• Analysis of Artificially–Paced Rhythms – When an

artificial pacemaker stimulus is detected, the Marquette
12SL program will identify the underlying rhythm. And in
conjunction with the CAM HD, GE’s high-definition ECG
acquisition module, the 12SL program is able to identify
a biventricular paced rhythm.

• Acute Coronary Syndrome Tool – The 12SL ACS tool

†††

provides higher-sensitivity analysis for ST-Elevated MI
or Acute Ischemia for patients suspected of having an
acute cardiac event. The tool heavily weighs the finding
of ST elevation with reciprocal ST depression. This is a very
important and highly-specific indicator of STEMI and ACS that
has been found to “identify patients who stand to benefit
most from early interventional strategies.”

A study evaluated

on over 1,900 clinically correlated ECGs from patients
suspected of having ACS showed that the ACS tool:

– Improved the sensitivity of emergency physicians’

interpretation of acute myocardial infarction by 50%
and cardiologists’ interpretations by 26%, with no loss
of specificity

5

– Improved the sensitivity of emergency physicians’

acute ischemic syndrome interpretation by 53% while
maintaining a specificity of 91%

Why use the GE Marquette 12SL
ECG analysis program?

• Meets all applicable standards for computerized

resting ECG analysis

6

, including 15 lead analysis

for pediatric patients.

7

• Automated decision support that has clinical “gold

standard” verified accuracy and is tested against
a large database of ECGs with multiple diseases
and varying degrees of abnormality.

• Suggests additional findings not initially detected

and encourages careful, targeted review of the
ECG tracing.

• Computerized analysis including atrial arrhythmias,

pace detection, and QT measurement.

• Minimizes the time spent over-reading ECGs.

8

• Provides measurements of heart rate, axis, intervals

and durations.

• Pediatric age-driven interpretation criteria.

• Adult gender and age driven interpretation criteria

for acute MI. Utilized in pre-hospital defibrillators to
identify clinically-significant changes and expedite
patient care in time-critical environments.

• Assists with ECG interpretation training assistance.

A pioneer in technology innovation

GE has pioneered the technology and expertise by making
the Marquette 12SL program available throughout a patient’s
entire cardiac experience, from pre-hospital through follow-up.
The Marquette 12SL program operates on a variety of platforms
and currently exists in these areas:

• Pre-hospital environment

• Emergency department

• General hospital departments

• CCU/ICU

• Exercise testing labs

• Clinics

• Physician offices

Advanced Interpretation of Paced Rhythms

Marquette 12SL provides analysis for detecting bi-ventricular
pacemakers, identifying the underlying rhythm, in addition to
the chamber(s) being paced
