FAA ECG TRANSMISSIONS
11/01/2007: Covance recently terminated
ECG interpretation services which left many AME's scrambling for service.
The FAA is accepting hard-copy ECG/EKG's either with the FAA examination or
separately until the end of November 2007. A note indicating "Due to
Covance" should be attached to the hard-copy ECG. Compumed
provides this service and rental equipment for a monthly fee.
For more information contact Compumed at 800-421-3395, Extension 123.

Solutions recently researched FAA-Ready ECG units. The problem with used units is that regardless of
what you buy you often have to purchase a separate modem to transmit to the
FAA. Several units are available online at Ebay and other locations, however, these are
often either too old
for compatibility or require you to purchase a separate modem which may run about
as much as $1000.
Mortara's hotline can help you
determine if a particular unit is compatible and they have 2 units which are "FAA-ready". The
lowest price for a complete set up is $2349 which includes the
required modem. The more expensive unit has larger print out.
Interpretation capability is extra on either model.
