A 12-Channel ECG (Electrocardiogram) machine is a medical device used to record the electrical activity of the heart from 12 different leads simultaneously. It provides a comprehensive view of the heart's function and rhythm, aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks (myocardial infarctions), and other heart disorders.
These machines typically print or display all 12 waveforms on a single page or screen, making interpretation faster and more efficient for clinicians. Features often include automatic measurement, interpretation software, data storage, and connectivity options for hospital information systems.
