The SynChron™ Wireless Vector Gating System for CT is a product used to acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) data from a patient and to generate and supply ECG waveform and triggering pulses to the CT scanner to aid in cardiac scanning. The SynChron™ Wireless Vector Gating System for CT includes a Physiologic Acquisition Module (PAM) that connects to the patient using ECG lead wires (Figure 2-2), acquires ECG data, processes the ECG data, and wirelessly transmits the data to the Receive Interface Module (RIM). The RIM will wirelessly receive data from the PAM, create analog ECG waveform and trigger pulse mark, and interfaces with the scanner. The ECG waveform and trigger marks can be seen on the scanner console.
A device intended to be used by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting to record the electrical activity of the heart and display it in the form of a graph, to assist a physician in assessing electrical cardiac physiology [electrocardiography (ECG)]. It is designed to record the electrical signal from two or more configurations of electrodes (ECG-leads) at a time (multichannel). It may be intended for use while the patient is at rest (rest ECG) and/or during physical exercise (stress/exercise ECG), and may include a variety of additional features [e.g., interpretive software, data telemetry, display screen]; electrodes may be included.
