CASE 8000 Cardiac Assessment System for Exercise

General Information

The CASE® 8000 is one of the first, true point-of-care clinical information systems for the exercise environment. By combining the accuracy of our premiere exercise ECG system with the information accessibility of network connectivity, the CASE 8000 offers an advanced, integrated approach to high-efficiency, high-performance stress testing.

Exercise ECG Innovation

The CASE 8000 system builds on GE Medical System's tradition of ECG leadership, introducing new exercise testing capabilities that extend our distinguished history in signal processing, microelectronics and ECG algorithms.

Industry advancements, including our ECG Enhancer-Finite Residual Filter Algorithm for baseline wander/muscle artifact extraction and digital Compact Acquisition Module, help produce crear, more defined ECGs even in the high-noise environment of stress.

With the introduction of the Waterfall Display, the CASE 8000 system brings fast, efficient ST segment assessment to exercise testing.

Also, the combination of multi-lead arrhythmia analysis, ST segment measurements, 12SLTM ECG analysis and the CASE 8000 system's on-line full disclosure record provides the high quality exercise testing that supports accurate diagnosis and prognostic assessment of coronary artery disease.

Network-Enabled Exercise Testing

The CASE 8000 system's network connectivity to the Catalyst MUSE® Cardiology Information System and the hospital information system ensures seamless, point-of-care access to the complete electronic patient record. It puts all cardiology report types, automatic order retrieval and complete ADT information at your immediate disposal. Incorporating this connectivity into the stress device creates inherent operational and cost efficiencies virtually any healthcare network, stress lab or office can benefit from.

Increased Exercise Testing Productivity

What's more, the CASE 8000 system is designed for easy operation with minimal learning curve. An on-line, computer-based tutorial facilitates quick, consistent training. Dedicated stress test keys speed testing. And innovative, embedded reporting tools allow efficient, custom report generation.
