'CardioFax' ECG Machine

Accession #:2009132

Description: Cardiofax Automatic Electrocardiograph manufactured by Nihon Kohden. This machine, while still recording the classical ECG channels, was able to automatically undertake the whole test without any user intervention once the electrodes, (limb and chest leads) were in place. Sophisticated electronic filtration, made possible by the advent of semiconductors and integrated circuits, made for much more consistent and 'noise' free recordings, enhancing their diagnostic usefulness. No diagnostic algorithms are included in this machine. Donated to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd by the League of Friends in 1982.
