The strengths of Holter ECG monitoring include its simplicity and the lack of need for patient activation. The continuous monitoring allows capture of asymptomatic arrhythmias or arrhythmias associated with loss of consciousness as well as documentation of circadian variation in arrhythmia occurrence.

However the regular 24-hour Holter ECG’s imposed a very limited period of monitoring to a very short window that is often inadequate to diagnose the cause of symptoms.

With SCHILLER’s new MICROVIT MT-101 nano Holter ECG Recorder, you may now monitor your patients heart activity up to 72 hours.

The MT-101 nano Holter Recorder is designed for 2 or 3-channel ECG recordings, depending on the ECG cable you use.

To view and analyse your recorded data you may simply transmit the patients data via integrated USB interface or external SD card reader to any computer, featuring the Medilog Darwin analysis system.

On a very user-friendly Windows Interface, the MT-200 Analysis Software executes the most complicated operations, such as:

• Analysis of 2 or 3 channels in different combinations
• ST-Analysis
• HR Trend overview
• HR Variability (Fire of Life)
• Pacemaker Templates
• Template Matching
• Reclassification in less than 2 seconds by ‘Drag & Drop’ function

When it comes to administrating and saving your data, the system enables:

• Generation of PDF files
• E-mail function
• Connection to the SCHILLER SEMA-200 Data Management System

72 hour Holter Recordings with MT-101 nano

SCHILLER’s unique Multipulse Biowave® is a wave that is pulsed at a high frequency (chopped).

The pulsed wave is made up of two phases, where the current flows in two opposite directions (biphasic) with a fixed duration of 4 ms for each phase, regardless of the patient impedance. That duration has been found to be optimal for the excitation of myocardial cells, maximising the safety and effectiveness of the defibrillation.

Because a second capacitor is used to produce the second phase (negative), the amplitude of the phase is not necessarily identical to that prevalent at the end of the first phase. Consequently, it can be defined freely so as to obtain the amplitude that is best suited to the physiological needs of the heart.

The second phase is sized optimally, and the charges accumulated during the first phase in the myocardial cells can be eliminated completely at the end of the wave. As a result of that elimination, the re-excitation of the unstable cells is prevented, and therefore all the re-entry loops are blocked. The outcome is optimised defibrillation with the least possible energy.

This is how the greatest efficacy can be derived from a biphasic defibrillation wave.
