PAPER FOR CONTEC CMS90A and CMS5000

The CONTEC CMS90A and CMS5000 are both medical devices that use thermal paper for printing ECG and monitoring results directly from the device. Here’s a breakdown of the thermal paper specifications and purchasing considerations for these models:

Thermal Paper Specifications

1. Paper Type:

   • Both devices use thermal paper for printing. Thermal paper is specially coated to react to heat, producing a clear printout without the need for ink.

2. Roll Dimensions:

   • The dimensions can vary depending on the device model, but most CONTEC ECG and monitor devices typically require 50mm (width) thermal paper rolls with a standard length, often around 20-30 meters.
   • For some devices, particularly handheld models like the CMS90A, shorter rolls may also be compatible.

3. Compatibility:

   • Ensure the thermal paper roll’s width and core size fit the device’s paper compartment to avoid jamming or poor print quality.
   • Check the specific dimensions required for the CMS90A and CMS5000 models, as exact sizing will ensure optimal performance and clear printouts.

Paper Quality Considerations

• Durability: Use high-quality thermal paper to ensure prints are long-lasting and resistant to fading, which is crucial for medical records.
• Sourcing: Compatible thermal paper is often available from medical supply stores, office supply stores, or directly from the manufacturer.
• Storage: Thermal paper should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent premature fading.

Where to Buy

• Medical Supply Stores: Both physical and online stores often stock compatible thermal paper for CONTEC models.
• Direct from CONTEC: For assurance on compatibility, purchasing from CONTEC’s official website or authorized resellers can be ideal.
• Online Retailers: Websites like Amazon, eBay, and specialty medical equipment suppliers may carry the correct size thermal paper.
