The LIFENET System website keeps track of all consults, allowing physicians to view their activity. Users can configure LIFENET Consult to remove patient sensitive information and to specify the following parameters: -12-lead format and type (3, 4, and 12-channel; standard or Cabrera) -Sweep speed (25 mm/sec or 50 mm/sec) -Diagnostic mode (.05-150Hz or .05-40Hz) -Grid (none, 1mm, 5mm) -CO2 units (mmHg, kPa) -BP units (mmHg, kPa) In order to use LIFENET Consult beyond the demo mode, you must register the product.
