Configuring the Mortara ELI 150 to Send EKGs to Office Email:

  1. Check Device Capabilities:

    • The Mortara ELI 150 ECG machine has networking capabilities, but it does not natively support direct email transmission out of the box. The EKGs are typically sent to a network server or an electronic medical record (EMR) system that could then be configured to forward them to an email.
    • You need to ensure that the device has the necessary software and hardware options installed to enable networking.
  2. Network Configuration:

    • To enable any form of data transmission, the ELI 150 must be connected to a network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. You must access the system setup menu to configure network settings such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server.
  3. Setup TCP/IP and DICOM Settings:

    • The ELI 150 uses standard communication protocols such as TCP/IP and DICOMfor data transfer. To configure the EKG machine to send files to an email, you would typically:
      • Go to Setup -> Network.
      • Enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and other network parameters to connect to your network.
      • Navigate to the DICOM or HL7 settings to set up an integration with a networked server or an EMR system.
  4. Configure a Receiving Server (EMR or PACS):

    • EKGs captured on the ELI 150 are usually sent to a server or PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) that is configured to receive DICOM or HL7 files. You would then configure that server or EMR system to forward the EKGs via email.
    • Ensure that the server is set up to allow file transfer from the ELI 150 using a compatible communication protocol (DICOM, FTP, etc.).
  5. Email Forwarding Configuration:

    • Most EKG machines, including the ELI 150, do not have native email clients. You would set up an intermediary server, such as an EMR system or a DICOM router, to receive the EKGs and then automatically send them to a configured email address.
    • The server can be set up to convert the EKG files (e.g., PDFs) and send them to specific email addresses.
  6. Testing the Configuration:

    • After setting up the network and server configurations, perform a test to ensure that the EKGs are being sent and received correctly by the server.
    • Once confirmed, test the email forwarding functionality from the server to ensure EKGs are correctly sent to the office email.
  7. Data Security and Compliance:

    • Ensure that all data transmission is secure and compliant with data protection regulations (e.g., HIPAA in the U.S.). Emails sent over standard email servers are generally not encrypted, so use secure methods such as TLS encryption or secure portals when transmitting patient information.

Hello ! 

I think Mortara ELI 150 Configuration to send EKG to office email usually involves some steps. It has a lot of detailed steps like Accessing Configuration Menu, Turning on ELI 150 and waiting for booting, Pressing "Menu" button to access main menu and some other steps I think you should refer to this issue information
