Would you like an easier solution?

LEMR can link your EMR to your diagnostic testing software. See if your EMR is a Supported EMR System on our Wiki. 

Launch AMEDTEC ECGpro

1. Start AMEDTEC ECGpro from the desktop or Start menu.

2. The AMEDTEC ECGpro interface will load. 

3. Select a patient to continue. You may search for an existing patient or create a new patient. 

Search for an existing patient

Type a name in the search field and press the Search button.

Double-click the patient name to open their patient file. 

Example of a patient file 

Proceed to start a test. 

Create a new patient

Click the New Patient button on the left side. 

Enter the patient's details. 

The Patient Number should be a unique number that identifies the patient. If possible, it would be good to use the same patient number used in your EMR system. 

The External Patient Number can be used if you wish to include a patient number that is used by another organisation. 

Patient demographic information is used for the automatic interpretation of the ECG results. For accurate results, enter all of the patient's details. 

Press OK to save the results. The patient file will be shown. 

Proceed to start a test. 

Start a test

Make sure your ECG device is plugged in to your computer.
If using an AMEDTEC Bluetooth ECG, make sure the device is turned on and ready to connect. 
Click here for information about patient cable and USB connection and click here for Bluetooth Pairing information (for Bluetooth enabled Amedtec ECG devices only).

4. Click on Resting 12 to start an ECG test.

5. If the ECG device is properly connected, a patient diagram will be displayed. If you do not see the patient diagram, please follow the directions on-screen to connect your ECG device. 

6. Connect all patient electrode leads to the patient.

Start with the Right Leg electrode (labelled either RL for Right Leg in American AHA or N for European IEC labelling standard) as this is the primary lead for checking signal quality.
The bars under the patient image will show signal quality from each lead – green is best.

If any of the bar graphs appear in yellow (improve if possible) or red (improvement necessary), check electrode contact on that individual lead to improve the connection.
If all leads are showing in yellow or red (in a semi-uniform pattern), it is necessary to check the RL / N electrode for contact issues.
RL / N doesn't have its own bar graph because all leads are affected when there are connectivity issues with the RL / N electrode.

If you are having trouble getting a good reading, please review this ECG electrode troubleshooting guide

7. Click the big Start Auto button. 
This button will be disabled if any leads are not connected properly.

You can also use the red start button to start the test, though you must make sure that the blue bar above the timer has reached the end or there will be no interpretation performed on the ECG. This allows you to monitor the patient prior to saving the last 10 seconds of captured ECG trace.

8. The ECG will automatically complete in 10 seconds, then show the review window. 

Export a PDF

9. Click on Create PDF File to save the report to your computer. 

10. Select a location to save your report. Give the ECG a meaningful name so you can identify it. 

Now that the PDF is saved, you can import the PDF into your medical record system. This process will vary depending on your EMR. 

Complete the test

11. Click on the Save button. It is now okay to close AMEDTEC ECGpro.
