Ecg Md100b Software Download: A Review of the Features and Specifications of the MD100B



You will also find some software which works as both ECG viewer and simulator. In these software, you can simulate the opened ECG graph. You can also vary the parameters of simulation, like scan time (in seconds), trigger level, etc.


EDFBrowser is my favorite ECG Viewer software. It offers a lot of features by which you can customize the ECG signal of a patient. You can vary the amplitude and timescale of the ECG signal. EDFBrowser is not only an ECG viewer software but also a converter tool. It lets you convert various ECG formats into EDF/BDF.

EDFBrowser is a free ECG viewer software for Windows. The ECG files with formats EDF, BDF, and REC can be viewed in this software. It is an ECG viewer plus simulator software, which lets you simulate the opened ECG file. After opening an ECG file, you will get the following options:


BMS-Plus Software is another useful software to view and analyze ECG files. The ECG files in .ekg, .raw, and .dcd formats are supported by this freeware. It offers various customization options for ECG graphs:


Glass is another useful tool available in the software. It acts as a magnifying glass and shows the magnified view of the region on which it is being hovered. After selecting this tool, press and hold the left click of your mouse to activate it on the graph. This tool is helpful in analyzing the P, Q, R, S, and T waves on the graph.


EcgViewer is another free ECG viewer software in this run-down. The default format to view an ECG file in this software is set to SCP-ECG, but you can change it in the settings menu. Other formats include MIT-BIH (Read Only), OMRON801 (Read Only), Philips XML (Read Only), and GE XML (Read Only). You can open multiple ECG files in this software and tile them horizontally or vertically.


C# ECG Toolkit is another free software to view the recorded ECG files. It is a very useful software which supports multiple recorded ECG file formats. These ECG formats include aECG File (.xml), DICOM File (.dcm), ISHNE File (.ecg), MUSE-XML File (.xml), OmronECG File (.ecg), and SCP-ECG File (.scp).


ECG Viewer is another free ECG viewer software for Windows. It is a DICOM viewer software, in which you can view the ECG files with .dcm extension. It is a straightforward software in which you can view and print the ECG patterns. In order to open an ECG graph of a patient, go to File > Open. The print option becomes available after opening an ECG file in the software.


FreeECG is another portable ECG viewer freeware for Windows. It is an ECG viewer and also an ECG simulator software, which simulates the opened ECG files. Only the ECG files with .ecg format are supported by this software.


For several years in an attempt to stay neutral, as objective as possible, and not express my personal choices, I mostly avoided stating my opinions and making any recommendations on this website. However, in response to numerous emails that I received asking for help in deciding what was best for particular situations and in view of significant revisions in devices and software that some of the companies have made, which clearly improved them over both their own previous versions and the current versions of competitors, it became necessary (and yet still objective) that I state my personal choices. The three on this current list are the ones that I myself use routinely. At the same time, I also need to say that even though the various other devices shown on this webpage are not "tester's choices", they are still good, all passed my criteria for getting listed on this webpage, some might be better for some persons for various reasons, and all of the others on this website (plus perhaps others that I haven't tested) are also worthy of consideration.


The main, general reasons for choosing these three are that they all have resulted from significant revisions, developments, and major improvements in either or both the devices themselves and their associated software packages.

The comments, shown above, are currently called "Public", which they normally are not or should not be (except here where I am posting the tests for the whole world to see). Rather, they should be considered as "Patient" comments. The company intends to address this issue with the next software release.


The downloadable items include an app for the android smartphone (see "ECGViewer_android.rar in the download list). I myself have not tested or used that app as I don't have an android phone, but it is described as providing instant communication, ECG data transfer, reading of ECGs, and early warning.


View of computer screen with software running and with a pop-up list of records (by clicking the "Open" button), ready to choose a record for opening. (Note: I changed the names of the files in their folders to reflect conditions of the recordings for my convenience in working with the files later. The system saves the recordings under shorter names by time of recording etc.)


Computer screen view of section of a recording. Comments can be added to the record by clicking on the box at the bottom just to right of center, adding up to 30 characters of comments as shown, then clicking the "save" checkmark button to the right of the comments box. There are several options within the software for different views and analysis, and a scroll bar at the bottom for scrolling through long records.


=45 (and click on the MD100E from the list). For links and sources, do a browser search for "md100e ecg", e.g.: =md100e+ecg. Note: I tested some of the other, earlier versions of this device but did not like them and did not include them in this review of handheld devices. The latest version, however, has gone through several revisions, is much improved, and there are many aspects (but still not all, particularly with the accompanying software) that I really like about it. It can produce (with good electrode placement) some of the best ECG tracings that I've seen, including during strenuous activity.


Most things involve trade-offs. However, this ECG machine is an example of an item with somewhat extreme trade-offs. The device itself is great and it produces some excellent ECG records and printouts. But the software, at least the English version that I got (3.7.3), is full of quirks and, at least initially, very difficult to work with!


(Note: The software version I used was 3.7.3. From searching the internet, I believe there is now a version 6.7 which might [or might not] have corrected some of these problems [or might have only revised the software to work on 64 bit computers and the latest versions of Microsoft Windows]. But I have not been successful when trying to download the latest version [the download page has problems that I have not been able to solve nor have I been able to contact the company directly]. If anyone reading this can provide better information, including perhaps someone from the Choicemmed company or a distributor or someone who owns the latest version of the device and software, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.)


If you read the software manual that comes on the CD, play around with the menus and options extensively, have patience with such things and hang in there, eventually you get it figured out. Then, if you use it often enough to remember how to do it or make notes to yourself for future reference, you'll be okay and it's not so bad. Otherwise, the next time you go to use it, you'll have to figure it out all over again! Hopefully, it will be (or perhaps already has been) revised to take care of these problems. The main software difficulties that I encountered are (1) confusing menu wording and figuring out how to do what you want it to do (including getting the records to upload from the device, working with the records in different ways and [next point]), (2) getting the record you want printed, (3) not being able to add comments to the records (so you have to keep separate paper records to keep everything straight and associated information together, or simply write it manually on the printouts), and (4) dealing with long recordings, which the system breaks down into a large number of short records rather than keeping everything together in one long record.


The basic package that comes with a purchase: ECG recorder, instruction manual, software, optional cable and lead wires, plus USB cable for connecting the recorder to a computer for uploading records.


View of the computer software's (v 3.7.3) opening menus screen. To me, the wordings are not intuitive and, in fact, confusing. I'm wondering if maybe they weren't translated from Chinese to English by a computer?! The "ContinueDataDisplay", upper right corner, is for the real-time monitor, when the recorder is connected to the computer. "ContinueDataReplay" is for the records that were saved (by the computer when monitoring or on the SD card when monitoring with "ContinueDataDisplay"). "EasyDataReplay" is for uploading, saving, and reviewing recordings saved internally in the recorder or by importing (including long, Holter type, records) from the SD card. "ArchiveManager is for entering or editing patient information. "CommonSense" is for information on trouble-shooting a few problems and some basic background information on the subject of ECGs. Each of these entry menus, once opened, then have further menus. 2ff7e9595c
