The MAC 1600 electrocardiograph

The MAC®1600 continues GE’s legacy of
innovation in ECG acquisition and analysis
with a modern system designed with input
from users around the world.
Experience:
• Diagnostic confidence through the proven and
outstanding Marquette®12SL™ECG analysis
program that assists physicians in making
appropriate diagnoses and treatment decisions
for their patients.
• Simplified workflow through connectivity with
GE’s MUSE®or CardioSoft™information systems.
The MAC 1600’s usability and configuration modes
include resting ECG, rhythm and arrhythmia.
• Scalability through a system that adapts to
your needs and allows you to add exercise
testing, with options for communication and
ECG analysis, at any time.
The MAC 1600 is particularly suited for
physicians in offices, medium-sized clinics
and community hospitals.

Evolution on display.
Designed with input from users across the globe, the MAC
1600 features an intuitive, easy-to-learn interface, clear color
display and an adaptable configuration.
• Intuitive – The soft key menu makes patient data entry
easy and fast.
• Clear – The 7'' color WVGA gives crystal clear review
of the ECG waveform.
• Digital – Onscreen review of your ECG saves paper
and costly repeat ECGs.
• Portable – The MAC 1600 can be easily transported.
Its advanced Lithium Ion battery permits three hours
of continuous use.
• Disinfection – Hospital-grade keypad allows for easy
cleaning and maintenance.
• Secure – The MAC 1600 offers user ID and password
protection for patient data privacy, helping you to meet
HIPAA requirements.
Full-color WVGA display of all 12 ECG leads.
Slide-out paper drawer can be easily
loaded and quickly adjusted for US
letter and A4 paper sizes.
Integrated handle makes
transportation easier.
Dedicated lead keys permit scrolling
between 6- and 12-lead review.
F1-6 keys directly correspond
to detail in boxes above.
Advanced Lithium Ion battery technology
permits three hours of continuous use.

Smart.
The MAC 1600’s resting ECG function can be easily configured
to meet the needs of nearly every practice. With instant
assessment of the ECG signal quality, the availability of
GE’s Marquette 12SL ECG analysis program, and an easy
connection to your ECG cardiology management system,
the new MAC 1600 couldn’t be smarter.
• Diagnostic confidence – Recognized across the globe
as one of the most validated programs in the industry,
the optional GE Marquette 12SL ECG analysis program
provides true, computer-interpreted analysis of adult
and pediatric populations.
• Signal quality – The Marquette 12SL Hookup Advisor™
ensures ECG signal quality from the start. This exclusive
GE algorithm goes beyond simple electrical checks
to advise clinicians of poor waveform quality during
the recording of ECGs.
• Easy configuration – The MAC 1600 automatically
captures 10-second ECGs with one-touch operation.
Additionally, you can select the rhythm ECG mode
to continuously review all 12 leads, or the arrhythmia
mode for an extended review of arrhythmias or events.
• Comprehensive – The MAC 1600 offers more than just
acquisition. Its online editing and re-analysis of ECG
waveform capabilities enhance the accuracy of
patients’ records.

Connected and scalable.
Not only is the MAC 1600 capable of seamlessly connecting
to the MUSE and CardioSoft information systems, it also
adapts to your specific needs and can be expanded as those
needs grow. Full connectivity enables you to streamline your
ECG workflow and improve efficiencies.
• EMR ready – The MAC 1600 connects easily to your EMR
system through GE’s CardioSoft software.
• Seamless – Connectivity with MUSE and CardioSoft can
help clinicians increase departmental productivity and
reduce errors. The MAC 1600 instantly sends and receives
complete patient ECG data for immediate remote review
or overread. Optional communication packages include
LAN, internal modem and direct serial line.
• XML – ECG records are exported in XML format, from
internal memory to a secure digital (SD) card.
• Expandable memory – Save up to 100 ECG records locally
or transfer records to a SD card for offline ECG storage
or transmission.
• Simplification – Automatic storage, transmission and
deletion of data.
• Barcode scanning – The barcode reader option helps
reduce errors by automating the input of patient data.
Stress testing.
The MAC 1600 can be turned
into a cost-effective and
multi-functional cardiac
workstation by adding the
exercise test option whenever
you need it.
• Versatile – Select from over
20 pre-defined stress testing
protocols, including Bruce, modified Bruce and Naughton,
or your own pre-defined protocols.
• Multi-purpose
– Supports treadmill, bicycle and master step stress devices.
– 6- or 12-lead display.
– VGA output to maximize waveform review by connecting
directly to an external CRT.
