"What is the differance between INTERPRETIVE and non INTERPRETIVE ekg machines"
Interprete just screening for firmly attachment of cords. if poor signal detected mean check all lead ! otherwise unreadable.
Keep in mind the interpretation is just a screening tool to give a little help. There are all kinds of variables that can make the interpretation think there is a problem when it could be nothing more than a loose lead wire or electrical interference. Only a trained Physician\nurse can give a true interpretation. There are some ekg manufacturers who say they have a 97% accuracy but that accuracy has more to do with the quality of the hook up to the patient then the software in the machine.
Hello whosyerdaddy, the differance will be a print out informing you of detected adnormality in the waveforms. Interpretive is selected an adnormality may state an "AV weak" . A non Interpretive will state no adnormalitys detected in the the waveform. You will need to read all the waves for any adnormalitys.
