Quinton Q-Tel RMS

The Q-Tel Cardiac Rehabilitation Management System simplifies workflow to allow clinicians to spend more time with patients working on their cardiac rehab programs and less time producing documentation and reports. The system's wireless Pocket Assistant allows you to control session parameters from the floor, and Windows-based software provides familiar icons and an intuitive interface. Forms and reports in the Microsoft Excel file format are easily customizable to suit your program's requirements.

NEW! – Q-Tel is the first DICOM-compatible cardiac rehabilitation system in the market! Click here for the DICOM Conformance Statement.

The Q-Tel system can link easily to your PACS/HIS/EMR system using industry standard HL7, DICOM, XML, or PDF protocols so you can download patient demographic information and upload session data.

The Q-Tel RMS also offers seamless integration with the Orion Outcomes Data Management System. And you can add the Quinton Q-Exchange option for bi-directional communication with your medical informatics system.

FAQs & Troubleshooting Tips

Are AEDs reliable?

The patented Rescue Ready technology makes the Powerheart AED among the most reliable AEDs in the industry. Everyday, to ensure anytime functionality, the Powerheart AED self checks all main components (battery, hardware, software, and electrode pads). Every week, the AED completes a partial charge of the high-voltage electronics. And every month, the AED charges the high-voltage electronics to full energy. If anything is amiss, the Rescue Ready status indicator on the AED handle changes from green to red and the device emits an audible alert to service the unit. In sum, a Powerheart AED is Rescue Ready to perform when a life depends on it.

Does Remote Support cost anything?

This service is available free of charge for our warranty and service contract customers. Billable customers are charged the standard hourly service rate.

How do I set up Remote Support on my Cardiac Science equipment?

Several methods are available. Examples of the most popular are PC Anywhere, Real VNC (Virtual Network Computing) or WebEx Intercall. Contact Technical Support for more details.

How does Remote Support benefit me?

We have the availability of experts to assist you in real time, without having to send your unit in, or sending a field service engineer on site. We can assist you with installing software and service patches. We can help identify workflow issues, verifiy versions and software settings. We can view and send log files to our FTP site. This has proved to be a valuable tool in resolving issues quickly meaning increased uptime for your equipment.

I am getting "Error: 1004" when launching Q-Progress application.

In Q-Progress, go to View > Options and verify the storage directory path: For Master Tower: The path should be C:\Program Files\Quinton\Q-Tel RMS\QProgressCSVData. For Slave Tower, Turnkey Workstation or Software-Only Worksation: The path should be [mapped drive letter]\QProgressCSVData.

Is Remote Support safe and secure?

Yes. Remote Support is safe and secure. Information is shared only between your computer, and the computer of the Technician working on your issue.

Medical Record Number (MRN) has invalid characters.

Edit MRN in Q-Tel RMS Tower or Q-Tel RMS Workstation application.

Microsoft Office suite needs to be activated.

Close Q-Progress and launch Microsoft Excel and follow the prompts to activate if you have an internet connection, or call Microsoft at the number provided in the Excel application.

QProgressCSVData folder is not shared or has insufficient permissions.

Verify this folder is shared with Full Control permissions for Qtel User and Qtel Admin accounts.

The report is corrupt.

Note filename and delete file. Regenerate new copy.

What is Remote Support?

Remote Support is the ability for the Cardiac Science Technical Support Team to access your PC directly. We can connect to your PC remotely and control the actions temporarily. We can also help fix problems and review log files over a secure internet connection.
