Interpretive Analysis Program
About the program
The Eclipse is available with an interpretive analysis program. This program is
widely respected as one of the most accurate available today. It was developed
by Prof. Peter MacFarlane of the Glasgow Royal InÞrmary who has been
involved in computerized ECG interpretation since its inception in the 1960s.
The ECG Interpretation Criteria PhysicianÕs Guide is included with the
Operating Instructions. This guide outlines the criteria used by the analysis
program.

DEVELOPED IN A HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT
The interpretive program was developed in the University
Department of Medical Cardiology in the Glasgow Royal InÞrmary.
Unlike many products which are developed with the aid of outside
consultants, this program was developed in the environment for
which it is intended.
USES AGE, SEX AND RACE DATA EXTENSIVELY
More than 500 measurements, plus the patientÕs age, sex, race,
clinical classiÞcation and medications are factored into each
analysis. Several criteria for abnormalities are age, race and sex
dependent. Race, for example is key in identifying hypertrophy and
T-wave abnormalities.
USES CLINICAL HISTORY
The program is the Þrst to use clinical class as an integral part of
analysis just as a physician would consider clinical class in his or
her evaluation.
UNDER CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT & ENHANCEMENT
The program has been clinically tested against more than 80,000
ECGs and is continuously under development.
ACCURATELY DETECTS NORMAL ECGs
Normal ECGs are easily identiÞed and sorted so the physician may
quickly verify results.
