Does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a mobile uhf telemetry radio for ambulances that can transmit ekg tracing and uses a handset and can be mounted in the patient compartment. I AM TRYING NOT TO TURN TO CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY AND WE ALREADY HAVE THE GEMSCOM RADIO:sad:
 
Contact your EKG manufacturer and see what they recommend using.

Your second problem will be how will the recieving hospital receive it? Most are going to cellular.
 
Sorry, I can't help you! We use cellular telemetry.
 
Just out of interest, how many of you send EKGs to the ER? Do you send them routinely, on request of the MD or if you have a FLB (funny looking beats)?

I'm in Connecticut and can not remember the last time anyone up here sent a strip. The only time I ever sent one was to see how the new (at the time) telemetry equipment worked.

For the past six months or so it has been company policy to transmit all 12 lead EKGs to the local hospitals.
 
It is policy for us to send all 12 leads to the receiving facility. It has been that way here since about 2002
 
Around here, some ALS squads are getting the cell-phone telemetry stuff.


I think this was UHF:
