Description: Vintage Burdick Telecor TC-20 Cardiac Monitor Portable 1950's Collector Item History: Founded in the 1940s, Burdick Corporation, of Milton, Wisconsin, manufactured heart monitors and other medical devices. The Burdick Telecor cardiac monitor, also called the TC-20, was used from the late 1950s through the 1960s. It functioned only as a pulse meter. The device detected and registered cardiac arrest or arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) in two ways. Hypodermic electrodes transmitted a signal of the heartbeat that was visually displayed on a gauge, and a transducer strapped to the patients fingertip gave an audible signal of the pressure of the pulse. The device was battery-powered, and came equipped with an earphone (missing in this example) to be worn by the anesthesiologist. The handle allowed it to be suspended from a hook, or placed upright on a Tabletop Thanks for considering **Be sure to check out our other vintage electronics for sale!**
