Q-STRESS CARDIACSTRESS TESTING SYSTEM

The Quinton® Q-Stress® has long been associatedwith dependability, accuracy and superiorperformance. Our latest solution continuesto build upon that solid reputation, addingmeaningful innovations to meet the challengesof today’s clinical environment. Whether you’rea single or multi-physician practice, cardiologyoffice or hospital department, there is a Q-Stresssystem to support your testing demands.

Our deep understanding of the stress testenvironment is demonstrated by an exceptionaluser interface that complements the robustperformance of our proven VERITAS™ technology.This distinctive group of algorithms offersexceptional accuracy in real-time ST-segmentmonitoring, arrhythmia detection and restingECG interpretation, delivering critical datathrough each stage of the exam.

To minimize ECG signal artifact, we developedour patented Source Consistency Filter (SCF).This feature offers exceptional trace qualitywhile still preserving a high-clarity ECG signalto assist with accurate clinical assessment.

A Legacy of Clinical ExcellenceMortara brings proven expertise to the forefront of diagnostic cardiac stress testing.

Did you know?Q-Stress can be installed on a server sharing the database with a number ofnetworked Q-Stress workstations, where exams are performed and where authorizedusers can use review stations to schedule exams, review full disclosure exams,enter conclusions and electronically sign results.

Q-STRESS AT A GLANCE:• A 24-inch touchscreen display offers a convenientalternative for data entry. Additionally, pre-defineddrop down menus for protocols, medication listsand diagnoses enable quick and easy data inputwith both touch and non-touch displays.

• Our Wireless Acquisition Module (WAM™) reducesobstacles for clinical personnel as they maneuverabout the stress lab. The WAM eliminates the needfor a tethered cable, helping to enhance both safetyand comfort.

• Real-time full disclosure allows clinicians to examinehistorical ECG data at any point in the exam. Userscan label, store, print, and review significant eventson the fly, and include them in the final report. Fulldisclosure captures all data from the pre-exercisephase of the test to the end of the recovery stage.

• 12-Lead ECG interpretation for adults, adolescentsand children, provides a secondary source for ECGacquisition.

• A bidirectional interface, with network-ready capability using HL7 or DICOM®,improves workflow and may reduce errorsassociated with manual entries. Highlycustomizable final reports can manuallyor automatically export to any destination.

Convenient Touchscreen Interface

We understand the challenges of cardiac stress testing.

Our Solutions Prove It.Acquisition and Documentation:Commonly used test functions arereadily accessible at the touch-of-a-button including 12-lead ECG,averages, rhythm print and more.

Simple Navigation:Intuitive menus lead usersthrough test stages inan organized, left-to-rightworkflow.

Graphic Trends Display:Provides instant visualrepresentation of HR,Mets, BP, and ST changes.

ST Display: Presents an expanded averagecomplex in a superimposed view. It alsodisplays a graphical trend of the ST profileincluding ST changes in all 12 leads.

Flexible ECG Display:Clinicians are a click away fromeasy customization of displayedlead layout, gain, speed, andfilter settings for each patient.

Context View: Provides a singlelead view of the entire test.Identified and stored eventsare highlighted, isolating themfor further evaluation.

Continuous QRS Averages:Twelve averaged ECG complexesare always displayed withsuperimposition of currentand reference data allowingvisibility of ST changes.

Vitals Dashboard: Prominentlydisplays key vital signs such as HR,target HR, manual or automatic BP,SpO2, ST level and slope, for quickvisualization of the patient’s status.

MeaningfulConnectivityExperience the benefits of information sharing.

Our user-centric philosophy of product development has led to a design approach that is sensitive to theneeds of both the clinician and patient. Q-Stress is a customizable, scalable platform offering highly flexibleconfigurations that can be adapted for each application, user and site.

With innovative technologies and a smart design, Q-Stress solves common problems associated with theacquisition and completion of accurate cardiac stress testing exams:

Artifact Reduction – The most prevalent issue in preventing a clean report is poor quality tracingscaused by noise and artifact. Tracings with reduced quality can compromise exam accuracy and maycause underreporting of events. Our unique Source Consistency Filter has been specifically designedto remove noise while maintaining ECG integrity. It accomplishes this without distorting the waveform,a critical factor in accurate diagnosis.

Wireless Data Acquisition - Due to the nature of the cardiac stress test, a diagnostic-quality ECG signalcan be difficult to obtain as patients transition through test stages, particularly during peak exercise.Q-Stress addresses this challenge through the use of our convenient Wireless Acquisition Module. TheWAM eliminates direct connection to the system, which may minimize cable-related artifact and simplifiesmovement between test devices.

Exceptional Visibility - Q-Stress features a high resolution 24-inch touchscreen display. One of the largestin the industry, it provides outstanding visibility and enables efficient system control. This powerful display,when combined with an exceptional user interface, enables a positive and highly productive user experience.

Solution-Driven DesignAddressing challenges through innovation.

Q-Stress supports the ability to save a PDF file to a common folder, plus utilize networked workstationsand review stations to share and access patient data. Electronic scheduling capabilities allow techniciansto monitor and manage workflow tasks continuously and effectively. Clinicians benefit from data sharingacross institutions. For true paperless workflow, final reports, full disclosure data, and all ECG events canbe reviewed and edited electronically.

ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES ENABLE YOU TO:• Reduce cost by eliminating paper.• Minimize manual steps and transcription errors.• Retrieve a stress test worklist that includes patient demographics and order information.• Access and send stress reports within your Healthcare IT system.
