Simple operation and

intelligent analysis
Easy operation and efficient workflow are the foundations of Nihon Kohden’s
Cardiofax M electrocardiogram. With its large 7-inch color display, data can
be viewed easily and allows ECG preview before recording. Cardiofax M
supports paper-based and paperless workflows, enabling both waveform
and analysis results to be transferred to a PC for review.

Nihon Kohden’s breakthrough technology supports clinicians in testing more

patients with enhanced information available from analysis. With synECi18
technology, Cardiofax M provides 18-lead ECG information from a 12-lead
ECG, optimizing patient safety and functioning as a great triage tool.

• High-performance compliance with IEC 60601-2-[Link]
Cardiofax M complies with the IEC60601-2-25:2011 standard,
which indicates high accuracy of signal processing (AC
filtering), ECG measurement, and ECG analysis. It therefore
supports accurate ECG diagnosis.
