A quality control system in combination with an ECG data analysis system to analyze ECG data acquired by an ambulatory electrocardiography device via a cable having a plurality of leads connected to a subject is provided. The quality control system includes a memory having programmable instructions for execution by a processor to perform the steps of calculating a trend of a quality score in the ECG data dependent on a noise content in the ECG data; and calculating a probability that one of a hardware and the Hookup personal, each associated with collecting the ECG data from the subject, is a substantial cause of the quality score for the ECG data. The probability can be calculated based on a comparison the trend of the quality score associated with the Hookup personnel versus the trend of the quality score of the hardware employed in acquiring the ECG data.
A quality control system in combination with an ECG data analysis system to analyze ECG data acquired by an ambulatory electrocardiography device via a cable having a plurality of leads connected to a subject, comprising:
The quality control system of claim 5, wherein the quality control system can calculate and create for display a quantification of the noise content in the ECG data acquired via each of the plurality of leads connected to the subject.
The quality control system of claim 5, wherein the overall quality score calculated by the quality control system includes a user quality score received from a user directed to one of the unique identifier of the Hookup personnel, a unique identifier of the ambulatory electrocardiography device, a unique identifier of one of the plurality of leads, and a unique identifier of a cable connecting the plurality of leads to the ambulatory electrocardiography device.
A quality control system in combination with an ECG data analysis system to analyze ECG data acquired by an ambulatory electrocardiography device via a cable having a plurality of leads connected to a subject, the improvement comprising:
The quality control system of claim 11, wherein the ECG data acquisition includes a memory having a plurality of programmable instructions for execution by a processor to perform the steps of:
The quality control system of claim 13, wherein the hardware is one of the plurality of leads, the ambulatory electrocardiography device, and the cable connecting the plurality of leads to the ambulatory electrocardiography device employed in collected the ECG data from the subject.
