Pathfinder SL
Speed – Accuracy – Control

Pathfinder SL represents the evolution of over 50 years of technology, design, algorithm development and experience in
the analysis of ambulatory ECG recordings. Our experience has taught us that our customers need speed, accuracy and
control, with a high degree of visibility and confidence in the analysis and reporting process.
Pathfinder SL enhances and converges the best features and capabilities of a range of products, including our legacy
Holter systems, into one seamless analysis solution to enable the comprehensive exploration of a patient’s cardiac condition.
List of compatible recorders: Spacelabs Eclipse Pro, Eclipse Mini, Lifecard CF, Lifecard 12, and Evo recorders.
Quick look at Pathfinder
Pathfinder SL’s powerful algorithm is designed to quickly analyze hundreds of thousands of beats in even complex, noisy or unstable recordings. Pathfinder is designed to provide accurate analysis on a wide demographic, both adult and pediatric. Our algorithms are continuously developed and enhanced to improve the analysis available for our customers. The analysis provides the clinician with comprehensive insight into ECG events and morphologies as well as providing beat counts, beat labeling, ST segment,
Heart Rate Variability, and QT analysis.
- Beat Morphology Analysis
- Beat Shape Learning
- Dynamic Artifact Rejection
- Dynamic Pattern Matching Algorithm
- Multi Channel Analysis
- Prospective and Real Time Re-analysis
- Trigger and Noise Sensitivity Controls
ST analysis
- Fourteen day ST segment analysis including action replay and measurement point adjustments
- 12-Lead Holter ST analysis including lead selection and color mapping of elevation / depression deviations
12-Lead analysis
- Selectable leads for analysis
- 12-Lead ECG snapshot at any period
- Full Glasgow algorithm 12-Lead ECG interpretation on 12-Lead Holter ECG’s
Pacing analysis
- Atrial and ventricular paced beat detection with pacing track
- Paced beat histograms, scatter plots and relationship diagrams for rapid identification of pacing function
- Pacing rate control graphs with day/night and overall comparisons
HRV analysis
- Pathfinder SL’s trigger algorithm and user sensitivity controls enable the system to precisely trigger on R-waves even in the presence of noise
- Fourteen day HRV analysis with multiple views of rates and rhythms including the arrhythmia graph are available
QT analysis
- QT trend graphs and tables
- QT measurement adjustment markers
- QT or QTc measurements
Pathfinder SL can be easily deployed across multiple networked sites using the connectivity of the Sentinel software. It also offers the possibility to customize results reports.
Multi screen
Pathfinder SL’s dual screen configuration allows independent parallel views of ECG, graphs, trends or tables increasing the efficiency of use.
Guided scanning
Pathfinder SL’s guided scanning mode can be easily and quickly adapted to automatically stop and guide the user to beat shape changes or events on a recording by recording basis. Tachogram, RR histogram, and arrhythmiagraph functionalities are incorporated into Pathfinder SL.
Sleep apnea
The Sleep Apnea analysis option for Pathfinder SL helps to indicate periods of apneic sleep. Changes in the RR interval, along with the power spectral frequencies of heart rate variability can be identified from respiratory waveforms of the ECG signal.
Pathfinder SL is not available for sale in all countries. Please contact your local Spacelabs Healthcare representative or regional office for more information.
