedures codes to Q-Stress. Export comprehensive test reports to help minimize documentation errors and lost billings.
Ease of use. The system’s Microsoft Windows compatibility (Vista or XP), left-to-right flow, and intuitive controls guide users through the procedure.
Accuracy. Tracings are accurate and clear, with clean waveforms even at high speeds and steep grades.
Instant replay. The Freeze Frame option allows you to "rewind" and view any section of any lead during the test.
Full disclosure. With the full disclosure option, you can save the entire cardiac stress test as a PDF and store it to your electronic records repository.
Easy analysis. Built-in analysis tools allow modifications for new patient data or for physiologic changes – resting cardiac data remains constant for comparison.
Customizable. You decide how you want your patient's cardiac test data presented. Create custom reports based on physician's preference. Easy reporting. QuikLists enable fast, efficient preparation of your reports.


Q-Stress brings key pioneering capabilities to the forefront of cardiac stress testing:

Mortara’s proven VERITAS™ technology offers exceptional accuracy in real-time ST-segment monitoring, arrhythmia detection and resting ECG interpretation, delivering critical data through each stage of the stress test.
To minimize ECG signal artifact, Q-Stress includes our Source Consistency Filter (SCF). Specifically designed to remove noise while maintaining ECG integrity, SCF accomplishes this without distorting the waveform, a critical factor in accurate clinical assessment.
Comprehensive, real–time full disclosure allows clinicians to examine historical ECG data at any point throughout the exam. Users can easily label, store, print, and review significant events on the fly, plus include them in the final report.
Our Wireless Acquisition Module (WAM™) eliminates direct connection to the system which reduces obstacles for clinical personnel maneuvering about the stress lab. WAM benefits the patient as well by reducing cable-related artifact and simplifying movement between test devices.
