Top reasons to choose the Baxter ELI 280 or CP 150 Resting ECG vs. the GE MAC 5 Resting ECG
When considering an investment in new ECG devices, we recommend keeping your care setting, volume of ECGs, and use cases in mind.
The ELI 280 ECG can be leveraged in both acute and primary care environments. This ECG cart is optimal if your organization contains both hospitals and clinics or physician practices that require connected patient data. The ELI 280 can handle both low-volume and high-volume ECGs and provides a secure connection to your ECG management system or EMR for immediate results.
If you're considering one device to perform two different diagnostic tests, the CP 150 is an excellent option. With this lightweight, portable ECG machine, clinicians can perform both ECGs and spirometry exams with one device.
The ECG is the most performed cardiovascular diagnostic procedure, with >100 million ECGs obtained annually in the United States.¹ Investing in simple, secure, and high-quality ECG devices is of utmost importance.

How do the Baxter ELI 280 Resting ECG and CP 150 ECG compare to the GE MAC 5 ECG?
Below, compare a few of the top resting ECG options for your primary care setting. Some things to consider are making sure the cardiograph has an algorithm that is trusted for accuracy, has an appropriate storage capacity for your projected volume of ECGs, and technology to help streamline your workflow.
Some primary care practices keep all ECG exams in-house, while others outsource to a cardiology clinic or hospital. The Baxter ECG devices are simple and intuitive to give you the confidence to perform ECGs within your practice. It's important to select a device that is compatible with your current workflow and streamlines your processes as much as possible.

Top Three Questions for Integrating New ECG Technology
Many practices think ECGs just need to be “good enough.” An ECG is usually the first test a doctor will use to assess patient complaints related to the heart. With that in mind, an ECG may be the most important thing you do today.
When was the last time you thought through the best way to implement, manage and connect your ECGs? If it’s been a while, here are some questions to consider to get you started down the right path.
Formerly branded as Burdick, Mortara, and Welch Allyn, Baxter's diagnostic cardiology portfolio encompasses over 20 years of diagnostic cardiology innovation.
Wireless Freedom
With our Wireless Acquisition Module (WAM), compatible with the ELI 280 resting ECG, you can capture ECGs untethered from patients, so you can move freely throughout the exam room without cabling to get in the way.
Accurately Identify Critical ECGs
Experience one of the top ECG interpretations with the VERITAS Interpretation Algorithm.
Baxter's proprietary VERITAS Interpretation Algorithm recognizes and alerts for critical ECGs associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) more accurately than the competition.² The VERITAS Algorithm is also most likely to detect arrhythmias with the highest sensitivity.
Simple-to-use devices require fewer steps to deliver more accurate results.
94% of ECG users surveyed say Baxter's diagnostic cardiology devices can help improve workflow efficiency.³
