World’s most compact 12-lead ECG

For professional use, PCA 500 can be used in a variety of clinical settings. In clinics and urgent care centers, the time saved during electrode placement and the paperless, centralized ECG management will enhance efficiency and streamline workflow. In telemedicine and remote care practice, PCA 500 enables lay people (patients) and lower-skilled personnel to conduct a 12-lead ECG test. Through our secure cloud, providers can review the results remotely. In skilled nursing facilities, adding PCA 500 can allow in-house ECG testing that saves time, money and personnel needs. PCA 500 can be used by patients based on a doctor’s prescription. Patients with intermittent arrhythmias, chronic heart failure, or those who just had a coronary bypass, stents or ablation procedures may benefit from home cardiac monitoring. The doctor can decide if PCA 500 monitoring, under a doctor's supervision, is right for the patient.

This video offers your patients step by step instructions. They can also download and print the PCA 500 Quick Guide.

When the mobile device (phone or tablet) has a good internet connection, the recorded ECGs are instantly uploaded to the cloud. You can use a web browser on any internet-connected computer or mobile device to log into your account on the Dashboard to download the reports. Results can also be downloaded directly from the QT ECG. Please visit the QT Cloud USER’S MANUAL for further details.

Yes. PCA 500 was compared directly to the Philips Pagewriter TC70 in a clinical trial to test for ECG quality equivalence. ECG equivalence, determined by 3 cardiologists, was higher than the equivalency level required by the FDA. Essentially, PCA 500 produces ECGs of the same diagnostic quality as ECG systems that are much larger and use the complicated electrode patches and cables.

Due to our proprietary adapter, PCA 500 is only compatible with the PCA 500 Electrode Strips. Likewise, the PCA 500 Electrode Strips are only compatible with the PCA 500 Recorder.

For Androids only: In situations where internet connection is not available, recorded ECGs will be saved locally on mobile devices (up to 100 recordings). The locally stored ECGs will be uploaded automatically when the mobile device is connected to the internet.

PCA 500 is not a continuous heart monitor. It is an on-demand resting 12-lead ECG that provides a 10-second snapshot each time you press the “Record” button.

The QT Dashboard is optimized for Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox. The dashboard is not compatible with Internet Explorer. Please note that ECGs can only be recorded through the QT ECG app on a compatible tablet or smartphone.

Thanks to our patented prepositioned electrode strip, no training is required to complete an ECG with PCA 500. Simply follow the step by step instructions in the Quick Guide, or view video instructions, to accurately and efficiently record a 12-lead ECG.

PCA 500 Electrode Strips come in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) for adults and three sizes (1, 2, 3) for pediatrics. The Sizing Guide is used to easily determine the correct size for each patient. Please refer to How to Use the Sizing Guide for more detailed information.

Yes. To help prevent disease transmission and ensure the best ECG signal quality, PCA 500 Electrode Strips are one-time use. After application to a patient, the electrode strips may be repositioned and remain on the same patient. The hydrogel will begin to dry out and the quality of ECG signals cannot be guaranteed once the electrode package is open for more than 24 hours.

Yes. PCA 500 is able to detect when there is a pacemaker present and it will not affect the quality of the ECG test. PCA 500 does not interfere with the function of a pacemaker.

It should be gently cleaned before every use with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm soapy water or natural cleanser.

To clean the recorder, dampen a soft cloth with lukewarm soapy water or natural cleanser and gently wipe down the recorder.　The recorder should not be immersed in water under any circumstances.

Yes. The following are not recommended during the use of PCA 500: Magnetic Field(s): Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); MRI Technician; any job where the patient may be exposed to a large magnetic field.

No, the PCA 500 electrode strip and recorder should be removed if the patient requires defibrillation. For more information on defibrillation-proof products, please contact customer support.

If you are clicking the connect button on the QT ECG app, but are unable to connect PCA 500, please ensure that PCA is turned on by holding the button on the side of the device down until the front lights turn on. Please also ensure that your mobile device’s Bluetooth is turned on.

The use of PCA 500 in a clinic setting can be billed as a 12-lead ECG test under CPT 93000. Billing in other areas differs on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the sales team for more information.
