MARSŪ CRS Clinical Review Station General Information
The MARS Clinical Review Station acquires multi-patient cardiac, hemodynamic and
pulmonary data for Full Disclosure review and Holter analysis. The system uses the
Marquette Unity Network to acquire up to 4 channels/patient of multi-lead ECG and blood
pressure waveform data depending on whether the patient is being monitored by Marquette's
CD Telemetry-LAN system, Eagle monitor or TRAM monitoring systems. The system also has the
capability of transmitting the patient's data to a MARS 8000 located in the Heart Station
or Holter Lab for a full Holter analysis and report.
Using a Sun Microsystems workstation running the UNIX operating system, the MARS
Clinical Review Station operates in a true networked, multi-tasking environment with
superb graphics capability. The system can simultaneously acquire data for multiple new
patients, display data for an existing patient and print a Full Disclosure report on yet
another patient. The system will store leads II, V, ART and PA from patients using either
Tramscope or Eagle monitors and leads I, II, III and V from CD Telemetry-LAN system
monitored patients.
The display screens and report formats are user configurable and are designed for ease
of use. Reports can be generated on demand or automatically. The patient data may be
displayed in strip, page and event modes or in combinations of these 3 formats. All events
are labeled by their alarm classification using the monitor's user defined limits. Data
may be archived on an optional 5 GByte tape drive (available second quarter 1995).
Software updates are accomplished with a 644 MByte CD ROM unit or ISDN modem. |
