MIMIC-IV-ECG Machine manufacturers

[AndrejIring]

Hello, is there a way to determine the ECG manufacturer of the ECG machine that created the ECG? I would like to run an analysis per ECG manufacturer to see if there are any statistical differences between them.
Thank you.

@AndrejIring , unfortunately we don't have details about the manufacturers of the machines used to record the diagnostic ECGs. There is a cart_id column in the machine measurements table. The machine / manufacturer for a given cart_id should generally remain the same over time.

@briangow Would it be possible to access the anonymized raw exports from the ECG machines, such as XMLs, DICOMs, etc., since these tend to contain this information?

@AndrejIring , unfortunately this isn't possible.
