As a minimum, SECG 5.0 AIO and CMRR 3.0+ are required; for database testing, MECG 2.0 and RDCA database comparison software would be recommended for system validation in analog method.
The WhaleTeq ECG test systems provide the required signals and circuits, but the operator must record, measure and interpret the results on the equipment under test. WhaleTeq also provides Assistant software is to help user to determine compliance in an effective way.
The sample rate of SECG 5.0 AIO is 10kHz ± 0.05% while SECG 4.0 is 5kHz ± 0.1%. MECG 2.0 provides a variable sample rate depending on the source, with a maximum of 1kHz.
MECG 2.0 (2020) is designed with 16-bit resolution making it capable to cover the precise voltages in small ST segments while at the same time covering the large voltages in the NST database.
Yes, in general EC57 can be tested with the MECG 2.0, provided that the database remains within +/-5mV range.
Yes, the CSE and AHA databases are protected data and need to be purchased directly from the owners.
Yes, any waveform can be streamed from both the SECG 5.0 AIO and the MECG 2.0. The MECG 2.0 is designed for multichannel simulation, and also high accuracy at the very low voltage region associated with ST segments. The MECG 2.0 software is also designed to interface directly with the Physio Net databases which include many test waveforms. After downloading the databases, MECG 2.0 software can also select the source labels and assign to MECG leads to output analog database signals.
