According to the company, the PageWriter TC50 can handle up to 16 leads, providing a complete view of the heart. The system is enabled by the DXL 16-lead ECG Algorithm. The DXL Algorithm’s ST Maps provide a graphical representation of ST-elevation in patients, a measure in the diagnosis of ischemia.
