Baxter Welch Allyn Q-Stress Cardiac Exercise Stress Testing System

The Baxter Q-Stress® Cardiac Stress Testing System is an advanced exercise stress testing solution designed to help healthcare providers perform accurate, efficient, and secure cardiac assessments. Built for hospitals, cardiology practices, and diagnostic testing facilities, the system captures, analyzes, and manages high-quality 12-lead ECG data throughout exercise stress testing to support the detection of coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular conditions. Its intuitive interface, advanced ECG analysis algorithms, and seamless connectivity simplify clinical workflows while helping clinicians make confident diagnostic decisions.

Key Features

• Advanced VERITAS® ECG analysis algorithm for accurate real-time ST-segment monitoring, arrhythmia detection, and resting ECG interpretation.
• Source Consistency Filter (SCF) technology minimizes baseline wander and electrical noise while preserving ECG waveform quality.
• Real-time full disclosure allows clinicians to review and analyze historical ECG data at any point during the stress test.
• Intuitive left-to-right workflow and touchscreen interface streamline exam setup and operation.
• Large 24-inch display presents patient information, ECG waveforms, and test data on a single screen for improved clinical visibility.
• Optional Wireless Acquisition Module (WAM™) provides untethered ECG acquisition, reducing cable clutter and improving patient comfort.
• Supports adult, adolescent, and pediatric 12-lead ECG interpretation.
• Flexible reporting and configurable workflows help accommodate a variety of clinical protocols and physician preferences.

Secure & Connected Workflow

The Q-Stress system is designed to integrate with modern healthcare environments through standards-based connectivity. Bidirectional HL7® and DICOM® communication enables seamless exchange of patient information with EMRs, PACS, and ECG management systems, helping reduce manual data entry and improve workflow efficiency. Advanced encryption and configurable user permissions help protect sensitive patient information while supporting regulatory and organizational security requirements.

Clinical Benefits
