GE Healthcare CASE - Manual (Page 3)

Advanced clinical capabilities.
The CASE system puts the proven quality of GE Marquette * diagnostic tools in your
hands for the decision support you need to make fast, confident assessments of
cardiac risk. The CASE system enables clinical excellence with outstanding data
quality and accuracy in an easy-to-use system.
Diagnostic support:
• Exercise Test Interpretation (XTI) statements highlight critical values in stress
testing for advanced analysis of risk prediction, functional response and
ischemia. This unique algorithm provides clinicians with additional insights
to make better treatment decisions.
• The new ST/HR hysteresis analysis feature enables increased accuracy 1
in detecting coronary artery disease in women and adds confidence in
identifying the most appropriate treatment.
• With the seamless integration of SunTech ® Tango+ ® , blood pressure and
SpO
2
are automatically recorded in CASE during a patient’s stress test.
• Full-disclosure data enables review and re-analysis of every beat and
arrhythmia for enhanced clinical confidence.
• The proven Marquette 12SL ECG analysis and 15-lead stress testing are
available for increased result accuracy, for confident clinical decisions.
• Risk-predicting algorithms, including Duke Treadmill Score, the patented
T-wave Alternans (MMA) and Heart Rate Recovery, assist you in predicting
patients at risk of sudden cardiac death.
ECG signal quality: CASE supports data quality with algorithms that support the
clearest, most accurate test results, such as cubic spline correction and Finite
Residual Filtering (FRF).

Scalable IT solutions.
The CASE system is based on an IT platform that pairs
enhanced networking and seamless connectivity with data
security for advanced productivity you can trust. The CASE
system delivers highly scalable solutions to meet virtually any
facility’s unique performance and productivity requirements.
• Single, network or Enterprise options: Whatever the
size of your facility, CASE can be configured to maximize
productivity and simplify workflow based on your facility’s
IT and clinical needs.
• CASE networking: Connect your CASE system to a LAN
for connectivity solutions that improve productivity. Add
CardioSoft* client software to a PC to create a remote
workstation for viewing, editing and printing stress data
— reserving your CASE system for testing.
Open system architecture: GE Healthcare uses industry-
standard communication protocols, including HL7
® , DICOM ® ,
XML and TCP/IP.
• The DICOM Modality Worklist supports bi-directional data
exchange and simultaneous review of imaging and ECG
data, to improve dual modality procedure efficiency.
• The Web view feature allows Internet access to
procedure reports from anywhere, with access privileges
controlled by your IT department for data security.
• Easily connected PC client workstations increase
efficiency in report editing and confirmation. Client
workstations can be added as your needs grow to
support access to multiple CASE systems.
Security and compliance: CASE protects your data and
system with multi-level password login configurations.
Export flexibility: Send data easily by exporting via PDF,
Microsoft
® Word, Excel or XML. The PDF file name can be
automatically generated based on patient demographic
data, ensuring an accurate match to patient EMR or HIS files.
Support services: GE Healthcare technical support experts
are ready to provide installation, system configuration, HL7
integration, upgrade services and remote support, including
24/7 availability.
