I use the CardioCard, by Nasiff Associates. Excellent support and service. www.nasiff.com.  They are avail from several different vendors. I had previously tried a name brand device (can't recall which one, but they had a direct interface with AC). I could not get it to work with my Vista64 machine. Turns out the solution, which Roger Nasiff helped me with, probably would have worked for the name brand device also, but only Roger figured out the problem. The price for the Cardiocard was also less than the name brand device. Basically I run the EKG, save to PDF, and import to AC. Hope that helps. Steve Herch, Ashland, OR

Steve, I know someone with the CardioCard. We have used it.  When it was purchased, they were told they could save the files as a PDF so it could be imported into AC, but tech support from whoever (whomever??) they bought it from couldn't tell them how. We also had a bear of a time installing the software.
 But to my question, how do you save its files to PDF? Is there a menu option? I couldn't find it, but maybe I overlooked something obvious. Of course, if the seller can't tell you there may be a problem.  I'd like to tell Mike (he doesn't come onthe boards) so he can put his files into his patient charts.
 
 This happened to be one reasons we went with the Midmark, which does cost more but works great. 'Course, we don't have a Vista machine (yet).
