ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for receiving digitized electrocardiographic (ECG) data, converting that data into a form suitable for reception by a facsimile device, and transmitting the data over a standard telephone line to a remote facsimile device. The apparatus includes an encased unit having modular connectors facilitating ready hookup to a telephone, a wall-type phone jack, a power source and a recording unit. The unit remains interconnected between the telephone and phone line, but is transparent to the operator and outside callers during normal telephone use. To facilitate easy use by the operator, a remote programmability feature is provided so that various user parameters stored in the apparatus may be accessed and reprogrammed from a remote touch-tone telephone.
