PCM MIDMARK ECG ACQUISITION MODULE As of PCM 5.5.967 to be used with Midmark Controls.msi This interface supports the following 3 products:

• Midmark IQMark digital ECG

• Midmark IQMark digital Spirometer

• Midmark IQMark digital Holter

Midmark Controls.msi set up must be installed prior to using

The interface can be used on PCM full networked client or PCM TS Client

Note: As of PCM Ver. 5.5.734 this is also supported while using RDP (Remote Desktop

Connection) on the server as it may be useful for opening raw Holter files from the

server for review. It may be highly unlikely that ECG machine is hooked up to a USB on

the server; this was mainly done for the ability to open the module for Holter viewing on

the server

As of PCM Ver. 5.5.734 a calibration utility for Spirometry was added, the button is just

below the Spirometer button

4. These reports will be sent to the responsible provider’s mailbox upon being

generated 5. Signing- Since these reports are not text or scan type documents, they are

considered electronically signed at the time the signor (responsible provider removes from mailbox). If an actual signature is required; the report must be printed, signed and scanned back in, then faxed.

6. Convert to Tif option- Use the right click Convert to Tif option to create a tif copy of the holter, ecg, or spiro reports.

7. Note on Printing- These will only print to the computer's default printer, cannot set this to print to the document printer. Also due to this limitation from Midmark, you cannot email or fax these reports as this will cause errors and will have to print to paper instead.

8. Printing Holters, please note that these files may be up to 23 pages long. To edit the setting for printing the reports, click on the Holter button, then Settings and check off the Report option you like, if all options are checked the reports will be long and printing may take a while.

Note on file sizes: the storage of raw .ecg files had not been done before because these

files are large, i.e. 24 hour reports can be 30 MB in size for example, and stored as zip

files around 8 MB

Note for TS Client users: After making changes, there will be a relatively long wait

while transferring the raw file back to the server if the user is in a remote location with

poor internet upload speed, the speed will be faster if this is done locally and not TS

Client.

Note that during the process of transfer unfortunately there is not an easy way to show

the progress; therefore the user has to be patient for the Analyzer screen to close.
