Cardiac Triggering Monitor for Gated Imaging — Ivy Model 3000

In advanced diagnostic imaging suites, particularly during cardiac MRI or CT angiography, precise synchronization with the patient's cardiac cycle is essential for clear, artifact-free images. The Ivy Cardiac Trigger Monitor 3000 is engineered specifically for this critical gating application.

This monitor acquires a patient's ECG signal and provides a reliable trigger to the imaging scanner, ensuring that image acquisition is perfectly timed with the heartbeat. This process is fundamental for minimizing motion artifacts and achieving high-quality, diagnostic images of the heart and major vessels.

Key technical features include:

• ECG Lead Selection: Supports standard lead configurations including LI, LII, and LIII for flexible patient setup.
• Patient Connection: Utilizes a 6-Pin AAMI standard patient cable for compatibility.
• Signal Integrity: Features a Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) of 90 dB, crucial for maintaining a clean ECG signal in the electrically noisy environment of an imaging suite.
• Electrical Safety: Designed with ground isolation rated at 4 kV rms (5.5 kV peak) to ensure patient and operator safety.

For clinical engineering and radiology departments, the Model 3000 serves as a robust and dedicated solution for enhancing cardiac imaging capabilities or as a direct replacement for older gating systems.
