What is ecg paper?

With the continuous development of thermal paper technology, ECG paper has been increasingly used in the medical field and has become an indispensable tool for monitoring heart health. With its superior thermal printing properties, paper ECG can accurately record the electrical activity of the heart, helping doctors to promptly diagnose and assess the health of heart patients. Modern ECG chart paper not only has a high-quality surface coating to ensure the clarity and stability of the printed image, but also uses environmentally friendly materials to meet the requirements of sustainable development. In addition, with the popularization of smart medical equipment, the design of ECG graph paper has also been continuously innovated to adapt to different medical environments and equipment requirements, providing more efficient and reliable support for clinical work. Next, we will discuss the characteristics and uses of ECG machine paper in detail.

An ECG or EKG is a test method that records the electrical activity of the heart. By placing electrodes on the surface of the body, the electrocardiogram captures the electrical signals of the heart when it beats and generates a waveform that shows the heart rate, heart rhythm, and the propagation path of the heart's electrical signals. Doctors can diagnose problems such as arrhythmias and heart disease by analyzing these waveforms. The electrocardiogram is a non-invasive routine examination method that can provide information about the heart so that doctors can develop more effective treatment plans.

ECG paper is actually made of thermal paper, a special paper designed for recording electrocardiogram signals. By connecting the ECG grid paper to an electrocardiograph, and then amplifying and recording these electrical signals, the electrocardiogram activity can be printed out for doctors to view. In short, the core function of the ECG paper roll is to print out the heart's electrical activity in a graphical form to help doctors make accurate analysis and diagnosis.

1. ECG paper size:

The ECG paper roll size is the primary factor for compatibility with the ECG machine. Different brands and models of ECG machines may use different widths of paper. Choosing the wrong size will result in incomplete printing and affect the accuracy of the ECG recording paper. Therefore, be sure to confirm the specifications of the equipment before ordering and ensure that the paper can be perfectly matched. In addition, the length of the ecg thermal paper also affects the replacement frequency. Longer ecg roll paper can reduce the number of replacements and are suitable for medical environments with high frequency of use.

2. Grid accuracy

ECG paper is printed with fine grids and time marks. These grid lines are not only used to measure the intensity of the heart's electrical activity, but also help doctors accurately calculate time intervals (such as the time from P wave to QRS wave). The spacing of the grid is usually 1mm or 5mm, and accuracy is very important, so the grid on the paper must be clear and neat, without blur or offset. Doctors need to interpret subtle changes in the ECG based on these grids, so high-quality ECG printing paper should meet high standards in grid printing.

3. Durability

ECG recording paper, as diagnostic records, often need to be kept for a long time in order to compare the patient's historical ECG data. The durability of ECG tracing paper directly affects its preservation effect. High-quality thermal paper can keep the image clear and not easy to fade or blur when stored for a long time. When ordering, you should choose paper with anti-aging, heat-resistant and light-resistant properties to ensure that the ECG data can remain unchanged for a long time even in different environments. In addition, the printable ECG paper should not be easily curled or deformed due to external factors such as humidity and light.

4. Compatibility

Compatibility is one of the important factors in purchasing thermal ECG paper. If the ECG EKG paper you purchased is not compatible with your device, it means that you have bought this product in vain. Therefore, when purchasing, you must confirm with the salesperson whether it is compatible with your device. If you are not sure whether the ECG paper rolls are compatible with your device, it is best to follow the ECG device manual or ask after-sales service.

In short, when buying ECG paper, you must pay attention to the above factors, otherwise the ECG paper you buy may become unusable waste paper or damage the machine.
