The WhaleTeq ECG test systems have been employed by many offices of major agencies such as UL, TUV SUD, TUV Rhineland, SGS, ITS and CSA, and have often been used to support IECEE CB scheme accreditation for ECG standards. Several agencies have performed their own verification of the system in addition to our own validation. There is no formal accreditation or approval required for this kind of device.
As with any test and measurement system, validation is generally considered the responsibility of manufacturer. A report for validation can be provided on request. Due to the complexity of the system, it is not recommended that complete validation is attempted by receiving laboratories. Although it is understood some users may wish to re-confirm certain aspects of the system, in which case the WhaleTeq validation report can be used as a template.
The recommended calibration interval is the standard 12 months. WhaleTeq had developed the calibration assistant software considering the complexity of the process. If you have any requirements for calibration, please contact WhaleTeq (service@whaleteq.com | +886225176255) for detailed information.
Due to the use of an internal battery, the DC offset of CMRR 3.0+ is recommended to be checked before use. Otherwise, there are no parts or components with any concerns for drift in accuracy or performance. For equipment used infrequently, calibration before use may be considered.
Yes, WhaleTeq ECG test systems can be used in production line as well according to customer's test needs. WhaleTeq also provides the Software Development Kit (SDK) for SECG 5.0 AIO, SECG 4.0, MECG 2.0 and CMRR 3.0+. This allows customers to design their own test procedures and user interfaces in different testing environment or for different design / quality / production phases.
SECG 4.0, MECG 2.0 and CMRR 3.0+ can be controlled by PC software via USB connection. Test waveforms are streamed real time from the PC to the USB module and converted to analogue voltages. In addition, SECG 5.0 AIO and CMRR 3.0+ offers stand-alone operation mode. User can easily conduct the test via the touch panel.
Meanwhile, WhaleTeq ECG test systems can be controlled by SDK (Software Development Kit). User can develop customized or automated software for improving the test efficiency.
Before use the PC software operation mode of SECG 4.0, SECG 5.0 AIO, MECG 2.0 and CMRR 3.0+, please download PC software from WhaleTeq website and complete the installation. Connect the USB module of the test system to any USB socket of the PC and run the WhaleTeq software. Connect the ECG under test to the terminals provided on WhaleTeq tester. Follow grounding procedures to minimize noise if required.
WhaleTeq tester is equipped with terminal sockets compatible with most ECG systems. By using the standard accessory named compound terminals, user can easily connect the lead wires of DUT to WhaleTeq tester.
Yes, it does.
As a minimum, SECG 5.0 AIO and CMRR 3.0+ are required.
SECG 5.0 AIO and CMRR 3.0+ are required if the patient monitor does not claim a diagnostic function.
