Home Forums Discussions General Discussion What EKG to buy?

I would be glad for some input. I was about to buy both a new EKG and a new spirometer and as I research which to buy I am less and less convinced. The "digital" ones I am looking at don't seem to gather any "granular" data, and therefore only seem to have the benefit of eliminating paper forms, but will require a dedicated laptop and don't really have any cart. Worse, they are much MORE expensive than decent "old" machines.

Who has digital devices and are they working well? and for how low, and how expensive? Also anyone else who opted to step backwards with a new purchase of old technology, (now being discounted!)

Thanks in advance.

We have the Midmarks and they work easily, quickly and great. Some choose not to interface it with AC (Hi Hockeyref) but it has an easy to use software system anyway. Works great either way. You don't need a dedicated laptop for it...you just need a laptop available with the software install. Or just a PC in the exam room (in proximity to the exam table of course.)

I use a NDD Easy One spirometer which requires a computer to print - it does not have interface with AC, but if more people sent request it might get accomplished.

I use an old EKG - hard to really pay for an EKG machine with in office EKG's and the data is not "granular" as you say. A doctor in our town had retired and he gave me an old, but very servicable EKG.
